Work on the Athletics ballpark site is starting to show progress a month after initial grading began on the site of the future $1.75 billion Strip ballpark.
Crews are drilling holes that will be filled with reinforcing steel and concrete and serve as the foundation for the 33,000-fan capacity ballpark, according to Steve Hill, president and CEO of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority.
“As you can see, they are in the ground,” Hill said, displaying a photo of large caisson drills on the ballpark site. “We have said for over a year, maybe two, that construction would start in April of 2025 — and thanks to the county’s work and all of your (LVCVA) staff, that construction started in April of ’25.”
