No pro teams. A couple semi pro/minor league teams. Our mayor, the former
mob attorney, has been trying to get a pro team here for years. One of the
problems is our legal sports gambling. The leagues keep insisting on
restrictions on gambling on local teams, but the casinos are under no
obligation to cooperate.
One of the major tourist and convention destinations in the world could
certainly support a pro team. Although we do need to build a new sports
stadium. I think we "may" have the expertise to do so.
