Soccer stadium funding hits a snag -> Deseret News/Leigh Dethman
"Given that the state has already used $35 million of Salt Lake County's transient room tax revenue for contribution to the soccer stadium project, I don't feel that it is in the best interest of the citizens for the county to contribute more revenue to the project," Corroon wrote in a letter Monday to Randy Sant, Sandy's economic development director.

RSL: RSL still can't figure out how to turn talent into wins -> Salt Lake Tribune/Steve Pastorino
"Virtually everyone close to RSL agrees that the players are more skilled, younger and deeper than in the past. Unfortunately, for the third consecutive year, RSL's upgrades haven't been enough to keep pace with the rest of the league."

Real Salt Lake stadium: S.L. County to halt contributions -> Salt Lake Tribune/Rosemary Winters
"Salt Lake County won't be kicking in any more money toward Real Salt Lake's soccer stadium. Sandy, banking on participation from the county and other taxing entities, has pledged up to a $10 million property-tax rebate for the $110 million project at 9256 S. State St."

Stadium update -> DesNews Blog/James Edward
"I swung by RSL's Sandy stadium late Monday afternoon to get a quick update about the construction progress, and I thought I'd relay some information. I spoke with Elliott from Icon Construction and he informed me that the project is about 65 to 67 percent done. It's been about a month since I've visited the stadium, and the progress is incredible."
