Cubs owner Tom Ricketts agrees to buy new Chicago-based soccer team
Cubs owner Tom Ricketts has agreed to become the majority owner of an expansion United Soccer League team based in Chicago, real estate developer and co-owner Sterling Bay announced Wednesday. The team hopes to play in a planned 20,000-seat stadium to be built at a site near the Chicago River in Lincoln Yards.
Sterling Bay purchased an expansion team from the USL for a reported $5 million last November with plans to build a state-of-the-art facility as part of a 70-acre mixed-use development project. Ricketts, who signed a letter of intent to purchase the majority of the team, would own two-thirds of the franchise once the deal goes through, according to Crain’s Chicago Business.
