Athletics Begin Transition to Las Vegas with Jersey Patch Partnership

The MLB team will promote its future Las Vegas home while playing in Sacramento for three seasons before the planned 2028 move.

The Athletics announced a three-year marketing partnership with the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, featuring a 'Las Vegas' jersey patch debuting this season.
The team will play in Sacramento's Sutter Health Park until their proposed $1.75 billion Las Vegas stadium is completed, with groundbreaking expected this spring.
Updated stadium renderings reveal a 33,000-seat ballpark with a partially retractable roof and intimate seating, planned for a 2028 opening on the former Tropicana site.
The Athletics have significantly increased their offseason spending, securing key players like Luis Severino and Brent Rooker with long-term deals to strengthen their roster.
Doubts remain about the move's timeline and funding, as critics point to the lack of finalized legal agreements and construction progress.
