LAS VEGAS OFFICIAL SAYS CITY 'ROUNDING THIRD' IN GETTING A'S STADIUM CONSTRUCTION APPROVED

Steve Hill, president and CEO of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, said he was optimistic three key documents needed to begin construction on a new stadium for the Athletics would be approved Dec. 5.“We're rounding third and heading for home,” Hill said after Thursday's Las Vegas Stadium Authority board meeting.

Hill and the LVCVA were so hopeful the approvals would come at that December meeting that three others were canceled. The board will next meet Oct. 17, and a meeting has been set aside for Dec. 12 as a “safety valve.”
