On the A’s podcast with Jerry F:

#1 Jerry, talk about how the Senate Committee on Finance and Assembly Committee on Ways and Means took a look at Senate bill SB509 how guest/visitor drives room rates and occupancy for “heads in beds”

#2 Design regarding opening and closing the roof on hot nights in June, July, and August and it’s hot how the design of the roof will cover the ballpark.

#3 Where will the A’s benefit from on the most local residents vs. tourists? The Raiders draw is more tourists than locals. Will the tourists outdraw local tourist for a new Tropicana ballpark?

#4 The Assemblywoman Neal asked how the needs of the taxpayers and residents of Nevada who need those tax dollars that could go towards to education, homelessness and county and local government. Assemblyman Jeremy Arguello said that the jobs and dollars from services would generate taxes that would pay for those public services.

#5 Monday night’s joint committee meeting was to get a feel for the finance of the Tropicana Park this would be the one and only meeting and a vote will be scheduled later. Do you get a sense based on the talking points tonight that the Assembly weighing the costs are leaning heavily towards for the park.

#6 Assemblywoman Monroe-Moreno said “my answer right now is hell no can you show me how to get to a yes.” Monroe-Moreno said the A’s attendance in Oakland is abysmal and that A’s management has done a poor job with running the club how will that be different in Las Vegas?Assemblyman Arguello said that bringing the A’s to Las Vegas would be attraction and with a new facility they would drive more fans then what their getting now in Oakland.
