SUMMARY: The Mayor's office is disputing social media reports claiming the state has repossessed the stadium, suggesting that Republicans in the state legislature may be attempting to take control of city-owned property. The CEO of the venue was caught off guard by this possible power grab, as the land under the stadium was donated to the city for recreational and sporting events. A new state bill requires the state attorney general to determine if the city is using the land properly. The Mayor's office views this as a deceptive maneuver and is prepared to contest any attempts to repossess the property.
