If only there was some open land around Las Vegas.
Vegas A's, inaugural season in 2032. Team record, 42-120. Nashville expansion team, 4th year in league wins world series. Good luck with Fisher!
People aren’t really opposed to LV getting a baseball team. People are opposed to Las Vegas getting a whole ass ballpark where a casino used to be in some PRIME piece of real estate. Move it the fuck elsewhere. Move it behind Allegiant and connect them..
Translation: They want fans to have to pass by a thousand slot machines to get in or out of the stadium.
This company doesn't have the money to develop this site properly is what he is really saying. They don't have the money to develop the downtown Chicago casino they promised they would build, there is no way they have money for this also. They should sell the property and let a real operator do it.
you cannot have a traffic plan based on the area alone. doesnt exist here.
There are still some big hurdles to get over before this can even break ground. So im not so sure this is a sure thing
Why not just put the stadium half a mile off the strip?
Dude....lol.hahaha
@@user-mf2fd6dq8x something funny?
If they have entries and exits from LV Blvd and/or Tropicana, then traffic is going to be a nightmare. It is already bad from late afternoons to around midnight.
They want the stadium in a location where they best rip you off from $20 beer to $100 Jerseys to slot machines all the while having the public pick up the tab for the stadium.
You don’t pay for the stadium if you don’t go inside…. It’s really that simple.
Buying a $20 beer, $100 jerseys, or putting money into a slot machine is a purely VOLUNTARY transaction just like buying an $80,000 pick up truck, a $450,000 starter home in Summerlin, or $500 concert tickets. You can just carry a plastic flask with your favorite adult beverage, buy your jersey online beforehand, and "just say no" to the slot machines.
Sell the team stay in Oakland
The Raider stadium SUCKS getting into and leaving it !! Fix that
They didn’t account for how they’re supposed to accommodate 80k people who are going to the stadium that aren’t staying on the strip or taking an Uber. Shouldve at least extended the monorail at least like they said they were going to instead of people walking over the Tropicana Ave bridge.
Imagine this...
Baseball field that you can see from the hotel windows and from the restaurant and bar balconies.
WOW!
Wish Vegas could return to
👍👍👍
The Raider fans come from LA where they wanted to be because that’s their fan base . The A’s have no fan base anywhere not in Las Vegas and not in LA . Las Vegas wants its own Vegas born team not another Oakland reject . The politicians who were given money to voted for SB1 illegally by simple majority should be thrown out of office . If they are going to come to Clark county then let A’s owner Fisher pay for it . Everyone knows after the shine of the new stadium wears off in 2 or 3 years nobody is going to go see a third rate AAA team run by a 4th rate owner ..
There wasn’t a requirement for the super majority because there is no impact on taxpayers that do not visit the stadium- this is why scams over stadiums will get laughed out of court for the 3rd time.
LV has A's fan groups on social media totaling nearly 4K members, which will grow as the time nears for the team to play here. There is almost no talk about an expansion team. SB1 is completely legal according the legislature legal staff, lawyers, and NV constitutional experts. It's the A's. The amount of ignorant misinformation spread on the web is unfortunate, especially by those who don't live in LV.
@@ProAthl The only misinformation is what you just spewed ..According to the Nevada state constitution a funding bill must pass by a 2/3 majority . SB1 only passed by a simple majority vote, 100% illegal .Not to mention ethics violations of politicians taking so called donations who voted for the bill . As far as the A’s fan group committee you are taking about, they are so incompetent just used the Atlanta Braves cap logo A instead of the Oakland A’s logo .Go shill for Sacramento where you belong .
I don’t like SB1 but there was nothing illegal about it because the public funding is bonds and not tax revenue. That being said, what the other responder doesn’t quite get (and I notice he has posted under several different usernames on these comments) is that a leopard doesn’t change its spots. I have seen over and over again the same situation play out. “We have a lousy stadium (and that is true, everyone knows the coliseum sucks) but if we only had a nicer ballpark we can actually afford to spend on a better ball club”. Here is the thing, when these owners get their shiny new toys, if they were cheap before the stadium was built, they remain cheap afterwards. We saw this in Miami with the Marlins, we see this in Minnesota with the Twins, we actually see this with the San Jose Quakes (also owned by Fisher), we see this with the Pirates in Pittsburgh, we have seen it with the Cardinals as well in Arizona. So yes….i do see the As continuing to staff a AAA roster even when the new ballpark opens. I don’t believe that Fisher will suddenly have a change of heart and start spending money just because he has a shiny new toy.
@@ProAthl Lol. Omg 4k members on Facebook groups? Wow! That’s incredible and shows Las Vegas is truly embracing the A’s 🤦♂️
It’s going to be comical seeing the stadium get invaded by opposing fans every game. I’m guessing 85% will be non A’s fans. Probably more when the Dodgers, Yankees and Red Sox come to town.
I’ll believe it when I see it. Fisher ain’t got the money.
"The community" btw
Originally planned to be renamed as Bally’s Las Vegas, the A’s have decided to relocate to Las Vegas in the southwest corner of the property and the new resort will take the rest of the land
Traffic is gonna be a nightmare.
This project will not be a so called win for the proverbial community depending what is defined as an community - the rich communities or the poorest communities more likely the former.
It's a bad location for an A's stadium in all reality but they should have thought this through a long time ago LoL 🤦
Question is there Ganna be enough room for stadium parking, cuz if there’s a hotel being rebuild behind it, I don’t think there will be enough space
A few points here. One is that if the SE plot was what was originally going to be given to the As then the renderings are total garbage because they imply a stadium elsewhere on the land. Secondly, until it is decided which parcel of land the ballpark is going on, the architects cannot actually proceed with final designs and related items. I don’t know what this does with the timeframe assuming Fisher can fund this thing, but I don’t think it’s insurmountable. Lastly, it seems like Ballys needs to get their own house in order with what they want to do, otherwise the As nine acres could make it hard for Ballys to develop the rest of the site, and then this could get real ugly.
Changing the location doesn't make the renderings "total garbage".
So does this mean the proposed ballpark will go back to the Wild Wild West site??????????
No, it just means that it might be on a different segment of the Tropicana site
They should put a hotel in the stadium like the bluejays
Hopefully rich sports fans may chip in😊
What's really funny is they thought the Raiders would be a great addition but yet if you talk to Vegas residents they don't like em.
The A’s don’t have fans even in Oakland.
They do but don't like supporting a lousy owner who trades all the good players and won't invest in an aging facility that used to be nice.
Yes we do troll
Nah. /
@@jordanjohnson9866 ..54k fans at the wild card game in 2019, a MLB record.
More fans than Vegas has Population
What about hooters restaurants at topicana?
Hooters is at Oyo
Their property values just went up,
Why Don't they Share the Experience in California.!! The Tropicana should have Restored Updated Preserved and Enjoyed part of Las Vegas HISTORY !! Who the hell needs that UNWANTED STADIUM
The A’s Vegas stadium should’ve been were the riviera was
It's to hot to play base ball Vegas. No one is sitting in that heat.
A win to the community how?
They will sell good for the cubs, dodgers, and Yankees not sure about other teams.
I'd definitely go if the Cubs come to play❤
That’s about 6 games a year lol
OAKLAND Forever 🐘🐘🐘
Great job
Uhhh.... that ballpark is not set to open anytime. Fisher hasn't figured put how to pay for it. His whole operation is a Cluster #^@&. That team might not ever make it out of Sacramento. Might wind up in Salt Lake or Charlotte or even back in Oakland before it land in Las Vegas.
it should be called the Vegas Tropicanas
No more stadiums or teams
Nobody's listening to you, little guy.
yeah las vegas doesn't need more jobs!
I bought a ticket to a Raiders game. Just to say I've been to an NFL game. I'm from Canada and visit Vegas regularly. I have absolutely no interest in paying money to watch baseball.
What a waste of a historical site. Should have kept the Trop
Tourists won't want to go into a stadium. They want a place to go in and out fast n spend little money. Too hard for locals to get there. So not feeling the vibe here. Resort, yes, stadium ?
As a local, I won't go to Allegiant or this stadium. Too hard to get to. Why not build away from the strip so locals can easily go?
True! Nobody goes to T-Mobile to see the Golden Knights (on the strip) 😂😂😂
@@togoandmoss Very true. While there are some locals who won't go to the Strip, many will, and of course those out of town "experts" who seem to know more than many of us locals.
I don’t buy that argument. Fans do travel for sports. I was on a flight to Las Vegas last year and the entire plane was filled with Chiefs fans going to see them play the Raiders at allegiant. A lot of NFL teams have fans that travel well and go to road games. The Golden Knights are unique because it’s an NHL team, that has been competitive for their entire time in the league. The As are different. First of all, baseball has been losing fans over past several years. Secondly, you are talking about 81 games vs 8 or 41. Are you going to get tourists to fill the stadium every game. I think not for a few reasons. One is that in the As own division, most of the teams have fan bases that don’t travel well from what I have seen. Secondly, only a few teams (Red Sox, Cubs, Yankees, Dodgers) have fan bases I could see traveling. Three, it gets very hot in Vegas during the summer, and I know the ballpark is indoors, but summer weather is one reason I hear that people don’t travel to Marlins games either. So can the ballpark be filled by tourists and locals? Possibly. Is it likely? I have my doubts. I suspect that if the ballpark hosts the National Finals Rodeo, it will outdraw most of the As games.
@@richmartin1427 44,000,000 tourists disagree with you every year. 500,000 in town for EDC this weekend... why do the Aces lead the WNBA in attendance? I am buying season tickets the second they are available along with many of my friends. I believe the A's will be very competitive and draw a large fanbase like the other teams in Las Vegas.
DO NOT use are tax paying money for this crap, no locals want this stadium. WE the LOCALS get zero benefits from this, but price increases in rent, gas, food, power, the life to live in this 3 times more city Vegas now. Raiders gave us DUI, Death, and now after spending all that money for that brand new buildings. they want to Cali to train. How about investing into the locals that need help! why do we need yellow cones on every other freaking street with no work being done or even look like the work is even going to start anytime soon.
Why does she talk like that lol
Announcing school teaches that.
@@CrabbyOldLady She has a minor in journalism. You would also learn how to speak like that if you have a degree in broadcast journalism or radio and television, which is what I have, but I don’t talk like her that is very unauthentic.
@@kobartlett I agree. It sounds much too phony.
not gonna happen... Im betting the Trop will be demolished , for a new mega resort casino. There will be no baseball stadium at all.
With the coming recession, we are about to have this whole project will be put on hold. It may not happen at all.
As exciting as watching paint dry
Word on the street is the A's ain't coming to Vegas! Stay tuned....
You’re not getting a stadium or team!!!
Re name the team "La Vegas Hot Rocks"...
Old Trop. Is fine for the location, the Monorails from MGM can be expanded to cross over as well as access from other directions..
It's only going to be a 30k capacity.. it won't be terrible..
Do not put the stadium up there that would be so stupid. Just put another casino there.
Here comes another boondoggle.
Sinless City is famous for that! The next economic recession, all construction comes to a halt, just like the last time in 2008.
@@michaelellringer5600 Exactly! Spot on.
Need tax money is what i Hear.
How about an NBA team instead!
Sooo they still have zero concrete plan.
The "renderings" that were provided are worthless as well
Fisher is a dumpster fire.
Worst professional sports team owner ever!!
Oakland A's fan sense the mid 70's
The New Frontier
SELL
I like it 👍🏽
Vegas has lost its class, has a real ghetto feel now. No thanks.
First
Get a life 😂
