What do we know about the Athletics new stadium in Las Vegas? Where will they play until it is finished?
Following a unanimous vote from MLB owners, the Oakland Athletics’ move to Las Vegas is now officially sealed and with that, there are a whole host of things to consider. From the potential damage to the fan base to the repercussions it could have on the roster, and of course what stadium will host them now that they’re without a home.
The Oakland A’s are on the move again but where to?
Though you might not have known, the A’s move to Sin City is actually the fourth time in the franchise’s History that it has relocated. Initially founded in Philadelphia in 1901, the Athletics would later move to Kansas City in 1955, before shifting to Oakland in 1968. As is now evident, the team’s time in the Bay Area is up and there is a proposed $1.5 billion ballpark outfitted with a retractable roof on the Las Vegas Strip that awaits. Until it’s projected 2028 opening, however, the A’s are going to have to find someplace to play, and by the looks of things, the situation is layered.
Where will they play?
While there were early suggestions that the A’s could play in Oracle Park and even in the Triple-A Las Vegas Ballpark while their new home was being built, it has now been confirmed that the A’s will play from 2025 through at least 2027 at West Sacramento’s Sutter Health Park. A’s owner Fisher and Vivek Ranadivé, owner of the Kings and the minor-league River Cats, made the announcement in April of the temporary arrangement, while the Athletics’ permanent home in Las Vegas is being built.
