Oakland A's Scouting Temporary Locations as New Las Vegas Ballpark Completion Delayed
Fans express frustration as team explores options including minor league ballparks for 2025-2027 seasons.
- The Oakland Athletics are in need of a new ballpark starting in 2025 as their lease in the Californian city ends after the following season and their new ballpark in Las Vegas will only be completed in 2028.
- The A's are considering several locations for their temporary home, including Sutter Heath Park in Sacramento, Smith’s Ballpark in Salt Lake City, and the Sacramento Rivercats stadium.
- The A's have the lowest attendance in Major League Baseball, averaging just 10,276 fans at home games in 2023.
- The A's management denied permission for a minor league team, the Oakland Ballers, to play a game at the Coliseum, triggering backlash from fans.
- The A's new stadium in Las Vegas is a $1.5 billion, 33,000-seat facility.
