Photos: A's Release New Renderings of Proposed $1.5B Las Vegas MLB Stadium

Andrew PetersOct 17, 2024

The Oakland Athletics are getting a new city and stadium in the coming years, and the team recently released some renderings of what the stadium in Las Vegas could look like.

Unlike The Coliseum in Oakland, the new ballpark seems like it will have a roof based on the photos. The recent renderings of the proposed $1.5 billion stadium showed the new roof and other details from the exterior.

According to MLB.com, the new stadium, located on the Las Vegas Strip, will hold 33,000 peopleโ€”significantly less than The Coliseum, which holds nearly 60,000 people.

Though it is covered by a roof, the stadium features the "world's largest cable-net glass window" to provide "an outdoor feel with views of the city's skyline." Fans will have no trouble seeing stats for their favorite players inside the new stadium, as it will have an 18,000-square-foot video board, the largest of any MLB ballpark.

Per KTVU, the construction companies hired to build the new stadium plan to break ground in the spring of 2025 with a goal of it being ready for Opening Day in 2028. In the meantime, the A's will play their home games at Sutter Health Park in Sacramento.

The ballpark is home to the Triple-A Sacramento River Cats and has a capacity of 14,000. The agreement allows the Athletics to play in Sacramento from 2025 to 2027 with the option to play there in 2028 if stadium construction is not yet completed in Las Vegas.

In their final season in Oakland, the A's finished 69-93, showing some minor improvement from the previous two years but still failing to make the postseason for a fourth consecutive season.
