Steve Hill, president and CEO of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, says the timelines for the Oakland Athletics\' new stadium will be met.
The A\'s hope to open the approximately $1.5 billion, 33,000-seat ballpark for the 2028 season.
\"They\'re coming and they\'ve said they can finance this stadium,\" Hill said. \"They are going to play baseball here in 2028. I frankly think it\'s just fun [for critics] to create some drama around it and that\'s happening. That keeps all of our lives a little more interesting, but it doesn\'t change the facts on the ground, which is they\'ve said what they\'re going to do and they\'re just doing it.\"
This is the club\'s final season in Oakland. They agreed to play the following three seasons, with an option for a fourth, in a Triple-A stadium in West Sacramento, California.
