Las Vegas Stadium Authority Approves Key Agreements for A’s $1.75 Billion Ballpark
The approval clears a major hurdle for the Athletics' relocation, with construction set to begin in 2025 and an opening planned for 2028.
- The Las Vegas Stadium Authority approved 30-year lease, non-relocation, and development agreements, enabling the Athletics to move forward with their new stadium project.
- The ballpark's cost has risen to $1.75 billion due to inflation and additional fan and player amenities, with owner John Fisher committing $1.1 billion of private funding.
- Nevada and Clark County will contribute $380 million in public funding, while U.S. Bank and Goldman Sachs have provided a $300 million loan commitment for the project.
- The A’s plan to break ground in the spring of 2025, with the stadium expected to open for the 2028 MLB season on the Las Vegas Strip.
- During construction, the team will play home games at Sutter Health Park in Sacramento, marking a temporary move after 57 years in Oakland.
