A's Las Vegas ballpark bill did not pass before the deadline

Jul 10, 2023

The Nevada Legislature adjourned just after midnight "without passing Senate Bill 509," meaning the A's "will need extra innings to get their Las Vegas stadium funding bill passed" by state lawmakers. The Legislature "now will have to meet in special session" to consider public financing for the stadium plan. The timing on passage of the A's public funding bill -- if it ultimately happens -- "won't have any bearing on when MLB owners could approve the team's relocation" to Las Vegas. MLB owners "won't vote" on the team's move at the owners meeting next week, "even if the bill is signed into law by then." One source indicated a special session for the A's stadium bill "could be held over the summer," but that "could not be immediately confirmed" (LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL, 6/5).

A big day for the Buffalo Bills; Another big day for Rose Zhang; Jody Allen still not engaging on team sales and from intern to Big Ten COO.
