Billion-Dollar Stadium Project in Las Vegas on Track for Success

The owner of the Athletics, John Fisher, and his family plan to invest one billion dollars in the construction of a new stadium in Las Vegas. This major project is accompanied by a loan of 300 million dollars provided by U.S. Bank and Goldman Sachs. These details were recently revealed by Sandy Dean, a senior club manager, at a special meeting of the Las Vegas Stadium Authority. The planned 1.5 billion dollar stadium on the site of the former Tropicana Casino is set to feature a domed ballpark with 33,000 seats. Final approvals are expected to be granted at the Stadium Authority meeting on December 5. Dean emphasized to the board that they are on the right track and that increasing clarity will emerge in the coming months. Construction is scheduled to begin in the spring, with an opening before the 2028 season. In addition to private investments, the project will also be supported by up to 380 million dollars in public funds. In the interim, the A's will continue to play their games for at least three more years in West Sacramento, California.
