Nevada lawmakers on Tuesday granted the A’s a crucial win in their dreams of a state-of-the-art, $1.5 billion Las Vegas ballpark, part of a whirlwind day for Oakland’s last major sports franchise.
The Nevada state Senate voted 13-8 to approve up to $380 million in public money for a stadium on the Vegas strip, setting up a vote in the Assembly that could seal the deal after the team at the 11th hour promised to provide new community benefits.
If approved by the Legislature, the bill is widely expected to be signed by Republican Gov. Joe Lombardo.
