The Oakland A’s are one step closer to moving to Las Vegas after the team joined Nevada’s governor and other local and state officials in unveiling a tentative agreement to finance a proposed $1.5 billion ballpark for the Major League Baseball club.
The announcement follows extended talks over how much the state would contribute to a new home for the A’s. As part of the proposal, Las Vegas will create a Sports and Entertainment Improvement District around the planned 30,000-seat, retractable-roof venue located along the Strip.
