In a move that could have serious financial implications on the Oakland Athletics' move to Las Vegas, the American League West team is requesting to play up to eight home games a season in neutral locations away from the future new ballpark.
Howard Stutz of the Nevada Independent reported as much this week and noted the request was part of the proposed 30-year non-relocation agreement that will be voted on by the Las Vegas Stadium Authority Board on July 18.
That is more than double the three most recent non-relocations agreements in Major League Baseball.
