Real St. Louis?

by Administrator on January 31, 2007

There is a lot of soccer information in this article from today’s New York Times: Reyna to Red Bull New York, Beckham as a prince on horseback for Disney, Davids will not be at FC Dallas, Ronaldo to Real Madrid, Onyewu to Newcastle United, and the U.S. Women win the Four Nations Tournament. However, the most interesting news is this:

Dave Checketts said he might sell the rights to operate Real Salt Lake after local officials decided Monday not to provide $30 million in public financing for a new stadium. The club could remain in Utah, or Checketts could retain the rights and move the team, perhaps to St. Louis. Last year, he led a group that bought the St. Louis Blues. “Today it feels like a giant political play,” Checketts said during a conference call.
