Good article, especially when the news is fairly quiet these days.
As the concept design phase of the Athletics' planned $1.5 billion Las Vegas ballpark begins, the decision on how to give a stadium an open-air feel is at the top of the team's to-do list.
The team is down to a choice between two groups who could design the team's planned ballpark, A's director of design Brad Schrock told the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
"There are several goals that are super important," Schrock said. But at the top of the list from an fan experience standpoint, he said, "is creating the ballpark that has the greatest ability to feel like it's outdoors.
The two design groups will be in a competition of sorts that is set to play out until about early November, when the preferred group will be chosen based on their 75 percent concept design of a Las Vegas stadium.
