There are some documents that still need to be completed and submitted, but there appears to be nothing major that would block putting shovels in the ground.
A's president Marc Badain said the team is on track for a June groundbreaking for the $1.75 billion, 33,000-person capacity ballpark intended to open for the 2028 season. The club is playing the first of at least three seasons in a Triple-A ballpark at West Sacramento, California.
"Locally, everybody knows this project's going to happen," Badain said. "Nationally, there are a lot of skeptics. There will always be a lot of skeptics. There's a lot of people that make a living out of questioning the success of sports venues and what they actually do for a community. You're never going to eradicate that negativity. It's just out there."
When Clark County commissioners met last week, all 15 people who spoke during the public-comments portion favored the project. Many union workers wore A's kelly-green shirts that read, "Approve it and they will come."
