On Monday morning, team owner John Fisher spoke to a big group of people with dirt and building machines behind him. He also showed where the baseball field will be. He said, "We are Vegas' team."

Many people watched as the team started building a new baseball park. Important people like Rob Manfred from MLB, local leaders, and famous former players were there. Young baseball players and others also watched. The new park will cost $1.75 billion and can hold 33,000 people. It should be ready for the 2028 season.

Nevada and Clark County have agreed to give up to $380 million of public money for the project.

Team president Marc Badain said he was sure it would be done in 2028. He said that the workers are ready to start.

It's good to see that today proves this is a good idea. In the next three years, this will bring good things for the community, like building work and jobs. You will start to see the building grow, maybe even tonight.

Badain did a similar job when he worked for the Raiders football team. He helped the team move from Oakland to Las Vegas in 2020. He also helped to get permission and build the Allegiant Stadium, which cost $2 billion.

The Raiders stayed in Oakland for three years while their new stadium was being built. They shared a stadium with the A's baseball team. The Raiders kept a good connection with their fans, even though they were leaving. But the A's fans were very angry because their team was also leaving, and they didn't like how it happened.

The team could not stay in Oakland because it was too hard, and they played their last games in the old stadium last year. Now, they are playing about an hour away in West Sacramento for at least three years, while they wait to move to Las Vegas.

We are a local team, Fisher said. We want to get young fans first. If children like us, their parents will too. It does not take much time to get fans. But it takes a long time to have a winning team.

We want to keep improving what we have already, because making a team is like building something. It can take a long time. It's like building a stadium. We believe we have everything we need to be successful.

The stadium will be built on nine acres of land. This land is part of a bigger area (35 acres) that Bally’s owns. It is at the corner of Tropicana Avenue and Las Vegas Boulevard. The old Tropicana hotel buildings were taken down at night in October. This was done to make space for the new stadium.

The A's want to do well where they are playing now and also get ready for their new home. Each A's player has a patch of Sacramento's Tower Bridge on one arm and a Las Vegas logo on the other. This is part of a three-year agreement with the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority.

In December, the Las Vegas Stadium Authority said yes to important papers. These papers are about the A's team moving to Las Vegas and building a new place. This was a big step for the A's to become the team of Las Vegas.

The stadium looks like the Sydney Opera House. It has five parts that go over each other. There is a big window behind the playing field. From there, you can see the Las Vegas Strip and feel like you are outside. The air conditioning will come from the seats, not from one central system.

This stadium will be the smallest in MLB. The Tampa Bay Rays usually play at Tropicana Field. It can hold 25,000 people when the top seats are closed. If they are open, it can hold almost 40,000 people.

The Rays are playing in a smaller stadium this year, like the A’s. This is because Hurricane Milton damaged their usual stadium. We don't know where the Rays will play in the future, and new owners might buy the team soon.

Cleveland plays baseball at Progressive Field. Now, about 34,830 people can sit there. When it opened in 1994, it had space for more people, around 43,345.

The A's baseball team is moving to Las Vegas. They will be the fourth big sports team there, joining the Raiders, Golden Knights, and Aces.

Manfred said, "I think this is a good place for our team. This is because of the people who live here, how well other sports have done, and the many tourists. I am sure this team will do very well in Las Vegas."
