Austin City Council to vote again on stadium deal

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Another day, another scheduled vote on the future of pro soccer in Texas and Ohio.

The Austin City Council is scheduled to decide Wednesday whether to move ahead with a stadium plan that could prompt Major League Soccer’s Columbus Crew to leave its home city after 22 years.

Austin delayed the vote a week, but is expected to make a decision whether to enter formal and final negotiations with Crew owner Anthony Precourt.

Precourt has been pushing for a move to Austin since 2017.
