The Oakland Athletics broke ground on their new $1.75 billion ballpark in Las Vegas, which will have a capacity of 33,000 and is set to be completed by 2028. Team owner John Fisher emphasized the team's commitment to Las Vegas, while MLB commissioner Rob Manfred and other dignitaries attended the ceremony. Nevada and Clark County have approved $380 million in public funding for the project. Team president Marc Badain expressed confidence in meeting the 2028 timeline, citing the skilled workforce ready to start construction immediately.
With mounds of dirt, construction vehicles and the exact location where home plate will be at the new A's Ballpark serving as the backdrop Monday morning, team owner John Fisher stood in front of a large gathering with one message: 'We are Vegas' team.'
