Renderings for the (Oakland?) Athletics potential new stadium in Las Vegas have been unveiled.
The breathtaking ballpark would replace the iconic Tropicana Hotel and would promise to be a game-changer for both the team and the city.
Despite lingering obstacles, the Athletics took a significant step forward by revealing the plans for their Las Vegas home.
Partnering with a renowned Danish design firm, the club aims to construct a cutting-edge 33,000-seat stadium right in the heart of the Strip.
Together with @BIG_Architects and @HNTBCorp, we have unveiled the design for our new ballpark project in Las Vegas on the Tropicana site. BIG will serve as the design lead and HNTB as the sports/hospitality designer and architect of record.

While the Athletics will continue to play at Oakland’s Coliseum for the 2024 season, their future in Las Vegas is becoming increasingly likely.
With their lease set to expire, the transition to their new home is on the horizon.

The proposed site for the stadium, currently occupied by the Tropicana resort, will undergo a transformative makeover. T
he demolition of the Tropicana will pave the way for the construction of the stadium and a hotel, revitalizing the area and adding to the allure of the famed Las Vegas Strip.
So they’re just gonna copy the Sydney opera house one of the most famous architectural designs on earth

The move to Las Vegas was authorized by Major League Baseball owners in November, signaling a new chapter for the Athletics.
Supported by substantial funding of $380 million from the state and Clark County, the construction of the ballpark is poised to reshape the landscape of professional sports in Las Vegas.
As long as they can keep the heat out, not looking forward to 110 at 7pm 😂

What are your thoughts on the plans for the new stadium?
Assuming the move does actually happen, will you be visiting the stadium to watch your favorite team play the A’s?
What is currently the BEST stadium in all of baseball?
Where would this one rank if it ends up being built according to plan???
I’ve heard no less than 10 times today how the new A’s Stadium set for Las Vegas looks too much like the Sydney Opera House.
