The owner of the Tropicana land where the Oakland Athletics plan to build a Major League Baseball stadium says the project is moving at a rapid pace, even though the team hasn’t officially received permission to relocate to Las Vegas.
Peter Carlino, CEO of Gaming and Leisure Properties Inc., the real estate investment trust that owns the Tropicana land, also said his company executives are confident that the 9 acres designated for the stadium project would be enough to accommodate the plan the property’s operator, Bally’s Corp., has worked out with the baseball team.
Carlino made his remarks Friday in a conference call with investors on the company’s second-quarter earnings.
