Albuquerque mayor rallies for new stadium for United team

  ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — With the backing of Albuquerque’s mayor, the New Mexico United soccer team may be one step closer to making a new stadium a reality. Mayor Tim Keller announced he will send a resolution to the Albuquerque City Council to put a bond proposal for a new publicly funded stadium on the November ballot. Keller, along with team owner Peter Trevisani, shared the news over the weekend during a team match. The proposed stadium would serve as a venue for multiple events but New Mexico United would be the primary tenant. The project is estimated to cost at least $70 million. Voters would be asked to consider a $50 million bond.
