Oakland A's Plan To Move To Las Vegas OK'd By MLB Owners: Reports

OAKLAND, CA — The Oakland Athletics' plan to move to Sin City was unanimously approved by MLB owners on Thursday morning, according to multiple reports.

The Associated Press confirmed the approval, citing two anonymous sources familiar with the vote, as did USA Today and CBS Sports.

The vote comes following years of complaints about the Oakland Coliseum, as well as failed attempts to obtain government assistance for a new ballpark in the Bay area,. The A's plan to move to a stadium to be built on the Las Vegas Strip with $380 million in public financing approved by the Nevada government. They're expected to move into a $1.5 billion ballpark on the Strip.

The A's lease at the Coliseum expires after the 2024 season. The move still must be approved by John Fisher's fellow owners, according to CBS Sports.

No owner opposed the move, according to CBS Sports, and MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred has expressed support for the move.

The A's are the first team to relocate since the Montreal Expos moved in 2005 to Washington, D.C., and became the Nationals.

In April, the A's announced the team bought land in Las Vegas. The following month, the location was replaced with a deal with Bally’s and Gaming & Leisure Properties to build a stadium on the Tropicana hotel site.
