The Oakland A's Vegas Stadium - Why It'll Never Get Built

October 9, 2024: Tropicana Las Vegas imploded. 67 years of history destroyed in 9 seconds. Why? To make room for the Oakland Athletics' new baseball stadium. Estimated cost: $2 billion. Opening: 2028. Except... it probably won't get built. They demolished the Tropicana for this. 67 years. 9 seconds. For a stadium that probably won't open on time... or at all. Likely scenarios: Timeline slips to 2029-2030, billions over budget Opens scaled down (25k seats instead of 33k) Complete collapse, Fisher sells/bankruptcy, A's move again #athletics #oaklandathletics #lasvegas #vegas #mlb #baseball #tropicana #johnfisher #stadium #vegasstadium #oaklandas #sacramento #tropicanaimplosion #vegasnews #mlbnews #ballpark #financing #bankruptcy #disaster
