Attorney general orders Jackson to turn over deed to Smith-Wills Stadium
SUMMARY: Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch has demanded the city of Jackson surrender Smith-Wills Stadium’s land to the state by September 30 or face legal action. Citing House Bill 1983, enacted by Governor Tate Reeves, Fitch noted the property was originally deeded for “park purposes” in 1944 but has faced scrutiny due to the former operation of a cigar shop on site. Tim Bennett has leased the stadium since 2019 for various events, including a summer event with South American cities. City officials plan to contest the state’s claim, while the future of the stadium remains uncertain.
