She returned to Washington in June.During Thursday’s hearing, Feinstein was meant to cast her vote on the Defense Appropriations bill, requiring her to say “Aye” or “Nay,” when her name was called.

Oakland A’s reportedly toss out initial Las Vegas ballpark renderings

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:22:36 GMT

Remember those fancy renderings the A’s released of their proposed Las Vegas ballpark, built right on the Strip?The A’s are now telling people to forget all about them.A’s director of design Brad Schrock spoke to the Las Vegas Review-Journal this week and said that the team is telling the architectural groups interested in building the ballpark to ignore the initial renderings.“We told the groups, ‘You saw renderings in the newspaper, but wad those up for now,’” Schrock said. “We are really encouraging them to think creatively about the different ways to solve the problem. It will be fun to see what we get back.”Those renderings were produced just as the A’s were meeting with Nevada lawmakers, seeking approval for up to $380 million in taxpayer money to help build the 30,000-seat, nine-acre stadium that is expected to cost $1.5 billion total. After several special sessions, Nevada Gov. Joe Lombardo signed Senate Bill 1 into law on June 15.In some ways, it was obvious from the beginn...

Pac-12 survival: The expansion imperative following Colorado’s (expected) departure

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:22:36 GMT

The Pac-12 presidents spent a year mulling whether to expand the conference following the announced departures of the Los Angeles schools.Now, they seemingly have no choice.Colorado’s presumptive departure to the Big 12 next summer will leave the Pac-12 with nine teams for the 2024 football season. That’s more than enough to meet NCAA and College Football Playoff requirements but creates a plethora of challenges, with the football schedule near the top of the list.A nine-game conference rotation doesn’t work with nine teams.As much as we’d like to see Oregon and Washington play a home-and-home series each fall, there’s no indication the Pac-12 plans to double up the intra-conference matchups.Sure, it could move forward with nine teams schools drop to an eight-game conference schedule. (The SEC and ACC also play eight league games.) But that approach would require each team to add one non-conference opponent — a tricky and costly proposition at this late date.Most schedules are...
