twitterLas Vegas out of hunt for Grizzlies
Tuesday, March 6, 2001 | 10:46 a.m.
The Louisiana governor's top aide said Monday that New Orleans is one of two remaining candidates trying to land the Vancouver Grizzlies.
"We are in the final two," Steve Perry, chief of staff for Gov. Mike Foster, said during remarks to the Press Club of Baton Rouge.
Perry, who has been involved in the state's negotiations, did not elaborate or discuss why other cities apparently have been eliminated.
He said Anaheim, Calif., was the other city still in the hunt for the Grizzlies, who have been given permission to relocate after heavy financial losses in Canada.
Las Vegas has been mentioned as a candidate to land the Grizzlies.
