"The A's, who are scheduled to move to Las Vegas before the 2028 season, met their year-end goals of beginning the concrete phase, having cranes in place and putting in the first buttress and concrete column. A's President Marc Badain also was instrumental in getting Allegiant Stadium built in time for the 2020 NFL season, when he had the same title with the Raiders. Mortenson-McCarthy built Allegiant and is the contractor for the A's new venue."
"I think we're through a lot of the processes and design that were contributing to escalation, Dean said. Our strong goal is to keep it to that. Nevada and Clark County have approved up to $380 million in public funds for the ballpark, and the A's have said they will cover the remaining expenses. Owner John Fisher has been seeking investors, but Dean said he didn't have an update on that effort."
The Athletics are progressing toward opening an approximately $2 billion, 33,000-seat domed stadium on the Las Vegas Strip in time for their planned move before the 2028 season. Year-end construction milestones were met, including the start of the concrete phase, cranes in place, and installation of the first buttress and concrete column. Mortenson-McCarthy is the contractor, with leadership experienced from Allegiant Stadium. A ceremonial groundbreaking occurred June 23 and a Ballpark Experience Center opened for fan engagement. The estimated cost rose from $1.5 billion to $1.75 billion and to the current figure; Nevada and Clark County approved up to $380 million in public funds while the team plans to cover remaining costs, and ownership continues to seek investors.
