Following up on the rumors that FC Kansas City might be up for sale, there is now a report that a potential buyer has stepped up for the NWSL team.
Potential buyer of Kansas City NWSL team is Elam Baer, CEO of North Central Equity in Twin Cities. Needs approval. Sporting KC has passed.

Based off of Wahl's original report, this could possibly necessitate a relocation to Minnesota in a worst-case scenario for Kansas City. Minnesota United FC is slated to begin their MLS tenure in 2017, so the soccer culture is certainly growing up north.
