Hey J&K StayInVegas Here’s Why Oakland A’s Ballpark At Tropicana Is A Great Idea
A month ago, one of my, Zennie Abraham, CEO of Zennie62Media, Inc,, favorite Las Vegas vlogger channels, J&K StayInVegas, made a vlog called “Here’s Why A’s Ballpark At Tropicana Is A Bad Idea”. Well, I reached out to share my thoughts and make a collaboration livestream, but Jay of J&K StayInVegas said he responded to my comment. Well, I never found it.
So, in perfect YouTube vlog fashion, I elected to put out this livestream called “Hey J&K StayInVegas Here’s Why Oakland A’s Ballpark At Tropicana Is A Great Idea”. I watched his vlog and could not disagree more with his points. So, here are mine.
1. First, I think folks should know that Jay of J&K StayInVegas is a real estate broker. He’s not shy about that, yet does not use the channel to promote his company. But I wondered if he was on the commercial side, and so checked him out. He represents Wardley Real Estate Family , which specializes in land and residential, and he says he helps people relocate from around the World. My thought is that Jay’s and his wife are great people who love Las Vegas, but if one’s in real estate, and talking about a giant real estate project like a sports and entertainment complex on the historic Tropicana property, one would be forgiven if they wondered if Jay’s interest was in having that Tropicana land available for one of his clients for housing?
2. Much has been made of the nine-acre footprint, and a number of mainstream media reporters have irresponsibly said it’s too small. Jay agrees with this, and seems to be quoting their takes. The fact is Fenway Park is nine acres, and the Boston Red Sox have done well there. Also, Los Angeles Architech Ben Garcia proved a ballpark could work on 9 acres and made a cool design for the Oakland A’s to be in Las Vegas a year and a half, ago, and at the Tropicana Hotel land. Bens’ design is the one I favor for that land, which gets to my other point. See his website called https://ift.tt/Zg5TiaA
3. The design that A’s President Dave Kaval and Brad Schrock introduce is really a place-holder. The A’s have said they are looking for a design architect as recently as two weeks ago. That’s why I favor Ben’s design. Moreover, I introduced Ben to Dave and because Ben’s creation was getting passed around the Internet, but no one credited him or focused on him, so I elected to give him a spotlight in an hour-long livestream where he talks about the concept. It’s path-breaking, and is as important now as Camden Yards was in 1993. Again, see 51https://ift.tt/Zg5TiaA
4. Now, Jay, for some strange reason, implies that the Tropicana Hotel site is “off-strip”, when it’s smack dab in the middle of the South Las Vegas Strip. Tropicana Hotel site is surrounded by major hotels: the MGM, New York, New York, Excalibur, Luxor, area all within a two blocks of the A’s Ballpark location, and Mandalay Bay is just another block away. Then, Allegiant Stadium is a quick 12 minute rideshare lift away from the ballpark. Indeed, one could even walk to it if weather permitted.
I could go on with other reasons, but the ones that are the most important have been presented.
The A’s Ballpark at Tropicana is an exciting addition to American Culture. That it’s happening in Las Vegas is part of the region’s sports economic development plan. And I have to add that the retractable roof issue is a non-issue: a roof design can be formed that fits the building and it does not have to be the full-length of the building. Look at Cowboys Stadium as one example.
Stay tuned.

The overall objective is smartphone-enabled, real-time, on the scene reporting of news, interviews, observations, and happenings anywhere in the World and within seconds and not hours.
