Las Vegas Stadium Authority’s chairman said the Athletics should break ground on their $1.75 billion Las Vegas Strip ballpark in June, keeping the project on track for a 2028 debut.
With the A’s ballpark process following a blueprint of sorts from the Raiders and the buildup to Allegiant Stadium construction, the lead up to an A’s stadium groundbreaking ceremony could follow a path similar to that of the Silver and Black, stadium authority chairman Steve Hill said.
With a construction timeline of 31 to 33 months, a substantial completion would fall sometime between January and March of 2028, the year the A’s expect to start playing in Las Vegas.
Adding Badain, who oversaw the building of Allegiant Stadium as president of the Raiders, to the executive team that will lead the project forward has A’s owner John Fisher even more confident that the team will be playing ball in Southern Nevada in three years.
“He’s not only a great guy, but he also brings a wealth of experience in building one of the great sports venues in the world (Allegiant Stadium) and doing it in the town where we want to build one of the great sports venues in the world,” Fisher told Review-Journal last week. “The ability to have him leading our organization as we embark on the next three years of building both a stadium and excitement in our market and with the community in Las Vegas is something we’re just thrilled about.”
