- The redevelopment of Kuntz Stadium into a vibrant community asset that can host school, after school, adult and recreational sport and educational opportunities
- The redevelopment of Kuntz Stadium to serve as a physical connection between 16 Tech, a revitalized Riverside Park, the Riverside Park Community, the trails that will (16Tech trail extension, B&O Corridor) or do (White River Trail) encircle Kuntz Stadium and as a gateway to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway
- The redevelopment of Kuntz Stadium as a future home of USA Rugby and its four national teams, men’s and women’s 7s (Olympic program) and 15s (World Cup program)
- The redevelopment of Kuntz Stadium as a potential home for a professional rugby team
- The redevelopment of Kuntz Stadium to serve as a home for Indiana Rugby, the state governing body for the sport, and potentially other field sports governing bodies for men and women
