I always feel stadiums are just a loss.
I get the stadiums get old after a while, but just update them instead of building new.
Or why cant sports share?
I get the A's are moving, so they need to build a new stadium, but isnt LV full of stadiums?
You know, if they put the money into btc and take it out when they need, they might make profit by 2028.
Vegas has never had a pro baseball team.
Owners want luxury seats that old stadiums don't have.

They As were known for spending money where it mattered.

Oakland's stadium is outdated which is why the Raiders left twice.
The stadium is owned by the city of Oakland.
The A's have the lowest payroll in baseball, I think.
reply
Yes, it is outdated.
Just like every other stadium.
But it could be upgraded for a fraction of the cost to build a new one.
But it doesnt matter because they are moving away after 3 season.

Oakland Coliseum was built in 1966. No other stadium is that old except for Fenway Park and Wrigley Field.
Oakland Coliseum was used for football and baseball.

I hear ya. with all the needs that Las Vegas has we constantly spend on entertainment at the expense taxpayers.

Las Vegas needs to figure out their water situation.
Unless they figure out a permanent solution, they are forever going to be depending on other sources of water.
Can you imagine how many toilets get flushed at a stadium?
