Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey Offers Up His State As Possible Location For Major League Sports

On Tuesday, Arizona Governor Doug Ducey (R) raised the possibility of bringing major-league sports back to the state. 

As the state is beginning to reopen, Ducey noted that all four major American sports could return as soon as next week. Ducey said on social media that the state is “trending in the right direction.”

The  governor has mentioned that he has had some conversations with “leaders of some of these leagues.” In April, Ducey admitted to having open lines of communication with MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred and told him he was open to hosting baseball games in Arizona if need be. 

Most major league sports have considered playing the remainder of their games in a hub, where all organizations and players would be in one location.

“It would be at this point in time, according to the CDC guidelines, without fans… We could do that safely in the state of Arizona beginning May 16,” Ducey said.
