Description:
Real Salt Lake joined MLS in 2005 alongside Chivas USA in the league's second wave of expansion. With only one other major professional team in a rapidly-growing city, RSL have done reasonably well at the gate. The club adopted the name Real based on a working partnership it has had with Real Madrid since the club's inception. The club colors represent the passion of the fans (red), the surrounding mountains and lakes (blue) and gold (royalty). The club logo incorporates those colors and has a crown at its top, symbolizing the Real (royal) part of the name. The winner of the season series with arch-rivals Colorado Rapids is awarded the Rocky Mountain Cup. The club is owned by SCP, one of whose prominent members is Dave Checketts, a longtime NBA executive. Real Salt Lake currently use the stadium of the University of Utah football team. They have had a protracted battle to build a new stadium but have finally found a site in suburban Sandy, Utah and work has begun with plans for completion towards the end of the 2008 season.
