That mission has been at the core of everything MSSG has done: from the original purchase of the Tucson Padres and moving the team to El Paso, to the public – private partnership that facilitated the construction of Southwest University Park in Downtown El Paso, to the investment in bringing a USL Champions team to a U.S./Mexico border, and the purchase of a LigaMX futbol club and relocating it to Juarez, MX.
