Dave Greeley, President of Precourt Sports Ventures, announced Friday that Butler Shores Park will no longer be considered as a location for a Major League Soccer stadium.

Greeley said that this decision came after some members in the community expressed concerns about a stadium location at that site.

Some of the issues include traffic challenges, displacement of longstanding youth sports activities and its close proximity to other nature and residences among many others.
