The Oakland Athletics of Major League Baseball are heading to Vegas, baby, Vegas!

President Dave Kaval told the RJ late last night:

“For a while, we were on parallel paths (with Oakland), but we have turned our attention to Las Vegas to get a deal here for the A’s and find a long-term home,” Kaval told the Las Vegas Review-Journal on Wednesday. “Oakland has been a great home for us for over 50 years, but we really need this 20-year saga completed, and we feel there’s a path here in Southern Nevada to do that.”

The A’s agreed to purchase 49 acres of land owned by Red Rock Resorts, and the team plans to build a $1.5 billion stadium to hold 30,000 spectators.
