Could New York, New York beat out NYC?

Moves are being made on a stadium plan and New York, New York could see soccer fans soon. Problem is, its the New York, New York resort in Las Vegas.

“We know absolutely, positively, the MLS is interested in [a franchise] for Las Vegas,” Porter said.  “They have said that themselves.”

Chris Milam is aggressively moving forward with a plan to build a sports complex not far from the Mandalay Bay resort that would include stadium for a Major League Soccer side.

The reports are that the stadium could be ready by 2014 and while Major League Soccer has said they are almost daily speaking to ownership groups in New York City, the fans are uneasy and news like this will make them even more so. 

Fact of the matter is, Vegas is moving forward on a stadium, the one element that seems to be holding New York City back.
