The Athletics gave a rundown Thursday of what to expect as their Las Vegas ballpark progress moves into the new year and beyond.
Using an animated 3D computer model, the A’s showed the Las Vegas Stadium Authority a detailed presentation of how the stadium will begin to come together over time, as the project remains on track for its early 2028 completion date.
“The current schedule is for a lot of work to occur on the seating stands between now and early summer of 2026,” Dean said. “I think the next really significant thing that we’ll see will be steel going up for the roof structure. … Essentially they’ll build some supports inside the stadium to support the arches, so the arches can be completed and support themselves.”
Stadium Authority chairman Steve Hill said he doesn’t expect the A’s to tap into the up to $380 million in public funding available for the project until next year, at the earliest.
“At this point, the A’s have not asked for public funding, and they don’t have yet a guaranteed maximum price contract with Mortenson-McCarthy (stadium contractor),” Hill said. “It will probably be sometime next year (when they ask for the public funding).”
A’s brass have been working with Clark County on a series of permits, to keep things moving along on time, Dean said. There are six main permitting packages for the A’s ballpark, with the team having three of those in hand.
A’s president Marc Badain, who has already helped lead a team through relocation and stadium building process in Las Vegas with the Raiders, said he’s pleased with the progress Mortenson-McCarthy, the same contractor who built Allegiant Stadium, has made this year on the ballpark.
