John Fisher owns the Athletics team. On Monday, he stood in front of many people. He was near the new baseball park. There was dirt and big trucks. He said, "We are Vegas' team."
Many people watched as the team started building a new baseball park. It will cost a lot of money and hold many fans. The park should be ready in 2028.
Nevada and Clark County will give money for the project. It is up to $380 million.
Marc Badain said, "I think it will be ready in 2028. The people here are ready to start work."
"It's good to see this day. It will help our town and the building project. There will be jobs. You will see this 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 a stadium with the A's team. The Raiders moved to a new stadium. Some A's fans were very angry because their team might also leave.
Because of that, the team could not stay in Oakland. They played their last games in the old stadium last year. Now, the team is playing near Sacramento for some years. They are waiting to move to Las Vegas.
We are a team from this town, Fisher said. We want young fans. If kids like us, their parents will like us too. It is not hard. The hard part is to win games.
We want to keep making our team better. Making a team is like making something else. It can take a long time. We think we have what we need to win.
A new stadium will be built in Las Vegas. It will be on a big piece of land near Tropicana Avenue and Las Vegas Boulevard. Old buildings were taken down to make space for it.
The A's team wants to play well in their temporary home. They also want to get ready for their new home. Each player has two pictures on their shirts. One picture is for Sacramento, and the other is for Las Vegas. This is for three years with Las Vegas.
The Las Vegas group said yes to papers for the A's team. This means the A's team can move to Las Vegas soon.
The new stadium looks like the Sydney Opera House. It has a big window. You can see the city from the window. The air conditioning comes from the seats.
This stadium is small. Tampa Bay Rays play in Tropicana Field. It can hold 25,000 people. Sometimes the top seats are closed. Then it can hold almost 40,000 people.
The Rays play in a small stadium now. Their big stadium was broken. We don't know where they will play next. Maybe new people will buy the team.
Cleveland plays at Progressive Field. Now, 34,830 people can sit there. It was bigger in 1994.
The A's team may come to Las Vegas. Other big teams are already there, like the Raiders and the Golden Knights.
Manfred said, "Many people live here. Other sports are popular. Many tourists come here. So, this is a good place for us." He also said, "I think this team will be very good in Las Vegas."
