The Oakland Athletics are set to play out their lease at the Oakland Coliseum through next season and have multiple possible temporary sites available thereafter.
The governor’s signature on the legislation ends a lengthy process in which the A’s sought to move from their longtime home in the Bay Area.
The Nevada Senate Tuesday voted 13-8 to approve $380 million in public financing for a baseball stadium in Las Vegas that’s planned to house the relocated Oakland A’s.
The Legislature has adjourned until Monday, after the Senate on Thursday failed to take action on the Oakland A’s stadium proposal that is the subject of the current special session.
State senators peppered supporters of the Oakland A’s stadium project with questions during a hearing in a special session. A vote could come Thursday.
Despite the team’s lease at the Oakland Coliseum being up after next season, the Athletics would still owe the city $45 million before it could make any move.
