New Renderings Show How A’s Ballpark Would Transform Las Vegas Strip
The Proposed Stadium
The $1.5 billion "multi-purpose, enclosed ballpark" on the Las Vegas Strip could become the new home of the Las Vegas Athletics MLB franchise in 2028. The stadium would be a 373,000-square-foot facility, reaching a height of 320 feet, with a capacity of 30,000 seats and 3,000 standing room occupants.
Design and Features
The proposed ballpark would feature field-level seating, a lower suite level with a team store and press facilities, an upper suite level, an upper concourse level, and an upper deck level. The stadium would be the smallest in terms of capacity among the 30 major league stadiums, ranking below Progressive Field, home of the Cleveland Guardians, which seats 34,830.
Las Vegas Strip Access and Parking
The venue would have eight driveway entrances along Las Vegas Boulevard, Reno Avenue, and Tropicana Avenue, as well as pedestrian bridges leading to the entrance area. The design acknowledges the importance of alternative transportation options, including Uber and Lyft, taxis, RTC transit, shuttle buses, limousines, walking paths, and the Las Vegas Loop.
Integrated Resort and Hotel
The proposed ballpark would be part of a larger development, including a new resort and hotel designed to complement the ballpark’s design. The integrated resort would share a parking garage and some roadways with the new ballpark. The parking garage would have 11 levels, with 9 levels above street level and 2 below, providing 2,500 parking spaces.
Hotel and Suites
The hotel tower would be part of phase one, standing 495 feet tall and featuring 33 guest room levels between the fourth and 36th floors, as well as three suite levels on the 37th, 38th, and 39th floors.
Conclusion
The proposed A’s ballpark would be a major asset for the community and a tourist attraction, hosting various events beyond baseball games. Its location and proximity to other compatible uses make it an ideal location for the proposed ballpark and accessory uses.
