The Oakland Athletics have released the first official images showing what their new home in Las Vegas might look like.<\/p>\n

This is what the Las Vegas Athletics\u2019 $1.5 billion baseball stadium could look like. The plan is to build the 30,000-seat ballpark on 9 acres of the 35-acre site on which Tropicana has sat since 1957. (Image: Athletics)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The images show the $1.5 billion ballpark constructed on the site of the Tropicana Las Vegas Resort Casino — as has been assumed since the A\u2019s reportedly broke off negotiations to build it on Red Rock Resorts\u2019 former Wild Wild West site earlier this month.<\/p>\n

We are excited to share our vision for the A\u2019s potential new home,” A\u2019s president Dave Kaval said in a news release. “As our first conceptual design, we will continue to refine the look and feel of the ballpark over the next year.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Kaval continued: \u201cWe hope our project goes beyond a traditional ballpark and serves as a catalyst for community development and engagement. It follows in the footsteps and success of the professional sports teams that come before us in creating union jobs, stimulating economic growth, and fostering investments in the community.\u201d<\/p>\n

Union Pressure<\/h2>\n

Kaval’s mention of union jobs is significant. It has been reported that the A\u2019s broke off negotiations with Red Rock Resorts partly because of pressure from the powerful Culinary Workers Union Local 226, whose relationship with Red Rock is historically bad — since not all the casino company\u2019s properties are unionized — and only worsening. <\/span><\/p>\n

On Thursday, the union launched a website, WllWhiteAllMale.org, attacking Red Rock for having the only non-inclusive board among publicly traded Nevada gaming companies.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cFrom the minute we stepped onto the Tropicana site nearly two years ago, it was immediately obvious what a fantastic fit it would be for a new A\u2019s ballpark in Las Vegas,\u201d Brad Schrock, the A\u2019s director of design and owner of Schrock KC Architecture, said in the A\u2019s press release.<\/p>\n

According to the release, the ballpark will \u201cbe a hub for sports, entertainment, and community engagement, hosting A\u2019s games along with a diverse range of events, concerts, and community gatherings.\u201d<\/p>\n

The structure will feature \u201cinnovative architecture, sustainability and environmental consciousness, and modern amenities that focus on the peak of excellence in fan experience.\u201d<\/p>\n

Waiting on the Government<\/h2>\n

On Thursday, the A\u2019s announced a tentative agreement<\/a> with Nevada Governor Joe Lombardo, Nevada State Treasurer Zach Conine, and Clark County officials to introduce a bill detailing a plan for public financing to be considered by the Nevada Legislature.<\/p>\n

According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal,<\/em> up to $380 million in public financing will help pay for the stadium. This includes $180 million from the state and $145 million from Clark County. According to the newspaper, $90 million of Nevada\u2019s contribution would be paid back via tax revenues generated on the stadium site, while $120 million of the county\u2019s money would come from the tax district.<\/p>\n

That bill is expected to be introduced on Saturday. However, the threat of a special legislative session looms if lawmakers can\u2019t agree on the stadium\u2019s public financing terms by June 5.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
