The A's are breaking ground on their future home field in Las Vegas, marking a significant transition as they close their final season in Oakland.

It was dedicated in 1961 by Arkansas representative Oren Harris as "a long, long dream come true," and "a symbol that a country can be as great as it is strong and healthy."

Among the new structure's most hyped features is the South Stand, a single stand running from pitch to roof that will accommodate 14,000 fans.

The climate's changed, the building environment has changed, [and] goodness knows how we're going for resources.

The construction of Ebbets Field began on March 14, 1912, and cost $750,000, which is equivalent to more than $22 million today. Designed by Clarence Randall Van Buskirk, this new stadium brought a modern twist to baseball, allowing the Dodgers to expand their capacity and ultimately host a diverse array of sporting events.
