📣Breaking News: The Athletics, long-time Oakland natives, are advancing their move to Las Vegas. The team has started submitting information for their relocation application, per MLB commissioner Rob Manfred. Though still incomplete, this move follows Nevada State Legislature’s approval of a bill to help fund a new $1.5 billion, 30,000-seat ballpark. The Athletics aim to break ground in 2023 and kick off the 2028 season under a Vegas sun. 🌞🏟️
The big question? Where will the A’s call home between their Oakland Coliseum lease end in 2024 and the grand Vegas opening. Stay tuned!
Disappointment looms as Oakland’s political process hasn’t found a solution to keep the A’s, but the game must go on.⚾️✨ #MLB #AthleticsMoving #LasVegasBaseball #StayTuned
