Boston Celtics Minority Owner Plans $325 Million Acquisition to Relocate Connecticut Sun to Boston

Boston Celtics minority owner Steve Pagliuca has led a consortium in acquiring the Connecticut Sun for a record-breaking $325 million, with plans to relocate the team to Boston. However, the WNBA has expressed reservations about the move, emphasizing that team relocations are determined by the league's Board of Governors and that Boston was not part of the recent expansion considerations. Despite the league's hesitations, Pagliuca and his partner Bill Chisholm are determined to bring the Sun to Boston. Pagliuca has even committed $100 million towards constructing a state-of-the-art training facility to enhance the team's infrastructure. Sources indicate that team officials believe relocating to Boston would benefit the players by allowing them to compete in a major market and utilize top-tier venues like TD Garden. The proposed move could happen as early as 2027, making this a developing story worth following.
