So what if Larry Miller was involved in stopping the Real Soccer Stadium. Ok, Ok, I know Miller has denied it, but if he had; what's the big deal? Wouldn't Checketts have done the same thing? This is business.
Would it be the end of the world if Real Salt Lake left? How many games have the won in their one + seasons here?
What about a move to Utah County? That land would be free, but my bet is it won't happen. (http://www.sltrib.com/ci_4046850)
What about a move to Rochester? (http://www.democratandchronicle.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060713/SPORTS05/607130354&SearchID=73250542642132) Go ahead Checketts. Don't threaten the people of Utah!
Why would Checketts support the use of the hotel tax in building the stadium? Because he hopes the politicians will go with that so they don't tax locals. But that is all wrong. Tourists aren't going to the Real games, it is the locals, albeit just a few of them.
Maybe the problem is the name of the club, what does REAL have to do with Utah? (Ok, that one is a joke, I know about REAL MADRID, but come on)

Someone correct me if I am wrong but I believe Miller did not get one cent of tax money for the Miller Motor Sports Park in Tooele County.
That is the way to do it.
