The new A’s Las Vegas ballpark has broken ground. The 33,000-seat Major League ballpark, located at the south end of the famed Las Vegas Strip, was designed by BIG - Bjarke Ingels Group and HNTB with structural engineering by Thornton Tomasetti.
The domed stadium’s split upper and lower seating bowls provide clear sight lines and bring fans closer to the field. The long-span roof’s five overlapping “pennants” are supported on 700-foot span arch trusses, and one of the world’s largest cable-net glass façades in the park’s outfield will provide expansive views of the Strip.
In addition to structural design, Thornton Tomasetti is providing construction and façade engineering as well as waterproofing and façade access services. In addition to baseball, the stadium will hold concerts, conferences and other large-scale events. The $1.75-billion project is scheduled to open at the start of the 2028 baseball season.
