On Monday, John Fisher, the owner of the Athletics, talked to many people. He said, "We are Vegas' team." Behind him, there was a lot of dirt and big trucks for the new stadium.
Rob Manfred and other important people watched the team start building a new baseball park. It will cost a lot of money and hold many people. It should 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 be ready in 2028. The workers are here and ready to work."
"It's good to see this day. It will help our town and the building project. There will be jobs. You will see the building grow soon."
Badain worked for the Raiders football team before. He helped them move to Las Vegas in 2020. He also helped build their big new stadium.
The Raiders played in Oakland for three years. They shared the stadium with the A's. Many Raiders fans were happy. But A's fans were angry because the Raiders were leaving.
The team could not stay in Oakland, so they left the old stadium last year. Now, they play in West Sacramento for a few years. Then, they will move to Las Vegas.
We are a team from this town, Fisher said. We want young fans. If children like us, their parents will like us too. It is not difficult. It is difficult to win games.
We want to grow. Making a team is like making other things. It can take a long time. Like making a big building! We think we have good players to win.
Bally's will build a stadium. It will be on their land. The old buildings were taken down to make room for it.
The A's team wants to play well in their new city. They also want to get ready for their new city in the future. The players have two different pictures on their shirts. One picture is for Sacramento, and the other is for Las Vegas. This is part of a three-year deal with Las Vegas.
The Las Vegas group said yes to papers for the A's team. This is a big step for the A's to be the team in Las Vegas.
The new stadium looks like the Sydney Opera House. You can see the Las Vegas Strip from a window. Cool air will come from the seats.
This stadium will be very small. The Tampa Bay Rays team plays in Tropicana Field. It has about 25,000 seats when the top is closed. If it is open, it has almost 40,000 seats.
The Rays are playing at a new park because of a storm. Their real home is broken. They might get new owners soon.
Cleveland plays at Progressive Field. Now, 34,830 people can sit there. It was bigger in 1994.
The A's team might move to Las Vegas. Three big teams are already there: the Raiders, the Golden Knights, and the Aces.
Manfred said, "Many people live here. Other sports are popular. Many tourists come here. So, this place is good for our team." He also said, "I think this team will do very well in Las Vegas."
