The Athletics revealed new renderings of their proposed Las Vegas ballpark at the Las Vegas Stadium Authority meeting on Thursday, per Nick Walters of KTNV Channel 13 Las Vegas.

Per Doug Puppel of Engineering News-Record, the stadium is estimated to cost $1.75 billion, with groundbreaking set for mid-2025. The current timeline has the building being ready in early 2028.

The stadium is being built at the old location of the Tropicana Las Vegas on the Las Vegas Strip.

Per athletics.com, the new ballpark will have "the closest seats to home plate and the smallest foul territory" in the majors. In the hot Vegas heat, the stadium also promises an "outdoor feel with a climate-controlled interior" and an "outdoor cable net glass wall featuring iconic views of the Strip."

The Athletics will mark the fourth major professional sports team in Vegas, following the WNBA's Aces, the NHL's Golden Knights and the NFL's Raiders.

In the interim, the Athletics, which ended their 57-year tenure in Oakland this past year, will play in Sacramento's Sutter Health Park, home of the Triple-A Sacramento River Cats.
