Amidst swirling uncertainties and fervent speculations, MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred has delivered a resounding vote of confidence, affirming that the Oakland Athletics are primed to commence their home games in their state-of-the-art new stadium nestled in the vibrant cityscape of Las Vegas, come the heralded 2028 season.

Manfred, in a poignant address on Thursday, candidly acknowledged the formidable challenges inherent in orchestrating such a monumental relocation, emphasizing the inevitability of encountering unforeseen hurdles along the arduous path towards establishing a new sporting sanctuary in the bustling environs of Las Vegas. However, his unwavering conviction in the resilience and fortitude of the Athletics organization has imbued him with an unwavering belief in the successful fruition of this ambitious endeavor.
“The reality of the situation is that whenever you’re leaving a market where you’ve been for decades and you’re going to make a move to a different city where there’s not a stadium, that’s a really difficult undertaking, and it’s not going to be seamless, smooth. There’s going to be bumps along the road,” Manfred solemnly articulated, his words resonating with a profound sense of gravitas and foresight.
Moreover, Manfred’s palpable optimism regarding the solidity of the Las Vegas deal and the adequacy of the proposed stadium parcel for accommodating a major league ballpark has instilled a renewed sense of hope and anticipation among fervent baseball enthusiasts and loyal A’s supporters alike.
In a bid to curate an unparalleled game-day experience that transcends mere sporting spectacles, Manfred elucidated on the meticulous deliberations between stakeholders, including Bally’s and the A’s, aimed at optimizing the design and functionality of the new stadium to cater to the diverse needs and preferences of fans, thereby ensuring an immersive and unforgettable ambiance for all attendees.
As the Oakland Athletics stand poised on the precipice of a transformative chapter in their storied legacy, the impending relocation to Las Vegas beckons as a beacon of hope and renewal, promising to usher in an era of unparalleled excitement and potential for the franchise and its devoted fanbase.

There’s going to be bumps along the road.” said Manfred on Thursday.
“I am confident that the deal in Las Vegas is solid and that the A’s will build a stadium in Las Vegas and play there in 2028. We believe the parcel is adequate for a major league ballpark,” Manfred said.
“I think the delay in the renderings is due to the discussions between Bally’s and the A’s as to how the ballpark and what else is going to happen there is going to be most efficiently designed to make it the best possible experience for fans,” Manfred added.
