BIG Breaks Ground on Armadillo-Inspired MLB Stadium in Las Vegas | stupidDOPE | Est. 2008
Briefly

The Las Vegas Strip is set to welcome a new baseball stadium designed by BIG (Bjarke Ingels Group) for the Athletics, marking its first baseball venture. Located between Tropicana and Reno Avenues, the stadium's unique layered design features five arched, wedge-shaped volumes resembling a baseball pennant and an armadillo. This project is seen as both a culmination of a long-term partnership between BIG and the Athletics and an evolution from previous plans for a waterfront stadium in Oakland, focusing on creating a connection between fans and the game.
BIG’s design features five arched, overlapping volumes, each wedge-shaped in a nod to the iconic baseball pennant, creating a striking architectural landmark.
This Las Vegas iteration offers a more grounded reality—and a bolder vision—emphasizing the stadium's dual role as a world-class sports venue and architectural gem.
