Soccer news from all over
Dave Checketts' as-yet-unnamed Utah soccer franchise is off and running in search of public stadium funds, pitting Salt Lake City against its suburbs in the bidding to build a $20 million home for the club. In Ohio, meanwhile, where the bucks are looser, the prospective owners of a Cleveland-area MLS team have said it'll take $110 million to build a soccer stadium; they've offered to pay $20 million themselves, with the rest coming from public sources, possibly either a real-estate sales tax or a TIF.
