The A's Have Apparently Failed To Secure Any Investors For Their Vegas Stadium + There's A Rumored Gag Order In Place On Bay Area Investment Groups Interested In Keeping Baseball in Oakland
We've got a little update from the Oakland/Sacramento/Vegas A's. Last week they detailed their financing plan for how their new stadium will be built in Sin City. That plan is: up to $380M in public funding (they claim they only need $350M) + $300M in debt financing + $850M in family equity. Seems straight forward, but nothing is actually that simple when it comes to this move.
