Hey there!
It looks like a Major League Baseball team is about to call Sin City home! The Oakland Athletics are ditching their old digs in Oakland and hitting the road to Las Vegas, with plans to settle down for good in 2028. But before they take the field in their new home, they'll be playing in Sacramento for a temporary three-year gig while their swanky new ballpark is being built.
You know that iconic landmark on the Las Vegas Strip? The demolished Tropicana casino resort? Yep, that's where the future A's stadium will be right smack dab in the center of the action. Groundbreaking on the stadium is set to go down this spring.
With a price tag of $1.75 billion, the project is estimated to be finished by 2028. Team owner Jon Fisher is chippin' in a whopping $1.1 billion. The rest of the dough is being secured through a $300 million loan from Goldman Sachs and US Bank, and by looking for investors to buy some equity in the franchise.
So there you have it! The story on the Oakland A's making their way to Vegas and building that sparkly new ballpark right on the Las Vegas Strip. Can't wait to see 'em slug it out on the field!
