This is a continuation of a great article, click here to read the first part

"It's very important to note that this is a League that's young, it is a league that continues to evolve and grow. We make decisions that we think are in the best long-term interest of the League. We have added 2 new owners into this League both who are going to be in great markets and who at one point are going to be playing in soccer specific stadiums.

 

Our agreement with Dave Checketts is one where he has full belief and understanding that to succeed long term he is going to need a soccer specific stadium. But if we had to wait for that to be constructed in Salt Lake City, we wouldn't be expanding here for another 3 or 4 years and that does not make any sense either."

"This is a community where news travels quickly for ant number of reasons. I remember in the early 1980s I joined the Utah Jazz on September 1st and the soccer season started in Nov. and we had 1500 season tickets sold for an NBA team. That was real pressure. I think I've got a lot of time here. And we're going to make a big splash in the Salt Lake City community for a whole host of reasons. We have a strong investor group. We are going to announce the team name and team logo in the next few weeks which I am sure everyone will find appropriate and unique. We will follow that with being in the drafts in Nov. and Jan. There's going to be something in the news all the time about this franchise to say nothing of the very strong affiliation we have with one of the strongest youth soccer programs in the world here in Utah. It's not going to be easy but do we have enough time? The answer is yes."

"I don't have any and I am sincere about that because I don't want to give you a number which then if I don't hit then everybody says that I'm probably going somewhere else. I have been that way before. The way it's going to work here is we're going to have to give fans some reason to come. The 1st reason is it is 'Major League.' Remember Salt Lake is used to having Helena (Montana) tonight, Billings (Montana) tomorrow night. This is going to be New York, Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles and Washington D.C. That will create some energy. The location of the stadium, the selection of players will continue to create excitement.
