The Oakland Athletics can proceed with plans for their proposed Las Vegas ballpark without worrying that Nevada voters might repeal $380 million in public funding before the team could start construction, based on a Nevada Supreme Court ruling issued Monday.
The A’s have yet to reveal a plan to finance the balance of the estimated $1.5-billion construction cost, but they hope to put a shovel in the ground in the spring of 2025. A Nevada teachers’ union had hoped to put a referendum on the November 2024 ballot, asking voters whether to approve or reject the public funding.
