Officials from the A’s and Nevada say the Las Vegas ballpark is still on schedule.
The authorities maintain that everything is proceeding according to plan for the massive relocation project, even if there is continuous conjecture over whether the Athletics’ planned move to Las Vegas will be sustainable.
In a special interview with Mick Akers of the Las Vegas Review-Journal, president of the A’s Dave Kaval gave a positive update on the team’s continued efforts to complete the ballpark by the projected date.
Kaval informed the Review-Journal that “things are moving forward.” We’re finishing up a lot of the chores that were required to complete this. We simply never stop working toward the groundbreaking in 2025 and the opening in 2028. We’re thrilled with how far we’ve come in only a single year.
The Tropicana hotel, which started to be demolished in April to make room for the A’s ballpark, will be the location of the proposed stadium. The chairman of Bally’s Corp., the company that owns the former hotel location, Soo Kim, agreed with Kaval that the demolition should go according to plan.
“Everything is expected to be completed by October, and we’re on pace,” Kim wrote to the Las Vegas Review-Journal via email.
The intention is to clear the hotel site in time for the A’s to start building the ballpark in 2025. Even with all the shifting pieces, Steve Hill, chairman of the Las Vegas Stadium Authority, who oversaw the building of Allegiant Stadium, home of the Raiders, stated he thinks the A’s proposed stadium is progressing at a reasonable rate.
