A hedge fund manager from Boston might not be the only billionaire interested in bringing a Major League Soccer expansion franchise to Las Vegas.
Two independent sources confirmed to the Review-Journal on Tuesday night that Golden Knights owner Bill Foley has engaged in discussions the past several months to land an MLS team that would play in the new Raiders stadium.
Foley could not be reached for comment, but Raiders owner Mark Davis did not discount the idea of the team’s 65,000-seat domed stadium, set to open in 2020, being home to the MLS.
“We have 365 days a year to fill in the stadium,” Davis said.
