The Oakland Athletics will need extra innings to get their Las Vegas stadium funding bill passed by Nevada lawmakers.

The Legislature adjourned just after midnight without passing Senate Bill 509.

The Legislature now will have to meet in special session to consider public financing for the stadium plan. Either Gov. Joe Lombardo can issue a proclamation, or the Legislature — with the signatures of two-thirds of its members — can convene a session.

SB509 would have earmarked up to $380 million in public funds for the construction of the A’s planned 30,000-seat, $1.5 billion Strip ballpark on the site of the Tropicana Las Vegas resort.
