The Oakland A’s spent nearly two years identifying a location for a $1.5 billion stadium and entertainment complex in Las Vegas. But now the team and state lawmakers have a month and a half window before the legislative session ends to hammer out details of a $500 million public financing contribution toward a 35,000-seat retractable roof ballpark near Tropicana Avenue and Interstate 15.
Though there is a rough outline of a proposal for the potential relocation of the A’s to Las Vegas, no formal legislation has been introduced or requested, and state lawmakers have not received specifics or made any commitment to support the project.
