According to the NLL, the team will be owned by Joe Tsai, whomever that might be.<\/p>\n
The Las Vegas lacrosse team will be the NLL’s fifteenth franchise.<\/p>\n
It’s estimated Tsai paid about $10 million for the expansion team.<\/p>\n
There’s been no announcement of where the team might play, but we predict it will be a venue featuring lots of empty seats.<\/p>\n
We get the feeling this is sort of a downtown thing, possibly wherever the Las Vegas Lights soccer team plays. Cashman Field. Maybe Orleans Arena?<\/p>\n
