The Athletics have unveiled updated renderings of their proposed $1.75 billion new ballpark along the Las Vegas strip, as new details have emerged about the project.
Located on the former site of the Tropicana hotel, the team expects to break ground on the 33,000-seat stadium during the second quarter of this year with a target date of opening in time for the 2028 season. It is being designed by Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) and HNTB.
The team began taking deposits for season tickets on Friday, with the $19.01 cost representing the year the franchise was established in 1901.
The renderings show the bullpens for both teams stacked together beyond the left-field wall, along with a shortened foul territory that the team said would allow for the closest seats to the field of any stadium in Major League Baseball.
The renderings were unveiled during a Las Vegas Stadium Authority meeting at the Las Vegas Convention Center on Thursday, ahead of the A’s two-game exhibition series against the Arizona Diamondbacks at Las Vegas Ballpark this weekend.
The franchise left Oakland after last season and is slated to play in Sacramento for the next three seasons.
