    Heard in the news today the Oakland As bought 49 acres of land at that location to build a new stadium. I don't truck out there no more but use too, that was a nice spot. If I'm guessing the truck stop will be gone in place for the stadium, so they gonna move from the dumpy coliseum to land that has been deficated if that's a word, lol you know used a public bathroom for years by truck drivers and other discussing deeds on that property lol.
    But in the long run it sucks to be losing truck parking

    I don't think that property is near big enough for a stadium. The Wild West Hotel and Casino has been closed for a while now. It will be torn down and developed into something else. It was only a matter of time as that property value is crazy high being just across the freeway from the big Casino complexes. And that hotel had seen a lot better days.

    Sad to lose that close to the strip truck parking though.

    Like I said they bought a total of 49 acres starting with the wild west property, gonna be interesting to watch the development, I know there was a you tuber that documented the football stadium when that was being built wonder if they'll do the same

    Must be an indoor / cooled stadium? I’d think football there would be hot as hell.

    As if traffic wasn't bad enough already. That area, off of Tropicana and I-15, is already bumper-to-bumper all day. They keep belly-aching about the water shortage here, yet they keep building and building.
     
    silverspur, bzinger and Oxbow Thank this.

    That should be good. Toronto has had the Skydome since 1989 and it’s great.
