COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa (AP) — A $7 million indoor turf facility for soccer and other sports is being planned for Council Bluffs. The 75,000-square-foot building would be erected just northwest of the Mid-America Center. Funding would come from the Iowa West Foundation and other grant sources. It would be called the Iowa West Sports Plex and would be operated and managed by the Council Bluffs Soccer Club. The fields inside would be used for youth baseball, softball, flag football and other sports in addition to soccer.

The Daily Nonpareil reports that the proposal awaits a city Planning Commission vote Tuesday and a City Council vote likely later this month.
