Gov. Dan McKee on Friday had a meeting and tour at the Amica Mutual Pavilion to discuss the possibility of relocating the WNBA’s Connecticut Sun team to Providence, Target 12 has learned.
McKee’s office did not immediately comment on the substance of the tour or who participated. But a copy of McKee’s personal schedule confirmed he was at the AMP for a “meeting and tour” from 10 to 11:30 a.m. Friday. The schedule provided no further details about the meeting.
Multiple people familiar with the matter told Target 12 the governor met with an investor who’s interested in potentially purchasing and relocating the Sun to Providence. They declined to be identified because they were not authorized to discuss the matter.
The AMP – where the Providence College Friars and the Providence Bruins currently play home games – was temporary reconfigured as a basketball stadium for the tour, Target 12 has confirmed. The basketball floor and seating was being broken back down by a crew Friday afternoon following the tour.
