Aurora launch ownership drive seeking 7,000 more investors

The USL W League club Minnesota Aurora is looking for 7,000 more owners to “keep their current franchise going” after it pulled out of the running to be an NWSL expansion team , according to Jon Marthaler of the MINNESOTA STAR TRIBUNE. The club launched a new “community ownership drive” Thursday, one intended “less as a quest for something greater, and more as an effort to simply keep things running.” The Aurora raised $1M from 3,080 owners in their “first go-round” in 2021, which “funded the first three years of the club.” Their goal this time around is “even bigger: 10,000 owners, for the Land of 10,000 Lakes.” ( MINNESOTA STAR TRIBUNE, 8/30 ).
