$150M Problem Restricts Caitlin Clark’s Retirement Plan as She Discloses Her Major Goal in Time Interview

Although Caitlin Clark has just finished her groundbreaking rookie season, it seems like she already has her retirement plans in place. CC has ambitious dreams that will keep her connected to the sports world. After being named Athlete of the Year, the young star took a moment to discuss her future vision. However, there could be a significant obstacle in her way.

“I love basketball,” she mentioned in a recent interview with TIME, “and hopefully, after my basketball career ends, I can discover other passions to pursue. Hopefully, I’ll become a sports team owner one day.” But basketball isn’t the only thing on her radar.

We know she is already expanding her horizons beyond basketball, with one of her main goals being to invest in women’s sports. “The value is only increasing,” she noted, referring to the rising importance and popularity of women’s sports. Based on her recent activities, it seems that soccer is one area that she is interested in.

With the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) preparing for expansion to 16 teams, several cities are vying for a spot, including Cincinnati. The city’s ownership group has made headlines with the addition of Caitlin Clark, but there are challenges ahead.

Cleveland is a strong competitor, presenting a challenging proposal. They have secured a prime 13.6-acre site near Progressive Field for a $150 million stadium project. The stadium is designed to accommodate 12,500 fans initially, with potential for expansion to 20,000. While Cincinnati has the advantage of an existing stadium, TQL Stadium, Cleveland’s significant investment could pose a challenge for Clark and her team to secure the final spot.
