In a vote on 7 December 2018, Nantes Metropolitan Council agreed to discuss the sale of land critical to the proposed YelloPark project. Councillors also voted for the renovation of the Stade de la Beaujoire. However, after deliberations on 19 February 2019, the Council voted against selling the land needed to develop the project.[1][5] On 26 February 2019, the project was subsequently cancelled.[6]
