Compare this with some of the so-called "experts" who said the retractable roof stadium could not be built within budget. While we won't know for sure until it's built, the article does indicate the group has a good handle on the costs.
Although Senate Bill 1 could provide the Oakland Athletics up to $380 million toward constructing a planned $1.5 billion Las Vegas ballpark, it is unlikely the team uses that full amount.
Instead, the team is likely to use around $340 million toward constructing a 30,000-seat, retractable roof stadium on 9 acres of land at the Tropicana site, according to Steve Hill, Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority CEO and President.
"It's capped at $380 million, but it's almost certainly not going to get to $380 million," Hill, who also serves as chairman of the Las Vegas Stadium Authority, told the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
