The Athletics appear to be closer to securing a site for a potential new ballpark in Southern Nevada. The organization has placed an offer on a plot of land "in the Las Vegas Valley," A's team president Dave Kaval told The Las Vegas Review-Journal on Friday.
“We’re kind of moving from a phase of research/data gathering to action around a final site,” Kaval told the Review-Journal Friday afternoon. “That’s really important because the site selection is a really critical path to keep the process moving forward to where we could have a holistically blessed project.”
Kaval did not specify where the exact site is, but this is a significant step in the franchise's process of potentially relocating to Southern Nevada.

“How it works, how it’s financed, any public-private partnerships, all the aspects and why we think it works in the marketplace,” Kaval told the Review-Journal. “We’re building toward that with all these steps.”
