Oakland A’s Pick a New Stadium Location Just Off the Las Vegas Strip

The Oakland Athletics agreed to locate their new baseball stadium on land just behind the Tropicana resort on the Las Vegas Strip, according to a statement from Bally’s Corp., which controls the property.

The move is subject to approval from the league and would require legislation in Nevada to provide public funding, according to the company. The team, which is leaving Oakland after failing to reach a new deal for a property there, has discussed building a new $1.5 billion stadium in Las Vegas.
