Overview

  • The Athletics and MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred held a ceremonial groundbreaking on June 23 at Tropicana Avenue and Las Vegas Boulevard for the new 33,000-seat ballpark.
  • Owner John Fisher is covering $1.4 billion of the project’s cost, with $350 million in public funding and $300 million in loans from U.S. Bank and Goldman Sachs.
  • Designed by Bjarke Ingels Group and HNTB, the enclosed stadium will offer views of New York-New York and MGM Grand through its transparent dome.
  • The team will play at Sacramento’s Sutter Health Park under a multi-year lease until the new facility opens in April 2028.
  • The ballpark sits on nine acres of a 36-acre site owned by Bally’s Corp., which will develop an adjacent hotel-resort, and nearby MGM Resorts properties are expected to serve as event parking.
