New A’s Timeline In Vegas Has Emerged

Two baseball fans watch the Oakland Athletics play the Texas Rangers in front of a small crowd at RingCentral Coliseum on May 26, 2022 in Oakland, California. Attendance at Oakland Athletics baseball games have dwindled to historic lows as the team has traded away fan favorite players and continues to explore moving the team to Las Vegas if they can't reach a deal to build a new stadium near the Port of Oakland. The Athletics have the lowest attendance of all 30 teams.

After running into some bumps in recent weeks, it now appears that the plans for the Oakland Athletics to build their stadium and relocate to Las Vegas are back on track.

The 11-45 A’s won on Monday but have lost nine of their last ten games and are, by far, the worst team in the majors.

Ownership didn’t want to stay in Oakland and is instead seeking a move to Las Vegas.

After a few differences in opinion with Nevada lawmakers regarding the funding for a new stadium on the Las Vegas strip, they are now reviewing the team’s plan.

“Nevada lawmakers are now reviewing the Oakland A’s ballpark funding bill. The team’s planned timeline: 2023: Legislation approved. 2023: MLB approves relocation. 2024-25: Construction begins. 2028: Construction complete. Spring 2028: Opening Day in Vegas,” Front Office Sports tweeted.

There is a plan already in place, and it’s a realistic one.

It is contingent on the lawmakers approving the funding plan and the owners approving the relocation.

Both of them are expected to happen.

Once there is a green light, construction will begin next year and finish in 2028.

At that point, the plan is for the A’s to start spring training and the season in Vegas.

MLB’s vote to approve the relocation is expected to take place in mid-June.

If the move materializes, the A’s would be the first franchise to relocate since the Montreal Expos became the Washington Nationals in 2005.

Nevada lawmakers already reached an agreement to fund the $1.5 billion retractable-roof ballpark in Las Vegas, but the official approval is still pending.

Bears Are Reportedly Doing ‘Serious Homework’ On 1 Coaching Candidate

Interim head coach Thomas Brown hasn’t won a game, leading most to believe there is little chance he gets any consideration to be the permanent replacement. With that in mind, the Bears reportedly are looking into other possible candidates. “The Bears are looking for a ‘leader of men’ for their opening at HC, and GM Ryan Poles has been doing ‘serious homework’ on [Miami] Dolphins DC Anthony Weaver, per Dianna Russini,” JPAFootball wrote on X.

Lakers Given Notable Odds To Make NBA Finals

(Photo by Sam Hodde/Getty Images)   Because of their history and roster, the Los Angeles Lakers are always aiming to reach the NBA Finals. However, that is obviously much easier said than done. This year, the betting markets believe they have a chance of competing for a championship, but it’s not a huge one. According to Polymarket, the Lakers have an eight percent shot of going to the Finals. Even with some smart acquisitions and Luka Doncic starting his first full season with the team, the Lakers still have their work cut out for them.

Standout Packers RB Gets Nominated For Notable NFL Award

With Josh Jacobs out with a knee injury, someone would have to step up to lead the way against the Minnesota Vikings. Fortunately for them, backup RB Emanuel Wilson was more than up to the task. That’s why, after his strong performance, it’s not much of a surprise to see him being nominated for the FedEx Air and Ground Player of the Week: “Packers RB Emanuel Wilson (125 total yards, 2 TDs) is a nominee for the FedEx Air and Ground Players of the Week award in Week 12,” Kruse posted on X. #Packers RB Emanuel Wilson (125 total yards, 2 TDs) is a nominee for the FedEx Air and Ground Players of the Week award in Week 12. — Zach Kruse (@zachkruse2) November 24, 2025 Wilson was shifty and explosive out of the backfield.
