One of Big League Utah's top leaders said Utah could 'potentially' bring in a team relocating from elsewhere.
LAYTON — Salt Lake City is pretty much out of the running when it comes to the future home of the Oakland Athletics,The stadium is planned to open in 2027, barring any setbacks, but canrecent bid to bring an MLB team to the state potentially draw in another major league club?
The land agreement is contingent on a $500 million tax incentive that the Nevada Assembly would have to approve by June 5, and there hasn't been a "concrete" proposal sent to the legislation yet,"If something was going to happen, it really should have been in place last week," Assembly Speaker Steve Yeager told the outlet, adding that the state government may "run out of time" before the end of its current legislative session.
When she announced Utah's intentions last month, Gail Miller, the owner of the Larry H. Miller Company, said the coalition is seeking to be considered "an expansion market." Of course, it wouldn't be the first time Salt Lake City became a relocation destination for a major sports franchise if a team resettles in the Beehive State. The New Orleans Jazz moved to Utah in 1979 and has continued to thrive in Utah's capital.
It also has the highest median income of any of the other markets vying for an expansion team. On top of that, Salt Lake City is already positioned in the middle of most of the flight paths when MLB teams travel West, making it a "geographical fit."
