Las Vegas Stadium Authority’s chairman said the Athletics should break ground on their $1.75 billion Las Vegas Strip ballpark in June, keeping the project on track for a 2028 debut.
With the A’s ballpark process following a blueprint of sorts from the Raiders and the buildup to Allegiant Stadium construction, the lead up to an A’s stadium groundbreaking ceremony could follow a path similar to that of the Silver and Black, stadium authority chairman Steve Hill said.
The Raiders saw the County Commission approve their zoning and land use permits for Allegiant Stadium on Sept. 6, 2017. The groundbreaking ceremony at the 62-acre Allegiant Stadium site was then held on Nov. 13, 2017. There was a 68-day gap between the county approvals and the Raiders starting work on the $2 billion stadium.
