Working around an existing major transportation hub while trying to incorporate a new point of access is the challenge facing the Oakland Athletics as they design their Las Vegas ballpark.

As noted during the A’s presentation to the Legislature, the ballpark is going to rely heavily on fans walking to the stadium from nearby resorts. But Elon Musk’s Boring Company Vegas Loop could also be a key element to the transportation plan.

The underground transportation system that moves passengers via Tesla model vehicles will include 81 stations and 68 miles of tunnels linking various parts of the Strip (including the Trop site), downtown Las Vegas, Allegiant Stadium, UNLV and eventually Harry Reid International Airport.
