Screw the A's and their owner John Fisher. They should be playing their next 3 seasons at the AAA ballpark in (Summerlin) Vegas, and begin developing their fan base there, not in Sacramento. They have zero regard for their fans.

The firm has worked on more than 100 sports financing deals, and the firm’s website describes founder Sal Galatioto as “the industry’s leading sports banker.”

The same type of people who would have rather not seen Allegiant Stadium or Terminal 3 at LAS lose in court for perhaps a final time to prevent the A's from receiving their tax credits (if the project even happens). There is no schools bill that wasn't funded because of the effort to bring the Athletics to town. Just like there wasn't some $750b out there that schools and other causes missed out on because Allegiant Stadium was built.

Yes, regardless of the outcome of the effort for the Athletics to build a stadium, Bally's will be doing something else w/ the Tropicana site and that hotel is done.

In the Middle of the Night ?
How much Noise is THAT going to make ?
Sorry anyone trying to Sleep ....
I know, someone is going to say that No One sleeps in Vegas.
It's a non-issue. The 19th busiest airport on the planet is more of a nuisance for anyone within earshot of the implosion, which will be over in seconds.
Anyways, it's Vegas. It will be the star attraction that evening.

Pretty cool, 3-0 UNLV #25 in the coaches poll for the first time ever. Also:
I've always thought we should drop the football program and go all in on the Basketball. have a top 25 team all the time.
