Submitted by webadmin on

The Pittsburgh Riverhounds professional soccer team, along with the South Side stadium where it plays, will be out of bankruptcy by the end of the year, a federal judge decided, the Trib Total Media reported on Friday. Terrance C. "Tuffy" Shallenberger, the majority owner of both companies that own the team and stadium, said that the ruling clears the way for the Riverhounds to put together a team for next season. Hon. Jeffery A. Deller approved reorganization plans that will transfer ownership of the team and stadium to new companies that Shallenberger will form Dec. 30. Pittsburgh Pro Soccer LLC will own the team, and City View Event Center LLC will own the stadium.
