The drama surrounding the Oakland Athletics' new stadium in Las Vegas is far from over.

The Athletic's Evan Drellich reported Monday a political action committee representing a teachers union in Nevada has filed suit challenging the legislation that paved the way for the venue's funding.

Last June, Nevada Gov. Joe Lombardo signed a bill that earmarked $380 million in public funds toward the A's stadium, which has a total price tag of $1.5 billion. While that didn't represent a final step in securing the Athletics' future in Las Vegas, it was seemingly one of the biggest steps remaining.
