Exact A’s ballpark location in air; Bally’s open to partnering on new resort

Following paragraphs are excerpts:

Renderings depict the $1.5 billion, 33,000-seat stadium in the southeast corner of the 36-acre site. That location is still on the board, but it’s not the only area being considered, according to Kim.

“We are considering both a central placement as well as one in the corner,” Kim said in an email to the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

The ballpark will encompass 9 acres of the site, with a 3-acre public plaza leading up to the stadium from the Strip. Bally’s wants to build a new resort on the remaining acreage.

Bally’s is obligated to build out the plaza and parking tied to the site. That could include a parking garage, should one be deemed necessary to accommodate both the stadium and hotel projects, according to a letter submitted to Clark County by a Bally’s attorney.

The A’s will present a draft of the nonrelocation agreement at a May 16 stadium authority meeting, according to authority chairman Steve Hill. That agreement will guarantee the A’s don’t attempt to relocate from Las Vegas for at least 30 years, which will also be the length of the lease agreement.

The A’s would still need to present drafts of development and lease agreements.
