Yes, stadia is the plural noun.
In which Jeffersonville's Mike Moore says the right thing and cuts directly to the chase, while Jeff Gahan is ... yep, you guessed it, 'cuz he's unavailable for comment.
Again.
And again.
And again.
Time to move on, folks.
LouCity: We're committed to Louisville stadium, by Phillip M. Bailey, Madeleine Winer and Justin Sayers (Courier-Journal; 1:09 p.m. EST January 4, 2017)
Neace said "New Albany is not a frontrunner. We're down to two sites. Both those preferred sites are in Louisville." He said the team listened to New Albany's pitch but that plan is not the team's preference.
New Albany Mayor Jeff Gahan did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Mike Hall, a spokesman for Gahan, said the mayor met with Neace at the end of December and presented three possible locations for a stadium in New Albany. He said talks were still in the preliminary stages and did not know which locations were discussed.
Moore said the team is using talks with Southern Indiana cities as a negotiation tactic to gain leverage over Louisville and that he texted Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer on Aug. 30 about Neace's offer.
“I think it’s a ploy to get Louisville to ante up,” Moore said. “Jeffersonville is not interested in stealing Louisville’s soccer team.”

The ultimate in bright shiny objects? Now Jeff Gahan's going to build a pro soccer stadium in New Albany.
And it's only January 4.
"New Albany Mayor Jeff Gahan did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Mike Hall, a spokesman for Gahan, said the mayor met with Neace..."
ReplyDeleteDid we elect Jeff Gahan or Mike Hall? (not blaming Mr. Hall)
A question city council might begin asking, too. Unfortunately, the soccer experience probably will reinforce the silence (assuming the whole thing wasn't a back alley set piece), in that Gahan finally spoke to a reporter and it blew up in his face.
