Architects will be drawing up on 75% of the idea from the original renderings seen here that was submitted by the Oakland A’s for the Tropicana Ballpark. The new renderings which will come from two different architects is expected to be ready by November (artist rendering submitted by the Oakland A’s)
On Oakland A’s podcast with Daniel Dullum:
#1 Daniel, the Las Vegas Review Journal reports that the Oakland A’s won’t have renderings of their new Las Vegas digs ready until November after the World Series.
#2 The A’s are considering two architects for handling their renderings HTNB and Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) who are two companies who will combine their work on the Tropicana Hotel and Casino ballpark renderings and the other group Gensler who are a Las Vegas architect who will bid on doing the ball park drawings.
#3 After the A’s will select which architect to work with based on 75% of the design and will follow up on construction groups to see how the design will work with that construction group and the cost.
#4 Brad Schrock who is the Oakland/Las Vegas A’s director of design said that the public saw what the renderings looked like in the newspapers but he will be interested to see what comes back from the bidding architects when are finished with the new renderings.
#5 With the renderings expected to be finished by November and a relocation vote that can be taken by Thanksgiving as some say, is this time period just a coincidence that it will take place after the World Series after the fans relocation opposition pressure would have died down and they could get on with the relocation vote?
