Real Salt Lake's Minor League Stadium Plans Take Hit In Legislature

Real Salt Lake's efforts to build a minor-league soccer stadium at the Utah state fairgrounds "took a step backward" yesterday. A state Legislature committee "voted down a proposal calling for the state to sign a 50-year lease" with non-profit group Utah State Fairpark, which operates the fairgrounds. The Fairpark "needs the extension so it in turn can sign a 40-year lease with RSL" to build an 8,000-seat, $18-23M stadium for the USL Monarchs. Some worried that the long-term lease "could lock the state into making higher long-term subsidies" (SALT LAKE TRIBUNE, 2/13).
