Plenty of hurdles remain for the A’s in Vegas.
Per the report, MGM chief executive officer Bill Hornbuckle said on Tuesday’s fourth-quarter earnings call that he’s seen renderings of the A’s stadium shown on three different locations on the Tropicana hotel site that is 35 acres, only nine of which were given to the A’s for their 33,000-seat ballpark.
“We’re waiting to see where that lands, I have to believe in the next 30 to 60 days we should find out more,” Hornbuckle said, per the report. “I’ve been shown three versions of it now, in terms of where it will actually sit on the site and how it will connect.” And in the Nevada courts right now is a lawsuit filed by Schools Over Stadiums, the political action group made up primarily of school teachers. The lawsuit argues that Senate Bill 1, which will provide $380 million of public money to the A’s for their new stadium, was passed unconstitutionally. The bill did not get a two-thirds supermajority in either the Assembly or the Senate; any bill introducing new taxes is supposed to be passed with a supermajority, according to the state’s constitution.
The teachers are simultaneously waiting to hear from the Nevada supreme court about a petition they’ve submitted. If their petition is approved, they can begin collecting signatures for a referendum on the stadium funding that could give Nevada taxpayers a say in November.
