Nevada Gov. Joe Lombardo has signed into law a $380 million public financing package to help build a stadium for the Oakland Athletics on the Las Vegas Strip. He did so a day after the Democrat-controlled legislature approved the plans.
Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred outlined the review process of the A’s proposed relocation during a news conference hours earlier at a meeting of owners in New York. With a capacity of 30,000, the stadium would be MLB’s smallest.
“We will now begin the process with MLB to apply for relocation to Las Vegas,” the statement said. “We are excited about Southern Nevada’s dynamic and vibrant professional sports scene, and we look forward to becoming a valued community member through jobs, economic development, and the quality of life and civic pride of a Major League Baseball team.”
Opposition came from both sides of the aisle, especially in northern and rural Nevada several hundreds of miles away from Las Vegas.
