Professional soccer in Syracuse, which had a two-season fling here before dying a sudden death in October, could be back in 2006.
The Monolith Athletic Club will announce today that it is negotiating with the United Soccer Leagues to bring pro soccer back to Syracuse.
Monolith AC is an offshoot of a company called The Marcellus Group formed recently by Manhattan millionaire Vito William Lucchetti Jr. to buy and restore properties in Marcellus. The soccer club is headed by executive vice president Allen LaVenture, who formerly directed sales and marketing for the Syracuse Salty Dogs.
