The Golden Knights acknowledged Wednesday that the NHL franchise is pursuing a Major League Soccer franchise.
“We are exploring the possibility of bringing a Major League Soccer franchise to Las Vegas. We do not have any additional comments at this time,” the team said in statement released Wednesday morning.
On Tuesday night, the Review-Journal reported that 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.
A third source told the Review-Journal that Foley could potentially partner with another party — not the Raiders — on the MLS deal.
