Oakland A's Las Vegas Ballpark May Be Pushed Back To 2029 Due To Bally's-Related Design Changes
Oakland A's Las Vegas Ballpark May Be Pushed Back To 2029 Due To Bally's-Related Design Changes The latest news regarding the Oakland A's quest to build a new ballpark in Las Vegas and at the Tropicana Hotel site, is that the project may be delayed in opening by a year, to 2029. Why? As Zennie62Media understands it, the reason is tied to the current design changes being made to the ballpark. Those design changee have nothing to do with a retractable roof, and everything to do with the work to integrate Bally's proposed new hotel to replace the Tropicana into the design. So, the reason does not point to a disaster, but does address the organization's attempt to make its facility a better investment from a private placement perspective. Having two designs - one for the ballpark and one for the hotel - on the same basic property did not make sense in terms of overall revenue objectives. Flow of the visitor, and thus spending, can be harmed if the hotel is not directly connected to the ballpark. Not saying that was a certain problem, but having two architectural cooks in the same kitchen would cause a problem from the view of crowd flow. This marks an effort to get it right. Once the design is revealed, expect to see a new hotel as part of it in some way. It may be fully integrated with the ballpark. But it will be connected in a way that makes sense. Where Will The A's Play? The Oakland A's would like to stay and play at the Coliseum, but the current political situation and behavior of the Mayor of Oakland, makes that desire a fantasy. What Mayor Thao needs to do is stop playing games with the organization if she wants the team to remain. Otherwise, they will leave early and not return. Stay tuned.
