The Oakland A’s are closing in on a binding agreement to construct a $1 billion baseball stadium north of Allegiant Stadium with the support of Gov. Joe Lombardo and top lawmakers in a deal that will not involve new taxes, multiple sources confirmed to The Nevada Independent on Wednesday.
According to sources who spoke on the condition of anonymity, the A’s will cover the costs for the 30,000-to-35,000-seat retractable-roof stadium to house the Major League Baseball franchise on a nearly 100-acre site near Tropicana Boulevard and Interstate 15. The As would have to purchase the land from Red Rock Resorts.
A spokeswoman for the A’s confirmed the deal to the Independent Wednesday evening, saying the team is buying 49 acres of the site.
