Nevada Legislature Delays Vote on Public Funding for A's Stadium in Las Vegas

  • Lawmakers in Nevada failed to take action on a bill that would have provided $380 million in public funding for a $1.5 billion stadium on the Strip for the Oakland Athletics.
  • The bill proposing up to $380 million in public funds for the $1.5 billion stadium project was not voted on before the regular session ended.
  • Nevada Governor Joe Lombardo has called for a special session to discuss the potential financing package.
  • The bulk of the public funding for the $1.5 billion retractable roof stadium would come from $380 million in public assistance, partly through $180 million in transferable tax credits and $120 million in county bonds.
  • The proposed 30,000-seat stadium would be the smallest in Major League Baseball.
