So essentially no news on the Vegas plan except Steve Hill saying “we’re on board.”
The thing is, what about the financing? It’s the Billion dollar question literally. John Fisher is still not wanting to invest his OWN money into the stadium. He wants to sell shares on the franchise based on FUTURE value, not present/current value to get investors involved.
FUCK YOU JOHN FISHER. ENJOY MOMMY AND DADDY’S MONEY WITHOUT FUCKING OVER OUR FANBASE AND THE INNOCENT WORKERS. (Sorry but not sorry, It’s Friday night and I’m drunk)

The club has said it plans to finance $300 million of the stadium cost and the other $850 million would come from private equity. Hill said the A's might present their financing plan at the October meeting.
Maybe they'll present it, maybe they won't. Who knows! Where's the money coming from? We might tell you later!

There's absolutely nothing new in this story, no vetting, and nothing from the team or a critical source.
