Stadium Authority gets look at A's plan that would tie team to Vegas for 30 years

After Thursday's meeting, Stadium Authority Chairman Steve Hill said the Oakland A's Southern Nevada ballpark process is on track with the team's development agreement set to be introduced this summer.

"We've have now a year's worth of experience with the A's. It's been an easy, professional productive set of conversations," he said. "Things are just moving at the pace that they need to move. It has not veered off on tangents that we wouldn't expect or seem out of line or irrational. ... It's just been a very workmanlike effort."

Additional comments from Steve Hill on the funding:

"I think John's looking at options," Hill said. "I don't think it's necessarily out of need. I think it's so that the funding is the most efficient for the A's."

When Hill was asked if he thought Fisher would be willing to fund remainder of the stadium bill on his own, he said that would be conceivable. "He has the ability to do that. Yeah," Hill said.
