MLB Owners Expected to Approve Oakland Athletics' Move to Las Vegas

Despite Market Concerns, Approval Likely Amid Legal Challenges from Nevada Teachers

MLB owners are expected to approve the Oakland Athletics' proposed move to Las Vegas this week, despite concerns about the viability of the market.
The A's success in Las Vegas would heavily rely on tourism and the support of local businesses, particularly casinos.
The planned stadium in Las Vegas, set to open in 2028, is estimated to cost $1.5 billion.
A political action committee backed by Nevada school teachers, 'Schools over Stadiums', is challenging the $380 million in funding for the stadium, arguing that the money should be used for education instead.
The A's current lease in Oakland expires after the 2024 season, and it is unclear where the team would play prior to the 2028 season.
