News: Expansion Bid News - catch all thread

I like to call them, "New San Antonio"

 

South Carolina?

 

Actually, the site of the existing stadium - Cashman Field - would become the MLS club's practice pitch.

The Baupost Group, LLC bid calls for an investment team headed by Boston-based, billionaire hedge-fund manager Seth Klarman to purchase the USL Championship's Las Vegas Lights from Brett Lashbrook. While the team continued to compete in the USL Championship out of Cashman Field, the proposed 25,000-seat, domed stadium for a Major League Soccer franchise would be built on property adjacent to the 62-acre Cashman Center site. Once the new stadium was completed and Major League Soccer franchise rights had been secured, the Las Vegas Lights FC branding would be shifted to the MLS team. The current Cashman Field site would be maintained as the training center for the MLS team. The remainder of the Cashman Center acreage - everything other than the domed stadium and training site - would be redeveloped by The Renaissance Companies as a mixed-use space including hotel and residential components.

Per the Las Vegas Review-Journal of June 5, 2019:

"The plan is for the team to be sold to Baupost if a development deal is reached, play at Cashman Field until the new stadium is ready and then use the old field for practice upon joining the MLS as its latest expansion franchise."
