The Oakland Athletics' proposed $1.5 billion stadium in Las Vegas is facing scrutiny over its location, design, and funding. Questions arise about who will finance the stadium, as the location at the Tropicana site is also planned for a resort development by Bally's Corp., which has stated there is no urgency in developing the resort plans. Additionally, Tropicana officials are seeking to keep their gaming license active during the development. Concurrently, the A's are dealing with legal challenges regarding the purchase of Alameda County's half-interest in the Coliseum site, with a lawsuit set to be heard on September 24 that could jeopardize the sale.
