However, not every question was left unanswered. Inadvertently highlighting the plethora of unanswered questions surrounding the ballpark, the PowerPoint presentation of the evening used an out-of-date rendering as its cover image - a rendering the team itself has described as “obsolete.”
For example, it’s still unclear how the team plans to fund its share of the construction costs, and it still doesn’t have a realistic idea of what the stadium is actually going to look like. From the beginning, the Oakland A’s attempt to relocate to Las Vegas has been a cavalcade of mismanagement, public relations disasters and political cronyism - and there’s little evidence anything is going to change as the project moves forward.ĭetails from the Las Vegas Stadium Authority’s board meeting last week have done little to reassure skeptics that throwing tax dollars at a private stadium is a worthy public investment.
