Chuck Greenberg, who's reportedly in the market to purchase the Carolina Hurricanes, spent some time Monday checking out the team's practice facility as part of a fact-finding trip, according to Chip Alexander of the News & Observer.

On July 13, Bloomberg News reported Greenberg was close to purchasing the club for approximately $500 million in a deal that would keep the team in North Carolina. The Hurricanes later confirmed owner Peter Karmanos Jr. is indeed considering an offer to sell.

Alexander added Greenberg would not discuss the details of his visit, nor comment on the reported sale. The potential ownership group, however, is believed to include local investors.

Greenberg is the former CEO of the Texas Rangers and remains involved in the ownership of three minor-league baseball teams.
