If the Oakland Athletics’ planned Las Vegas ballpark needs more than the 9 acres of land allotted to them to accommodate a retractable roof, they could be in luck. If additional land is needed, that could be provided, Bally’s Chairman Soo Kim said Friday.
“I do believe we have some language that allows for supports for a roof if necessary beyond the above (acreage),” Kim told the Review-Journal.
The A’s initial stadium plans include a $1.5 billion, 30,000-seat ballpark that would include some form of retractable roof.
Bally’s Corp., which owns the Tropicana, and Gaming and Leisure Properties, which owns the land where the stadium would be situated, agreed to provide the A’s 9 acres of land free of charge.
