Overview

• MLB owners are expected to approve the Oakland Athletics' proposed move to Las Vegas this week, despite concerns about the viability of the market.
• The A's success in Las Vegas would heavily rely on tourism and the support of local businesses, particularly casinos.
• The planned stadium in Las Vegas, set to open in 2028, is estimated to cost $1.5 billion.
• A political action committee backed by Nevada school teachers, 'Schools over Stadiums', is challenging the $380 million in funding for the stadium, arguing that the money should be used for education instead.
• The A's current lease in Oakland expires after the 2024 season, and it is unclear where the team would play prior to the 2028 season.
