Athletics' Las Vegas Stadium Bill Stalls in Nevada Legislature amid Potential Move

The Oakland Athletics encountered a setback in their plans to relocate to Las Vegas and use public funds to help build a new stadium.

The Nevada Independent's Tabitha Mueller, Sean Golonka and Jacob Solis reported Monday that the bill outlining how the stadium would be funded failed to get on the regular legislative session for Nevada's Legislature.

The report noted Gov. Joe Lombardo could call a special legislative session for lawmakers to discuss the proposal. However, Mueller followed up Tuesday to report Nevada Assembly Speaker Steve Yeager doesn't believe the A's would be included in the special session:

Yeager said when asked if anything else would be included in the special session proclamation, Lombardo did not bring up the potential for a stadium deal for the Oakland A's or a proposed expansion of the state's film tax credits.
