If the Oakland Athletics’ market feasibility study is any indicator, Las Vegas would be a big hit on the Major League Baseball scene.

The Oakland Athletics reportedly have their sights set on Tropicana hotel site to build a potential ballpark on the Las Vegas Strip.
The Howard Hughes Corp. — which owns the A’s Triple-A affiliate, the Las Vegas Aviators, and their home, the Las Vegas Ballpark — says it is willing to provide the Major League Baseball team land in Summerlin, at no charge.
The Oakland Athletics have put in an offer on a plot of land in the Las Vegas Valley where they could be interested in building a $1 billion ballpark, team president Dave Kaval said.
Following the Oakland Athletics disagreeing with the city council’s term sheet July 20 for the proposed Howard Terminal ballpark site the two sides are in talks trying to smooth out the team’s issues.
Oakland Athletics’ President Dave Kaval and crew toured various sites mainly around the Resort Corridor and Summerlin on their latest trip, getting a new feel for the sites with an architect along for the trip.
Despite ongoing talks, there’s still big gaps in off site infrastructure and community benefits aspects between the A’s and city of Oakland’s proposals.
As an important vote looms on a proposed waterfront ballpark, Oakland A’s fans are hoping for the best as they don’t want to lose the area’s only remaining pro sports team.
Oakland Athletics President Dave Kaval said momentum in Southern Nevada is building as the team explores possible relocation to the area.
If the Oakland Athletics aren’t able to strike a deal to land a new ballpark in Northern California and find their way to Las Vegas they could play in Southern Nevada even before a new stadium is built in the area.
While the Oakland Athletics’ quest to land a new waterfront ballpark in the Bay Area continues, team brass are set for their third trip to Las Vegas.
The list of possible sites for a Major League Baseball ballpark in the Las Vegas Valley ballooned to well over 20 during a two-day visit for the Oakland Athletics ownership group.
The focus of this week’s trip to Las Vegas, led by Oakland Athletics owner John Fisher and team president Dave Kaval, is stadium location.
A’s President Dave Kaval said all potential stadium sites they toured in Southern Nevada are still under consideration after being presented to the MLB owners in New York.
