A top executive with the real estate investment trust that owns the 35-acre Tropicana Las Vegas site said “there’s not a lot of margin for error” on the development of a planned $1.5 billion stadium to bring the Oakland Athletics to Las Vegas.
Brandon Moore, COO of Gaming and Leisure Properties (GLPI) said during his company’s second-quarter earnings conference call on Friday that the team’s relocation has to be approved by Major League Baseball before work can begin on the south Strip site.
The A’s have said the team would finish the stadium construction in time for the start of the 2028 season, but a vote on a relocation process has to be completed by Jan. 1 — or else the move to Las Vegas could be off the table.
