stadium is no guarantee yet or even a move, it could still be blocked but yeah the spot is ready for a new tenant.
Sad that the Trop is going, legendary mob casino. Go to vegas twice a year and always love seeing it. The city used to be Sahara, Sands, Trop, STARDUST…but as with all things the city evolved from it’s mob past into a corporate Disneyland for adults. And that’s fine with me too!
Lol where is that 850 m coming from.
« In July, the Athletic’s’ executives said the stadium would be financed in three parts. Nevada taxpayers would pay about $350 million, debt financing would contribute another $300 million, and Fisher would pay the remaining $850 million.
That’s true as far as it goes, but A’s board member Sandy Dean’s testimony at the time was incredibly nonspecific about where Fisher’s $850 million would come from, beyond saying that A’s owner John Fisher was in “good shape” raising money and that “it would be a positive to have outside investors” «

Still doesn’t make any sense why they want to move to Las Vegas. The Raiders games are 80% opposing fans. It’s gonna be the same thing for baseball and probably worse
