Operators of the Crew are continuing in their "intense effort" to move the team to Austin, and plan to "have their proposal to the city by June 1 to make city-owned McKalla Place" their new home, according to Lyttle & Bils of the AUSTIN AMERICAN-STATESMAN. Precourt Sports Ventures reps have "grown more bullish on McKalla during the process" of its analysis as a potential stadium site. Austin Economic Development Department Redevelopment Project Manager Greg Kiloh said that the city has "devoted 40 people from 14 departments to studying all aspects of McKalla Place." PSV also has "three teams working on different projects in Austin." The largest group is "doing a deep dive into McKalla," while a second group is "looking into a temporary home for the club while a stadium is being built." A third team is "seeking out locations for a separate training facility." But the "clock is ticking." Austin-based attorney Richard Suttle, who reps PSV, said, "We've got to get the framework of a proposal to the city in the next two or three weeks." He added, "I don't know that we can wrap this up in June, but it's realistic to think we can have a good idea of whether or not this works by this summer." Meanwhile, Lyttle & Bils noted the timeline is a "tight fit from the city's end, as well." Kiloh said, "It's very ambitious. I'm pretty much working on it full time" (AUSTIN AMERICAN-STATESMAN, 5/6).
