The Oakland Athletics' on-going move to Vegas has been anything but smooth.
It almost seems like they’re aiming to go about this in the most incompetent way possible.
In fact, there’s still a decent chance this all falls apart in spectacular fashion.
The first edition of renderings that we saw last summer were thrown out.
It took until yesterday for everyone to see what this $1.5B project was going to resemble.
They’re not wrong.
All jokes aside, I think it looks pretty cool.
Really building the hype!
For starters there are no lights as far as I see.
Considering this will be a dome, I’d recommend installing lights.
Do we love the scoreboard?
18,000 square feet would make it the biggest in the whole league.
Looks futuristic, but is it too much?
Are players going to be bothered by it?
Also what are the odds the actual finished product looks anything like this?
Do we think this ends up costing the $1.5B estimated or double?
Gotta be the worst money ever spent in the history of buildings.
Have to imagine that was the last time that architect was in charge of anything, right?
What a dud of a stadium that houses not one, but TWO New York football teams.
I’ll never get over it.
But back to Vegas, the renderings look cool.
Do we ever see this thing actually happen?
With John Fisher running the show everything is in play.
Passan was far from hopeful about the whole thing when he spoke on it a few weeks ago.
I very much look forward to seeing how this all unfolds.
After that the lease is up and it’s anyone’s guess.
The completion of the 33,000 seat capacity stadium isn’t expected until 2028.
The clock is ticking, but hey at least we’ve got renderings!
