The Oakland Athletics have signed a pair of “binding” agreements to purchase land at two different locations for a new stadium in Las Vegas. However, they have not yet presented a proposal for state lawmakers to account for the public financing package that would be necessary. However, they may have moved a step closer to doing just that.
A new report from Tabitha Mueller and Howard Stutz of the Nevada Independent suggests that the A’s and major state officials have reached a loose agreement for public funding for a new stadium. The A’s were initially pursuing $500 million but this report states that the public contribution would be less than $195 million.
