The first-term Republican governor and former sheriff in Las Vegas said he was excited to sign the measure the Democrat-controlled Legislature approved Wednesday night after a seven-day long special session."This is an incredible opportunity to bring the A's to Nevada," Lombardo said in a statement from Carson City.
Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred outlined the review process of the A's proposed relocation during a news conference hours earlier at a meeting of owners in New York. With a capacity of 30,000, the stadium would be MLB's smallest. "We will now begin the process with MLB to apply for relocation to Las Vegas," the statement said. "We are excited about Southern Nevada's dynamic and vibrant professional sports scene, and we look forward to becoming a valued community member through jobs, economic development, and the quality of life and civic pride of a Major League Baseball team."
Opposition came from both sides of the aisle, especially in northern and rural Nevada several hundreds of miles away from Las Vegas.
