GREEN BAY (NBC26) — A proposal to bring professional soccer to Green Bay passed a key hurdle on Tuesday as the city's redevelopment authority approved a letter of intent.
The letter of intent gives Green Bay exclusive rights for a team and event space discussion.
"This is really about economic development," Mayor Eric Genrich said. "That's why we're interested."
As part of the discussion, the city may build a 5,000-seat soccer stadium somewhere in Green Bay. But officials say the letter of intent does not commit the city to build the stadium.
NBC 26 Senior Reporter Nina Sparano will have more on this developing story tonight on the air at 5 and 6.
