The US soccer official says Las Vegas is being strongly considered for an expansion team in the coming years. (Image: MLS)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"p1\">MLS Commissioner Don Garber said today in his annual State of the League address that Las Vegas is an ideal market for professional soccer. The MLS chief executive explained during his virtual press conference that billionaire Wes Edens, co-owner of the NBA Milwaukee Bucks, is interested in pursuing an MLS expansion team in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"main-blockquote\">\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>We\u2019re excited about the [Las Vegas] market,\u201d<\/strong> Garber said on the virtual conference video call.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\">MLS presently has 27 franchises, but is expected to increase to 29 in the coming years with new teams in Phoenix and San Diego. A 30th team \u2014 Las Vegas being the odds-on favorite currently \u2014 wouldn\u2019t play until at least 2024, Garber explained.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sports_Capital\"><\/span><b>Sports Capital<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">Las Vegas was shunned by professional sports leagues prior to the US Supreme Court in 2018 overturning the federal ban on sports betting outside of Nevada. But since that landmark SCOTUS decision, Sin City has become a major sports destination.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Las Vegas is today home to the NFL Raiders, NHL Golden Knights, and WNBA Aces. The MLB Oakland A\u2019s are also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/news\/oakland-as-to-las-vegas-rumors-are-intensifying\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">strongly considering relocating<\/a> to Southern Nevada.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Garber said the A\u2019s decision will have no impact on MLS and Las Vegas. The commissioner says the casino capital is more than able to accommodate numerous professional sports teams.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"main-blockquote\">\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>I\u2019m blown away by what\u2019s going on in Las Vegas, and I\u2019ve been in the sports business world for a really long time,\u201d<\/strong> Garber stated.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\">The commissioner added that Las Vegas has been considered by MLS for a host location since the league\u2019s founding in 1993. Garber says that he\u2019s met with Las Vegas Mayor Carolyn Goodman and her husband Oscar \u2014 also a former Las Vegas mayor \u2014 multiple times over his career regarding Las Vegas and professional soccer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">However, Garber thinks now presents the strongest chances of a team actually coming to Las Vegas. He justified that Las Vegas\u2019 debut of the Golden Knights was perhaps the greatest \u201cexpansion launch in the history of professional sports.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cWe\u2019re very bullish on the market, and we\u2019ll continue to plow forward,\u201d Garber declared.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The Golden Knights did the nearly unthinkable in their first season of play in the NHL. The expansion franchise entered the 2017-18 season with odds of 100\/1 to win the Stanley Cup in their inaugural campaign. They almost did, but lost in the Stanley Cup Finals in five games to the Winnipeg Jets.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Stadium_Plans_Coming\"><\/span><b>Stadium Plans Coming<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">An MLS venue certainly wouldn\u2019t cost anywhere near the $1.9 billion that was needed to build the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/news\/mgm-resorts-pondering-new-casino-development-las-vegas-strip\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Raiders\u2019 Allegiant Stadium<\/a>. Garber said discussions regarding an MLS stadium in Las Vegas are ongoing, and details should be expected in the coming months.<\/p>\n<div class=\"callout\">\n<p class=\"p1\">However, Allegiant would be a most suitable venue for a Las Vegas MLS team. The MLS schedule largely runs opposite of the NFL, and its dome capabilities would ease concerns regarding extreme heat during the summer months.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\">Several MLS teams play their home matches in NFL stadiums, including the New England Revolution (Gillette Stadium), Atlanta United FC (Mercedes-Benz Stadium), and Chicago Fire FC (Soldier Field).<\/p>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/news\/mls-las-vegas-expansion-odds-strong-league-commissioner-reveals\/\" target=\"_blank\">MLS Las Vegas Expansion Odds Strong, League Commissioner Reveals<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/news\" target=\"_blank\">Casino.org<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Major League Soccer (MLS) is eyeing Las Vegas for a potential home for one of its next expansion teams.
