City Of Las Vegas Pushes Cashman Center As Potential Stadium Site

As Southern Nevada continues to debate whether or not it should pursue building an NFL stadium, officials with the City of Las Vegas are advocating Cashman Center as a potential location for it.

The Las Vegas City Council passed a motion at its meeting yesterday to push the site as a good spot for the stadium to go, according to the Las Vegas Sun.

The site is currently home to the Las Vegas 51s minor league baseball team, which has said publicly in the past it wants to move out of Cashman, potentially to Summerlin.

There is also a theater and exhibition space at the property, which is owned by the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority.

The Southern Nevada Tourism Infrastructure Committee has until the end of September to make a recommendation to the governor's office as to where a stadium could be built – if it should be built at all.

The committee will hold its next meeting next week.
