The Oakland Athletics are considering hiring an investment firm to assist team owner John Fisher in securing financing for construction of their planned Strip ballpark.
The Oakland Athletics’ former Coliseum co-tenant laid the blueprint for how to move a pro sports team to Southern Nevada.
The A’s are in talks to include some of the Neon Museum’s vintage Las Vegas resort signs in-and-around their Strip stadium, scheduled to be built on 9 acres of the 35-acre Trop site.
Las Vegas Mayor Carolyn Goodman went viral after comments she made during an interview suggesting that she wished the A’s could work out a deal to stay in the Bay Area.
“Luckily we make more money with one exhibition soccer game at the Coliseum than we do throughout the entire A’s season,” Leigh Hanson, Mayor Sheng Thao’s chief of staff, said.
With design work still ongoing, Oakland Athletics owner John Fisher didn’t reveal specifics about what the planned ballpark would include.
