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.

Red Flag Warning issued for heightened fire danger in Southern Nevada
LAS VEGAS (KSNV) — We’ll start the week with a heightened fire danger with dangerous heat later this week.
TODAY
Expect mostly sunny skies with winds picking up again on Monday. High temperatures will reach 98 degrees in Las Vegas with south winds 10-20 mph and wind gusts up to 30 mph.
A RED FLAG WARNING is in place from 10am to 9pm Monday for gusty winds and dry weather, so if a fire started, it would spread quickly.
Winds are estimated to be 20-25 mph with gusts around 40 mph at times with relative humidity of 5%-15%.
Air quality is ranked ‘good’ to ‘moderate’ for dust and tree pollen. The most common pollens are juniper, cedar, willow, sycamore and palm.
TONIGHT
We’ll see variable clouds this evening with skies going from mostly cloudy to mostly clear overnight.
Wind gusts will pick up again before midnight with gusts 30-40 mph possible downslope of the Spring Mountains in the west valley.
Elsewhere, gusts will be 20-30 mph. Breezes will eventually back down to 5-15 mph overnight. Valley lows will drop to around 74 degrees.
WHAT’S NEXT
We have reached 109 consecutive days without measurable rain in Las Vegas.
No rain is in sight, but for perspective, June is the driest month of the year in Las Vegas. Fingers crossed on a hopefully more active monsoon season!
High pressure builds next with highs 5-10 degrees above normal. Temperatures will reach around 108 degrees in Las Vegas by Friday. The last time we hit a high temperature of 108 degrees was back on August 20th of last year.
Not much relief is in sight by the weekend with highs around 107 degrees and temps at or above 105-106 degrees NEXT Monday through Wednesday.
