Class is in session, and today we’re torching the tired narrative that John Fisher can’t afford his end of the A’s Las Vegas ballpark. In this episode, Booney breaks down the real math behind the $2 billion stadium project—backed by cold, hard numbers and actual financing sources. From the $380 million from the State of Nevada, to a $300 million loan from Goldman Sachs and U.S. Bank, to a $175 million commitment from Aramark, the foundation is already solid. And then we get into the part that skeptics pretend doesn’t exist: John Fisher’s personal wealth, family partnerships, Gap stock, minority share sales, and the Earthquakes on the trading block. Fisher’s got the money, the tools, and the flexibility—and we’re done pretending otherwise.
Then we compare the A’s stadium financing to other major league stadiums built in the last 15 years, from Truist Park in Atlanta to Allegiant Stadium across town. You’ll see exactly how common this blend of public-private funding is, how other owners leveraged debt and revenue streams, and why the A’s project is right in line with the industry norm. This isn’t speculation—it’s confirmation. Bring your calculator, your ego, and your popcorn. Class is dismissed.
