LAS VEGAS — The Oakland Athletics are negotiating with Clark County to bridge a $75 million dollar gap in public financing for the proposed $1.5 billion MLB Las Vegas ballpark.
As the A’s finalize the draft language for the bill that would be used to officially request the funds from the Legislature, state and county officials are only ready to offer the organization $320 million of their planned $395 million request, a person with knowledge of the negotiations told the Review-Journal.
The outstanding funds would come from the county, so the two sides have been working toward hashing out their differences to get to the A’s desired amount for the 30,000-seat stadium, the source said.
