Jon Huntsman and the slate Legislature put together a lastminute deal to get the funding and keep RSL in Utah. And the fight may not quite be over. Opponents have until Monday to gather almost 92,000 signatures of registered voters to get a referendum against the public funding on the November ballot. RSL is still going ahead with the construction and has started a marketing campaign, including full-page newspaper ads, touting the public investment. 'We're creating an asset on this land that is going to generate significant amounts of taxes, and taxes thai go back to the schools," Checketts said during a tour of the stadium site Thursday. Checketts held a ceremonial groundbreaking in August with soccer superstar David Beckham, but the funding negotiations unraveled and no actual construction took place. Checketts also said beer will be sold at the stadium in the suburb about 15 miles south of downtown. He said there is also interest from a developer in creating a shopping and dining district around the stadium.
