The Utah legislature approved funding for a new soccer stadium for the Real that provided $35 million in hotel taxes for land, parking and infrastructure for the 20,000-seat venue. The Salt Lake suburb of Sandy committed another $15 million toward an expanded project, which includes a hotel and broadcast center. The team will provide $7.5 million in funding for a youth sports complex in northwest Salt Lake City, along with an elite sports academy. (Facilities, Financial, Professional Sports, Venue)
