The Oakland Athletics held a ceremonial groundbreaking on June 23, 2025, for a $1.75 billion, 33,000-seat domed stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada. The ballpark is being constructed on nine acres of the 35-acre former Tropicana Las Vegas site, which was imploded in October 2024. MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred and Athletics principal owner John Fisher participated in the ceremony. The team expects the stadium to be ready for Opening Day in 2028.
As the franchise prepares for its relocation, the front office faces an atypical offseason, balancing roster decisions with the long-term move to Las Vegas. The groundbreaking marks a significant milestone in the Athletics' transition from Oakland to their new home.
