Oakland A’s purchase land for new stadium in Las Vegas — a move that could help SLC land an MLB team

With new stadium situations for the A’s and Rays in the works, attention could soon turn to expansion, with Salt Lake City seemingly in competition with Portland for a new team out West.

(Jeff Chiu | AP ) People watch a baseball game at Oakland Coliseum between the Oakland Athletics and the Texas Rangers in Oakland, Calif., July 23, 2022. The Athletics have signed a binding agreement to purchase land for a new retractable roof stadium in Las Vegas after being unable to build a new venue in the Bay Area. Team president Dave Kaval said Wednesday, April 19, 2023, that the team finalized the deal to buy the 49-acre site last week close to the Las Vegas Strip.
