Athletics Las Vegas Stadium Legislation Proposes $380M in Public Money

A bill introduced Friday to the Nevada legislature proposed $380 million in public funding toward a new stadium for the Oakland Athletics in Las Vegas.

According to Gabe Stern of the Associated Press, the proposal includes $180 million in transferable tax credits from the state, $120 million in county bonds and $25 million in credit from Clark County for a 30,000 seat, $1.5 billion retractable roof stadium.

With the Athletics unable to reach an agreement to build a new ballpark in Oakland, they announced in April that they had purchased land on the Las Vegas strip with the intention of relocating the team.
