Oakland Athletics managing owner Lew Wolff and majority owner John Fisher should not stop looking at other Oakland sites, however.
On Thursday, Oakland Raiders owner Mark Davis presented a plan to the Southern Nevada Tourism Infrastructure Committee for a $1.4 billion retractable roof stadium to be built in Las Vegas that could be used by both the Raiders and the UNLV Runnin' Rebels football team. The proposal includes $650 million in private funding and $750 million in public funds paid with an increase in tourism taxes, according to the Las Vegas Sun. $500 million would come from the Raiders, including a $200 million NFL loan, while $150 million would be paid by hotel-casino magnate Sheldon Adelson.
