The Oakland A’s ownership group, led by John Fisher, is using the team’s weekend spring training visit to Las Vegas as an opportunity to boast about the progress of getting a stadium co…
LAS VEGAS – The A’s are no strangers to spending a weekend during spring training in Las Vegas as part of Big League Weekend. But this is their first visit since the franchise announced its intention last year to relocate to the desert.
The team principals were excited to show off three-dimensional renderings of the proposed $1.5 billion stadium, which they hope to open in time for the 2028 season. Prior renderings released last summer were scrapped and there are other issues to sort before construction can begin: A teachers’ union hopes to put the $380 million in public funding for the stadium to a vote, and the A’s must have construction plans approved.
While continuing to work on important issues such as where the team will play next season and what to do with their, one of the main topics of discussion was developing an outreach program with the Las Vegas community in a way that their professional sports cohorts in town have done. It started with donating money to every Little League program in the state.
One of the main reasons for their success, at least in the Knights’ and Aces’ cases, has been their success in competing for and winning championships. In that regard, the A’s, who have lost more than 100 games in back-to-back seasons for the first time in their history, have some work to do before their proposed Vegas debut in 2028.
“I don’t think there’s any preferred option,” Kaval said. “We want to make sure we’re thoughtful about how we make a decision. We’re working with a lot of stakeholders. We have broadcast partners. We have the league. We have ourselves. We have the union. All of those people have to coalesce around a decision that makes sense. And obviously we have to come up with a decision in the summer, because that’s when the schedule comes out.
