A's to Hold Las Vegas Stadium Groundbreaking on Monday
CLARK COUNTY, NEVADA, JUN 23 – The $1.75 billion stadium will seat 33,000 fans and receive $380 million in public funding to secure the Athletics' relocation and strengthen Las Vegas' sports market.
- The Oakland Athletics will hold a groundbreaking ceremony on Monday at 8 a.m. in Nevada to start building their new Las Vegas ballpark.
- The event follows years of efforts fueled by the team's inability to secure a new stadium in Oakland and legislative approval of funding in Nevada in 2023.
- The $1.5 billion stadium will be built on a 49-acre site at the intersection of Tropicana Avenue and Dean Martin Drive, with construction set to begin in May 2025.
- Major League Baseball owners unanimously approved the A's relocation to Las Vegas on November 16, 2023, and Commissioner Rob Manfred expects the stadium to open on time for the 2028 season.
- The groundbreaking marks a new phase, transitioning from planning to construction, with the ballpark expected to host 33,000 fans and establish the Athletics' new home by 2028.
