The state of Nevada and the Oakland Athletics have reached a tentative agreement for the construction of a new ballpark in Las Vegas. This agreement marks a major milestone in the effort to bring Major League Baseball to Nevada.
The agreement was reached after months of negotiations between Nevada legislative leaders and the A’s. The two sides had been discussing the details of the proposed ballpark, including its location, funding, and other important aspects.
The new ballpark will be located in downtown Las Vegas, near the city’s existing sports and entertainment district. It will be a multi-purpose facility, capable of hosting baseball, concerts, and other events. The A’s are expected to contribute $200 million towards the construction of the ballpark, with the remainder of the cost being covered by public funds.
The agreement also includes provisions for the A’s to contribute to the local economy through job creation, community engagement, and charitable giving. The team will also be responsible for maintaining the ballpark and paying for any necessary repairs or upgrades.
The agreement is expected to be finalized in the coming weeks. Once it is finalized, the A’s will be able to begin construction on the new ballpark, with an estimated opening date of 2022.
This agreement marks a major step forward in bringing Major League Baseball to Nevada. It is a testament to the hard work and dedication of both Nevada legislative leaders and the A’s organization. With this agreement in place, Nevada is one step closer to becoming home to a Major League Baseball team.
