Happy Thursday everyone! The weekend is once again within reach. Hang in there.
The Athletics announced earlier in the week that their planned Las Vegas stadium is going to be more expensive that originally thought. Considering who runs the team it’s not at all surprising to see the price tag going up by hundreds of millions of dollars, all before a shovel is even in the ground and funding is still yet to be officially and finally secured.
The price of the Las Vegas Athletics stadium has skyrocketed to $1.75 billion — a quarter billion dollars more than originally estimated — due to inflation and "the addition of 70,000 square feet of ballpark features," per the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
