I imagine an indoor stadium. Remember when the Mets AAA were there? 

It's only going to be a partial sliding roof. $1.5B. It's going to sit on the site of the old Wild West Casino which has been shut down since 2020. It's a pretty famous truck stop, and an even more infamous place where the truckers banged hookers. Lots of hookers. I just drove past the spot today and it was loaded with 18 wheelers enjoying a little afternoon delight. 

Our minor league stadium was voted as one of the top 5 in the country, and it's a fully open regular stadium. I never understood why anyone would want to play baseball in 120 degree heat. Well there you go, Vegas now has an NFL, NHL, and will have an MLB team. Next up-NBA.

Talk about a home field advantage...   the Knicks always loved the Sunday day game to take advantage of players out enjoying NYC on a Saturday night.  Imagine being a 21 year old mutli-millionaire rolling into Vegas on a Friday or Saturday
