The A’s have been close to leaving town before. What are the hurdles left before they can make their exit official this time?
The A’s took their biggest step yet toward realizing their long-explored departure from Oakland in a stunning late-night announcement that broke the hearts of their fans and knocked the city’s leaders on their heels.
Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao speaks during a press conference at City Hall in Oakland, Calif., on April 20, 2023. The Oakland A’s have agreed to buy land in Las Vegas and build a new stadium there, team officials confirmed Wednesday. While the A’s will now work with Nevada and Clark County on the public-private partnership for stadium funding, the fact remains there’s not yet a deal. The A’s are reportedly seeking $500 million in tax credits toward the construction of the ballpark. Once a land deal and ballpark financing are completed, there will be more steps in the process of leaving Oakland.
Even with the land purchase, he has unanswered questions about how the new stadium will affect year-round Las Vegas residents.
