Las Vegas Stadium Board to Consider Personal Seat Licenses for A's Ballpark

The board overseeing the Athletics' new Las Vegas stadium will explore selling personal seat licenses for premium seating.

Published on Feb. 14, 2026

The Las Vegas Stadium Authority board will discuss a personal seat license (PSL) marketing and sales agreement with an A's subsidiary at its upcoming meeting. PSLs allow fans to pay for the right to buy season tickets for a specific seat, with the net proceeds going towards stadium construction. Several NFL teams and some MLB clubs already use PSLs, and the A's plan to implement them only for premium seating sections of their new Las Vegas ballpark.

Why it matters

The use of PSLs is a common way for professional sports teams to help finance the construction of new stadiums and arenas. By selling these licenses, teams can generate upfront revenue to put towards the massive costs of building a new facility. This approach has been controversial at times, as it requires fans to pay additional fees just to have the ability to purchase season tickets.

The details

The agenda for the Stadium Authority board's upcoming meeting includes an item to consider a PSL marketing and sales agreement with an A's subsidiary. The agreement would give the A's the authority to market and sell the PSLs on behalf of the board, with the net proceeds going towards stadium construction. A's President Marc Badain has stated that the PSLs would only be implemented for premium seating sections of the new ballpark.

  • The Stadium Authority board meeting is scheduled for Thursday, February 13, 2026.
