The Oakland Athletics' transition to Las Vegas advanced with a ceremonial groundbreaking for the team's new $1.75 billion, 33,000-seat domed stadium on June 23, 2025. The ballpark is being constructed on nine acres of the 35-acre former Tropicana Las Vegas site, which was imploded in October 2024. Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred and Athletics principal owner John Fisher participated in the ceremony. The franchise expects the stadium to be ready for Opening Day in 2028.

The groundbreaking marks another step in the organization's relocation process, which includes the ongoing building of a new front office.
