MLB would definitely be my top pick of all the leagues to expand here. I really miss going to games in Chicago.
Broadmoor might be a good place to put a stadium, but the Statesman site would be even better. I'm afraid that ship might have already sailed though. Somewhere on East Riverside might work also. Any way you slice it, the stadium will have to be near a rail stop.

Perhaps the State and UT would lease a portion of their 475 acres at The J. J. Pickle Research Campus like the city did with Austin FC to build a privately funded stadium. That land has become extremely valuable and the State and UT could make a pretty penny. Never say never right! Fun to speculate.
