Pro soccer may be headed to Reno

Professional soccer could be coming to Reno if negotiations between the United Soccer League and Aces Baseball owner Herb Simon continue to go well, the president of the Reno Aces confirmed Monday night.
Aces President Eric Edelstein said a franchise deal with the United Soccer League has not been finalized, despite what unnamed sources told a national pro soccer blogger.
“We don’t have a franchise at this moment,” Edelstein said. “We have been in talks for some time and we are actively pursuing a franchise that, if awarded, would play at Aces Ballpark and would be owned by Herb Simon.”
