If the Oakland Athletics aren’t able to strike a deal to land a new ballpark in Northern California and find their way to Las Vegas they could play in Southern Nevada even before a new stadium is built in the area.
While the Oakland Athletics’ quest to land a new waterfront ballpark in the Bay Area continues, team brass are set for their third trip to Las Vegas.
The list of possible sites for a Major League Baseball ballpark in the Las Vegas Valley ballooned to well over 20 during a two-day visit for the Oakland Athletics ownership group.
The focus of this week’s trip to Las Vegas, led by Oakland Athletics owner John Fisher and team president Dave Kaval, is stadium location.
The A’s brass will be in Southern Nevada on June 21-22, for a more site-specific trip than their visit last month, a source with knowledge of the plans told the Review-Journal.
A’s President Dave Kaval said all potential stadium sites they toured in Southern Nevada are still under consideration after being presented to the MLB owners in New York.
The A’s interest in Las Vegas isn’t the first time the city has been mentioned as the home of an MLB team. The city made a strong push in 2004 to get the Montreal Expos.
