Oakland A's and Nevada leaders reach tentative agreement on Las Vegas ballpark.
TL;DR
The Oakland Athletics and Nevada leaders have reached a tentative agreement for a stadium funding plan for a $1.5 billion Las Vegas ballpark. The agreement indicates a funding bill will be introduced in the Nevada Legislature in the coming days, giving lawmakers less than two weeks to consider it before the session ends. The financing isn’t a sure thing either. The announcement is on the heels of the Oakland Athletics’ agreement to use land on the southern end of the Las Vegas Strip where the Tropicana Las Vegas casino resort sits.
