The financing plan covering a $1.5 billion baseball stadium on the Strip “is in place,” according to sources close to the Oakland Athletics, but any public discussion of funding will wait until December.
The Las Vegas Stadium Authority board is expected to finalize at its meeting Thursday three of the four contractual agreements required for the relocation of the Major League Baseball team to Las Vegas.
But that’s not to say the funding for the ballpark has been put aside. In December, the A’s are expected to provide written confirmation of the financing for the ballpark, according to a team source. The financing needs to be in place before construction can begin on the ballpark.
