On Monday, John Fisher from the Athletics team stood in front of people. He said, "We are Vegas' team." There was dirt and building trucks behind him. You could see where the baseball field will be.
The baseball team started building their new stadium. Many important people and old players were there. The stadium will be very big and cost a lot. It will be ready in 2028.
Nevada and Clark County will give money for the project. It is 380 million dollars.
Marc Badain said, "I think it will finish in 2028. The workers are here. They are ready to start.
"It's good to see this day! It will be good for our town, the building, and jobs. You will see it all soon."
Badain worked for the Raiders football team before. He helped them move from Oakland to Las Vegas in 2020. He also helped build their big new stadium.
The Raiders played in Oakland for three years. They shared a stadium with the A's. They waited for their new stadium. Some fans were sad and angry because the Raiders were leaving.
The team could not stay in Oakland, so they left last year. Now, they play in West Sacramento, California, for a few years. Then, they will move to Las Vegas.
Fisher said, "We are a team from this town. We want young fans first. If children like us, their parents will like us too. It is not hard to get fans. It is hard to win games.
We want to make our team better. It needs time, like building a stadium. We have good players to be very good.
They will build a new stadium. It will be on land that Bally's owns. This land is at Tropicana Avenue and Las Vegas Boulevard. They took down the old buildings to make space for the stadium.
The A's team wants to play well in Sacramento. They are also getting ready for Las Vegas. The players have two pictures on their shirts. One picture is for Sacramento. The other picture is for Las Vegas. This is for three years with Las Vegas.
A group in Las Vegas said yes to papers. This means the A's team can move to Las Vegas.
The stadium looks like the Sydney Opera House. You can see the Las Vegas Strip from a window. Air conditioning will come from the seats.
This stadium will be small. The Tampa Bay Rays play in Tropicana Field. It has 25,000 seats when some parts are closed. It has almost 40,000 seats when they are open.
The Rays team cannot play in their normal stadium because a big storm broke it. Now, they play in a small stadium. We do not know where they will play later. Maybe new people will own the team soon.
Cleveland plays at Progressive Field. Now, it has about 34,000 seats. It had more seats in 1994.
The A's team may come to Las Vegas. Other teams are already there, like the Raiders and Golden Knights.
Manfred said, "Many people live here. Other sports are popular. Many tourists come here. These three things make this a good place for our team." He also said, "I think this team will do very well in Las Vegas."
