On That’s Amaury News and Commentary:

From Casinos to the Chamber of Commerce, the state of Nevada and the City of Las Vegas it’s looking more and more likely the A’s last and most important step to move to Las Vegas and finance their new ball park at Tropicana and I 15 would be a reality.

Currently in Nevada the A’s are pushing for a bill that would put together $500 million from a special tax district being arranged. That special tax district would include amphitheater and restaurants near the A’s new ballpark. Red Rock Report who is a parent company of Red Rock resorts are relying their hopes that the A’s would get some sort of public assistance.

There is opposition like every other new stadium idea. Nevada tax payers say that the Las Vegas Raiders when they moved to Las Vegas already paid $750 million in public taxes now the A’s are asking for $500 million there has been some blow on using public funds.

The other opposing voice has come from Raiders owner Mark Davis who said the A’s who shared the Oakland Coliseum with the Raiders signed a ten year lease and became the Coliseum main tenant forced the Raiders to move to Las Vegas. The question on how the Raiders and Davis will respond to having the A’s and John Fisher A’s owner who he blames for the Coliseum tenant debacle will Davis go and try and play politics to try and keep the A’s out.

With all the support the A’s are getting from the state of Nevada, the Nevada Chamber of Commerce, local Casinos and Red Rock it might be too much for Davis to try and oppose the new stadium and he just might have to try and get along with his old “roommate.”
