Athletics will not play in Las Vegas in three years, but a marketing agreement is already underway to help develop a fan connection to the city while the team plays their MLB home matches in Sacramento.
During the deal between A’s and approximately, central Las Vegas resort gives away a two -water journey after each of A’s 13 home support in California’s capital this season.
Dubbed the circa homestand giveaway, the trips are valued at $ 3,500 EACH AND INCLUDE A Two-night Stay in a suite, A $ 500 Airline Gift Card, Limo Transportation, A Legacy Club Reservation With A $ 300 Credit, A Reservation at Barry’s Swim Cabit and Fans can register for giveaway online on Sweepstake’s website.
The marketing agreement also includes signs from the plant’s sports book arm, Circa Sports, on the left outfield wall in Sutter Health Park and advertising that is broadcast under A’s broadcasts. Approximately will not be the only Sin City connection on the outfield wall: signage with a trio of “Las Vegas” logos also reaches the wall, as part of a marketing agreement with the Las Vegas Convention and the Visitor Agency.
“Every home gesture in Sacramento we wanted to give people a bit of a future connection to Las Vegas,” Circa co-owner Derek Stevens to The Review-Journal said. “We have this marketing agreement with A’s … But we don’t want to look like we just post these ads. We try to give something here and get people happy about the entire Vegas business.”
Stevens began meeting A’s brass early in the team’s Las Vegas moving search and he maintained close contact as the situation has played out over the past four years.
The casino mogul has said that he was looking to cooperate with the A’s in some form when the team arrives at the city in 2028 and to enter in front of it is a way to help build speed before the team’s planned $ 1.75 billion ballpark makes its strip. He called the marketing agreement with the team a good first business step.
“Derek has been a good partner,” said A President Marc Badain. “He is a big baseball fan and he has supported the project. He is really excited to have something similar, where he can help support and market the team.”
Stevens has no plans to stop there; He is actively looking to bring Green and Gold’s games to local TV.
“It’s a critical next step, but it will happen, I just don’t know when,” said Stevens. “It is really important for society to know who Lawrence Butler is, Mason Miller and Brent Rooker. Right now there is not enough name recognition for all these amazing young players. We work with the A’s to try to get something similar to go and really try to pave the way for those who come to Las Vegas.”
