Trust me, the kind of money involved

they can ignore personal differences.

So, what do you actually know, and what are you merely speculating about?

This whole thing is starting to feel weird.

Actually I thought he said July 2008, because I thought he also said they would be at RES for 2 more seasons...

Real Salt Lake owner David W. Checketts announced Wednesday his intent to build a new multi-purpose sports and entertainment center in the town of Sandy, Utah, meaning the club will have its own stadium by 2007.

Quote:

"Our goal is to forge a partnership that creates no new burden on the Utah taxpayer and lets us break ground in the spring of 2006."

There you have it. Straight from the horse's mouth.

Spring would be, what, 2 months from now?
No way the Tourist Tax bill passes that quickly.
So unless the proverbial horse pays up front to get things going, no way they break ground by spring.

Good find. I still thought we had a big discussion here (or on BS) about how RSL would be at RES for 2 more seasons...perhaps age is truly getting to me.

Ahem!
Hotel-tax bill that aids Real is OK'd

Doesn't that article refer to the fact that the bill has survived committee, though, and not gone before the full Legislature?

Checketts can and has said many things. But its up to his staff and different parties to make it all happen.

After the RDA money went out the window RSL abandoned the mid '07 date. Besides, opening stadiums in the middle of the season is in vogue.

I hear that ground will be broken later this summer.
