as there are two minor league parks in Vegas but neither is suitable for a major league team.

Similar situation in Sacramento. It could take years to get a stadium buillt there or in Vegas, as the Raiders are certainly not going share their new digs which would reqire puttng in a baseball, dirt infield, like they used to do back in the day with thos combo stadiums...none still exist btw.

It's just too bad. The A's could be in an inadequate minor league park for years.
