What happened: Leech said the club cannot deliver the project alone and singled out the community benefits agreement process. The team wants negotiations to move faster.

Why it matters: The current stadium lease expires after the 2030 season, leaving little margin for delays. Slippage could disrupt permitting and construction for the planned Burnham Yard district.

What to watch: Watch whether city and community negotiations advance quickly enough to preserve the permitting and construction schedule.
