Las Vegas Ballpark Construction Milestone for Athletics Team

The Athletics' new Las Vegas ballpark has reached a significant construction milestone with the pouring of the first concrete for the lower concourse. This milestone was officially marked on Friday, as the construction camera documented the progress of the $2 billion stadium.

The lower concourse will feature the first level of seating, including suites and clubs situated behind home plate and along the baselines. According to the Athletics' social media post, this concrete work represents the initial steps toward creating an elevated section of the ballpark.

The construction of the ballpark commenced over the summer and is projected to be completed by early 2028. This new facility is expected to host the Athletics in their inaugural game during Big League Weekend against the Angels in 2026.

As the project continues to evolve, an update on the construction is anticipated to be provided at the upcoming Las Vegas Stadium Authority meeting scheduled for December 4. The development underlines the city's growing sports landscape and promises to enhance Las Vegas' appeal as a tourism destination.

The Athletics, who previously played in Oakland, are making this significant investment as part of their transition to Las Vegas, further solidifying the city's reputation as a hub for major league sports.

This construction milestone not only reflects the team's commitment to the Las Vegas community but also signifies the city's ambition to expand its sports offerings in a competitive market.
