New renderings of proposed A's Las Vegas ballpark released
Not one for public appearances through the relocation process up to this point, A's owner John Fisher was there to announce the team's partnership with the LVCVA and that the Athletics will be wearing Las Vegas sleeve patches on their jerseys beginning this year. A's star players arrived to show off the new look in front of the Sphere welcoming the green and gold to town.
"I think everybody who sees that will be reminded, okay, the A's are moving to Las Vegas and that's an exciting time for us," said Fisher.
The A's plan to break ground on their new ballpark at some point mid-year and relocate to Las Vegas in 2028. In the meantime, the team will don the letters of their future home.
