The Oakland Athletics took a major step toward their relocation to Las Vegas with a ceremonial groundbreaking for their new $1.75 billion domed stadium on June 23, 2025.
MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred and Athletics principal owner John Fisher participated in the event at the 35-acre former Tropicana Las Vegas site, where the 33,000-seat ballpark will occupy nine acres. The Tropicana was imploded in October 2024 to make way for the project.
The franchise aims to have the stadium ready for Opening Day in 2028, marking the culmination of a years-long process to build a new front office and permanent home in Southern Nevada.
