Speaker 1 (00:00):
Somebody who's flawting the g string right now in the
heat he's having Alex Stone's.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Okay, heat, we're a cooler than normal right now. We're
at seventy seven right now.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
What are you serious?
Speaker 2 (00:13):
She doesn't have air conditioning? Can we put together like
a GoFundMe account for her to fix her air conditioning? Yeah,
it'd be crazy in the car not to have AC.
We're gonna call it go cool me instead, that's gonna
fund me, That's what we're Yeah, I yeah, I.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
All I know is when you think of news people,
you know, who have to be on camera and so on,
it's almost a cry and shame that they don't have
a vehicle with air conditioning. And I don't know what
all's behind that, but yeah, she said she hasn't. But
she's from Florida by the way, Alex, So she's just
been in town like a couple of years, and uh yeah,
(00:47):
she's one of our meteorologists there on our local ABC
affiliate and Fox affiliate, and she's she's really like kind
of just uh, I don't know, slid her way in
and Columbus really loves her and she's doing great and
all of those things. But I was a little shocked
year she didn't have air.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
I'm like, well, I gotta work on that for that's
that's not good. With the heat that you guys are
having right now? What is it right now?
Speaker 1 (01:12):
What in sanity? It's ninety five right now, and our
heat index is I think it's about like one oh two.
It's nuts, it is, really So.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
There's some people who don't like AC. I love AC,
but I know there's some people who don't like it.
But still that that's well, that's insanely hot when you
get in your car.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Yeah, you get to a point though, even if you're
a person that doesn't like AC, I think everybody has
their breaking point. And even people who don't like AC,
I think right now they're broken. I mean they have broken.
Get in it's in front of it, yeah, I mean,
yeah that Not every correspondent would do that for you
some shaking my face back and forth.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
I like it.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
I like it. It takes a special kind of movement
to get that round. So, speaking of heat, I mean,
we know Las Vegas is I mean they're in the
throes of that going on right now, which we were
just kind of having a conversation the guy that was
in here with me a little bit ago, Alex, and
(02:10):
I was telling him that you were coming up and
we were gonna be talking about the Las Vegas A's
breaking ground on the new stadium, and I was like,
it's gonna it's it's gonna be covered because think about them, literally,
this is baseball season. There's no way they could have
a game where it's you know, one ten, right, I mean,
this has got to be a covered.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Do you remember the initial plan to save money had
no roof on.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
That's ridiculous And everybody.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Went, mmmm, we kind of they'll literally die. I mean yeah,
because it would have saved the cost of constructing the roof.
It would have saved on air conditioning and everything because
one saying closed it they've got air conditioning. But yeah,
I mean people would have been those seats would have melted,
the plastic seats, the stadium seats. So yeah, it's kind
of nuts. But today was the groundbreaking. It's been a
(02:53):
long time coming that the Ages, they tried to figure
out what their next move was gonna be. They worked
with Oakland. That didn't work out. They looked cities around
Oakland like Fremont and Sunny Vale and others, and it
seemed like they might have done that. Then that didn't happen,
and they finally got the talks done with Vegas, but
then they had to find the funding and exactly where
was the stadium going to be, what was it going
(03:13):
to look like, all these different design concepts. State lawmakers
in Nevada, they had to come back and do a
special session to even okay the funding for a new stadium.
Because they didn't do it on their own. The governor
called them back. So today was a day. They had
a countdown with golden shovels and the A's owners and
politicians and MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred, all wearing green helmets,
(03:36):
and they broke ground.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Three two one, and that begins the construction of the
A's new stadium in Vegas.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
And youth baseball and softball players and special Olympics had
children made. They kind of led everything today welcoming the
A's to Vegas, saying that they will be the future
fans and the future players, and Rob Manfred sayd.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Vegas has proven itself to be a great sports town
and a great host to professional franchises, all of us
at Major League Baseball all the owners are excited to
be adding Major League Baseball to the entertainment alternatives that
are available here in southern Nevada.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Yeah, only in Vegas. Can you say that a Major
League Baseball team is an entertainment alternative. You're like, Zach,
We're just offering up an entertainment alternative by bringing in
Major League Baseball. But it's going to sit where the
Tropicana was before it was imploded a couple of months ago,
and they do have the planet kind of looks like
this sit in the opera house. It's going to be
climate controlled covered. The outfield is going to be like
(04:42):
the beyond the outfield to be a wall of glass
that's going to look out over the strip and the
MGM grand will be right there looking out of the outfield.
Speaker 4 (04:49):
Cool.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Yeah, and it'll be kind of kind of like Allegiant
Stadium has where one side of it is a wall
of glass looking at the strip, but they're on the
other side of the freeway. Up to three hundred and
eighty million of it is going to come from public funding.
The rest is going to come from the a's and
from bank loans and the VATA Governor Joe Lombardo today saying, hey,
let's get going build it tonight.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
I anticipate that the pile drivers behind me are going
to be hitting the ground sometime this evening, and in
twenty twenty eight, we're going to be throwing a pitch
across that plate.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
So the plan is that the Las Vegas A's that
they will play at the stadium beginning in twenty twenty eight,
but we all know, I mean, it can it could
be longer than that once things get slowed down and
they really get building, but or could go earlier. So
far in La came out earlier than they expected, so
we'll see where it goes. But there's been anger not
only in Oakland for them leaving, but in Sacramento, where
they're playing right now at the River Catz Stadium, at
(05:39):
a minor league baseball stadium, because Sacramento is not getting
a love right now. It's not in their name. They're
only the Athletics, no city attached to them right now.
They're only the A's. They're not really getting acknowledged at
all for playing in Sacramento. So as happy as people
in Sacramento are to have a major league baseball team,
they're also kind of like, huh, they're here for four years,
give us some love to our city so people know
(06:00):
where we are. But now they're like, what three years
until they they become the Las vegas As when they
get this thing done.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Yeah, man, that's something I'll do when I'm out there. Absolutely.
Yeah the thing. I was like, well, I have thirty
three thousand, that's it. But as a entertainment alter, I
guess they're going, yeah, that's enough seats. I guess I don't.
I thought it was kind of small as far as
the amount of fans, but.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Yeah, it's not gonna be the amount of land there
though if you think it just true Cana was, and
but it feels if you've gone into Allegiance Stadium, it
feels so good when you go in and the air
conditioning's on and it's like perfect temperature in there. So
now they'll do that. Can you imagine though, if they
had not put that roof on there, it would have
been dangerous.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Now you'd have had thirty three fans in there and
seat exactly man Alex Stone ABC News in Los Angeles
where it's only seventy something to grease.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Oh, it's amazing.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Enjoy that man out on your patio to.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
Got the guns out. Take this shirt off. Look at that.
