The MLB Athletics have hired a popular name in the sports stadium business to manage premium seating and ticket sales at their planned ballpark for the Strip.

The Oakland Athletics, which plan to open the stadium in Las Vegas for the 2028 MLB season, have enlisted Legends to handle ticket sales. The A’s plan on having a variety of premium seating options at the $1.5 billion, 33,000-seat domed stadium at the southeast corner of Tropicana Avenue and Las Vegas Boulevard.

The stadium will be built on a nine-acre section of the property owned by Gaming and Leisure Property, Incorporated, a real estate investment company that has 35 acres at that corner. The historic Tropicana hotel-casino at the site closes its doors for good.
