Early talks have been had regarding the National Finals Rodeo moving to the Oakland Athletics’ planned Las Vegas $1.5 billion ballpark after its 2028 completion.
Tim Keener, president of Las Vegas Events, said he’s had several preliminary discussions with the A’s and the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority regarding the NFR moving down Tropicana Avenue from UNLV’s Thomas & Mack Center to the A’s future stadium.
“Which included learning about the early stages of the stadium design,” Keener said Tuesday in an emailed statement. “We certainly wish the A’s success in developing an exciting stadium design for the destination and look forward to seeing the completed renderings and overall footprint and layout.”
