A’s Las Vegas plan: Where will they play between now and 2027?

Published Thu, 06 Feb 2025 11:57:00 GMT

The A’s are ready to leave the Coliseum behind.They signaled as much when they announced late Wednesday night that they had reached a binding agreement to buy a plot of land in Las Vegas to build a new stadium and relocate to Sin City.That deal, and the plan associated with it, would put the A’s on a path to an off-Strip stadium in 2027 at the earliest. Their lease at the Coliseum ends following the 2024 season.So where will they play in 2025 and 2026? The New York Times mentioned Thursday that Oracle Park could be one option, but two others appear more likely: Extending at the Coliseum, similar to what happened with the Raiders while their Las Vegas stadium was being built, or playing at Las Vegas Ballpark — the home of their Triple-A affiliate — while constructing the MLB stadium.Team president Dave Kaval said the A’s have a deal in place with the Aviators to use Las Vegas Ballpark if needed — possibly as soon as next season if the sides agree t...

Oprah Winfrey irks Montecito neighbors with new creek wall to stop floods

Published Thu, 06 Feb 2025 11:57:00 GMT

As with communities up and town the California coast, Oprah Winfrey’s hometown of Montecito faced the possibility of devastating floods during this past winter’s heavy rains.But the media mogul’s apparent effort to prevent flooding from a creek that runs along her Montecito estate has irked neighbors and and raised concerns among Santa Barbara County officials over whether the construction of a boulder wall was properly permitted, according to Santa Barbara County news site Noozhawk. They don’t know if the wall, built to prevent erosion along San Ysidro Creek, could stand up to a deluge from a next major storm or could reroute water in ways that could damage other properties, Noozhawk said.Earlier this year, Montecito was evacuated when a storm swept through the community. The town also was the scene of tragedy in 2018, when a mudslide killed 23 people, a number of whom were swept into San Ysidro Creek, the Los Angeles Times said. Winfrey herself posted video...
