Nevada has gained several new sports venues over the last decade, and more are coming. But how many more?
While the Athletics’ baseball stadium has already begun to rise above the Strip, it’s still uncertain if Las Vegas will gain an additional arena for its expected NBA expansion team. It’s possible the team could be worked into the T-Mobile Arena calendar, though arena co-owner Bill Foley says hundreds of millions of dollars need to be spent on renovations if that happens.
Several new arena proposals have been floated over the years, but LVSportsBiz publisher Alan Snel told KNPR’s State of Nevada that he likes one plan in particular.
“My thought is about this Diamond Arena project, which is across from the Mandalay Bay,” Snell said. “It’s on the Strip. Keep in mind that sports is very associated closely with tourism. It would be accessible to people on the Strip.”
