The Oakland Athletics are planning to build a new $1.5 billion ballpark on the Las Vegas Strip, specifically at the Tropicana site. The team is on a tight schedule to finalize agreements and secure financing for the construction. Owner John Fisher has been methodical in his approach, but questions are emerging about how he will finance the project. Notably, the non-relocation agreement includes a provision for 7 or 8 home games to be played away from the Vegas stadium for MLB neutral site events. John Fisher has written a letter to the Las Vegas stadium board addressing these issues.
