The Oakland A’s are stranded on third base for the time being after the Nevada legislature passed on a bill to provided $380 million in public funding for a new ballpark on the Las Vegas Strip.
The legislative spotlight Monday night was meant for the Oakland Athletics, but it was the Vegas Golden Knights, vying to advance to the Stanley Cup Finals, that garnered the positive vibes in Carson City.
The A’s organization has been busy for months in Carson City, lobbying politicians for support to build a 30,000-seat, $1.5 billion stadium with a retractable roof on the famed Las Vegas Strip.
