Billionaire's Son Leads Investor Group Offering to Acquire Vancouver Whitecaps and Relocate to Las Vegas
Grant Gustavson, son of billionaire Tamara Gustavson, is leading an investor group that has made a formal offer to acquire the Vancouver Whitecaps and relocate the team to Las Vegas. The 30-year-old Las Vegas resident's offer would need acceptance from Whitecaps owners and approval from the MLS Board of Governors. The Whitecaps have been for sale since December 2024, and despite conversations with over 100 parties, no viable offer to keep the team in Vancouver has emerged. MLS is exploring relocation options, with a Phoenix investor group also expressing interest.
