The team is hosting three games against the Milwaukee Brewers and three against the Colorado Rockies at Las Vegas Park this week. The series is intended to introduce future fans to the club before its planned relocation.
ForbesThe Athletics are playing six regular-season games in Las Vegas this week, three against the Milwaukee Brewers and three against the Colorado Rockies, at the Triple-A ballpark that shares the city’s name. The series is part of an effort to build local interest ahead of the team’s scheduled move to a new stadium on the Las Vegas Strip in 2028.
Background on the Relocation In November 2023, Major League Baseball approved the Athletics’ relocation from Oakland to Las Vegas. Nevada committed $380 million toward a $1.5 billion stadium, with the team’s owner responsible for the remaining costs.
The club’s lease at the Oakland Coliseum ended after the 2024 season, prompting a temporary move to Sutter Health Park in West Sacramento, where the team has played without a city name on its uniforms but with a Las Vegas sleeve patch.
Vegas sits at an average elevation above 2,000 feet with typical baseball-season temperatures ranging from 90 to 107 degrees. The new stadium is planned with a fixed, covered roof, but those features are not present at the current Triple-A venue. Monday’s 12-inning game produced 29 runs on 34 hits and 11 home runs in 87-degree weather at first pitch.
Tuesday’s contest yielded 12 runs and six home runs at 94 degrees, while Wednesday’s game ended 4-3 with seven runs and five home runs in 102-degree heat. After Sunday’s finale against Colorado, the Athletics have no additional games scheduled in Las Vegas until the new park opens in 2028.
