The Athletics’ new ballpark in Las Vegas is now going to cost $1.75 billion, which is $250 million more than planned.
This budget increase is due to adding new features and rising construction costs, according to Sandy Dean from the A’s. They want the stadium to have top-notch audio and visual systems for concerts .
Ballpark Funding and Relocation:
Las Vegas officials agreed last summer to give the Athletics $380 million in public funds, while owner John Fisher will cover about $1.4 billion of the rest. Fans might wonder if this big move will pay off in the end.
After finishing their 2024 season in Oakland, the team will temporarily play in Sacramento before moving into their shiny new home in Las Vegas by 2028—assuming everything goes as planned without any hiccups.
The A’s have been part of Oakland since 1968, but soon they’ll call Las Vegas home. What do you think about this big change?
