Report shows how A's plan to give back to Las Vegas community

LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — With the Oakland A’s set to move to Las Vegas ahead of the 2028 Major League Baseball season, we now know a little more about how the team plans to invest in the Southern Nevada community.

According to a proposed community benefits agreement — released ahead of Thursday’s Las Vegas Stadium Authority Board meeting — the team has a number of areas it plans to address.

That includes a grant program to benefit local organizations that provide assistance to veterans, a small business fund, and monies for improvement and restoration of community ball fields.

On Monday, the A’s also announced that they have already provided $200,000 to more than 70 leagues across Nevada in support of youth sports.

“We’re proud to provide a donation to every youth baseball and softball league across the state of Nevada,” said A’s President Dave Kaval in a news release. “We are eager to continue engaging with the Nevada community and expand our commitment to supporting youth baseball and softball, education and civil engagement.”

The community benefits agreement is tied to the $380 million in public funding that the Nevada Legislature approved during a special session last year for a planned new $1.5 billion A’s ballpark on the Strip.

The stadium is set to go up at the current site of the Tropicana Las Vegas, which is scheduled to close for good April 2.

After that, the facility will be demolished to make way for the ballpark, and an adjacent Bally’s Corporation casino resort (Bally’s owns the Tropicana).

A’s assistant general manager and director of player personnel Billy Owens says giving back is something the team has always been interested in.

“You gotta truly invest in a community,” Owens said during a Zoom interview with Channel 13 on Monday. “Whether it’s education forums, athletic forums, really in all avenues, it’s huge to be invested.”

Also as part of the proposed community benefits agreement, the team says it plans to offer a stadium suite for community use during each home game at the new ballpark, which is scheduled to be ready for play in early 2028.

Second-half surge lifts Nevada to 81-65 win over San Francisco

A second-half surge, and some energetic play by the freshmen, led to a dominating win for the Nevada basketball team.

The Wolf Pack beat San Francisco, 81-65, on Friday in the Acrisure Series, a multi-team event in Palm Desert, California.

Nevada led 38-37 at the half, but then shot 75 percent from the field in the second half, 18-of-30, and 48 percent for the game, 30-of-63.

The Pack’s Corey Camper Jr. led all scorers with 22 points; he also racked up six assists as Nevada improved to 5-3 overall. Elijah Price had 11 and Ethan Croley, a freshman, had 11 points and 10 rebounds. Peyton White, also a freshman, had 10.

Nevada freshman point guard Myles Walker played 17 minutes, providing a huge boost off the bench and a defensive spark. He scored seven points on 3-of-3 shooting, 1-1 from the arc, with three assists and no turnovers.

David Fuchs led the Dons (5-3) in points with 16 and rebounds with nine.

Key stats

The Pack forced 15 turnovers while committing four, and turned those into 15 points.

Nevada was 14-of-18 from the free throw line and the Dons were 20-of-25.

Both teams hit seven 3-pointers, Nevada was 7-of-14 and San Francisco was 7-of-25. The Pack hit 3-of-4 from the arc in the second half.
