Vegas A's 2028 Opening Day: Everything We Know Right Now
It's still roughly 18 months away, but 2028 Opening Day on the Las Vegas Strip is already shaping up to be one of the biggest moments in the city's sports history. Here's everything we know.
THE BALLPARK: The new Las Vegas Stadium is being built on the site of the former Tropicana Las Vegas, at the corner of Las Vegas Boulevard and Tropicana Avenue. It will seat 33,000 fans and feature a climate-controlled dome — not a luxury, but a necessity for Las Vegas summers.
THE COST: The project carries a $2 billion price tag, with the Athletics having spent $400 million to date. The project remains on time and on budget.
THE TIMELINE: Construction will continue year-round toward an anticipated completion date in early 2028, ahead of the baseball season.
THE EXPERIENCE: The ballpark will include a new casino resort and a separate, adjacent sports-themed attraction — making it unlike any baseball destination in the country. This won't just be a ballpark. It will be an entertainment complex built for the Las Vegas lifestyle.
THE TEAM: With Kurtz, Wilson, and De Vries coming through the pipeline, and a young pitching staff developing, the 2028 roster could be genuinely competitive. The goal isn't just to show up — it's to contend.
For Vegas fans, 2028 can't come soon enough.
