Las Vegas City Council Approves Lease for New Minor League Soccer Team at Cashman Field in 2018
By ALAN SNEL
It may not be the Big Leagues of professional soccer, but Las Vegas Mayor Carolyn Goodman was still happy Wednesday to have a minor league soccer team in downtown's Cashman Field starting in 2018.
"We've been looking at this for three, four years," Goodman said of the city trying to get a soccer team. "We know the appetite is there."
The Las Vegas City Council today approved a lease that will allow a new United Soccer League (USL) team to start playing at Cashman Field in 2018. The Las Vegas USL team will be the 33rd team in the league and can be a feeder team to Major League Soccer.
"This town will embrace professional soccer," USL team owner Brett Lashbrook told the Las Vegas City Council. Technic
