On Monday, John Fisher, the owner of the Athletics team, said, "We are Vegas' team." He said this at the place where they will build the new baseball stadium. There was a lot of dirt and big trucks there.
Many people watched as the team had a party for their new baseball park. The park will cost a lot of money and hold many people. It should be ready in 2028.
Nevada will give money for the project. It is almost $380 million.
Marc Badain, the team leader, said, "I think it will be ready in 2028. The workers are here and ready to start.
"It's good to see this day. It will help our town and the building work. There will be jobs. You will see the building grow soon."
Badain worked for the Raiders team before. He helped them move to Las Vegas in 2020. He also helped build their big stadium.
The Raiders played in Oakland for three years. They shared a stadium with the A's team. Raiders fans were happy, but A's fans were angry because the Raiders were leaving.
This made it hard for the team to stay in Oakland. They played their last year in the old stadium. Now, they play in West Sacramento for a few years. They are waiting to 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 fast. It takes a long time to win games.
We want to keep making our team better. Building a team is like building something. It can take a long time. We think we have what we need to win.
Bally's owns a big piece of land. It is at Tropicana Avenue and Las Vegas Boulevard. They will build a stadium there. The stadium will be on part of the land. Old buildings were taken down to make space for it.
The A's team plays in a temporary home now. They also plan for their future home. The players have two pictures on their shirts. One picture is a bridge from Sacramento. The other picture is from Las Vegas. A company from Las Vegas helps the team for three years.
A group in Las Vegas said yes to papers for the A's team. Now 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. Cool air will come from the seats.
This stadium will be small. The Tampa Bay Rays play in Tropicana Field. It has 25,000 seats. But it can have 40,000 seats.
The Rays play in a small stadium. A big storm broke their old stadium. They do not know where they will play next. Maybe new people will own the team soon.
Cleveland plays at Progressive Field. Now, it has about 34,800 seats. It had more seats in 1994.
The A's team might move to Las Vegas. Three other 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. These three things make this a good city for our team." He also said, "I think this team will do very well in Las Vegas."
