Nevada Legislature Considers Financing for Las Vegas MLB Stadium

The public will have a chance to give their opinion on the Oakland Athletics' proposed stadium funding bill, Senate Bill 509, which would give the team $380 million in public funding. The bill will be heard during a joint meeting of the Senate Committee on Finance and the Assembly Committee on Ways and Means and will be livestreamed on the Nevada Legislature's website. The A's want to build a $1.5 billion, 30,000-seat stadium on the current site of the Tropicana Las Vegas hotel. Currently, the A's have the worst record and lowest attendance in Major League Baseball.
