LAS VEGAS, Nevada — The A’s have spent more than $50 million on design and professional costs on their planned 2028 stadium for the Strip and have a targeted 31-month construction period in mind, said Sandy Dean, newly-minted A’s vice chairman who was a point man on the stadium project.
It was also the first day on the job for Marc Badain, the new A’s president who was the president of the Raiders when the NFL team built their stadium in Las Vegas from 2017-2020.
Dean and architects Frankie Sharpe of BIG and Emily Louchart of HNTB presented the Las Vegas Stadium Authority Board with updated renderings for the domed stadium that will have fixed seating for 30,000 and SRO room for another 3,000 for a capacity of 33,000.
Dean believes the $1.75 billion price for the stadium is still good and that the team will use $350 million of the $380 million in designated public assistance for the stadium project. The $380 million in a stadium public subsidy was approved by the state Legislature in 2023.
Here’s an interview with the architects:
We talked with Badain about the Raiders and A’s stadium projects:
Steve Hill, chairman of the Las Vegas Stadium Authority Board and CEO of the LVCVA, congratulated Raiders representatives on the hiring of new coach Pete Carroll and the extending of the contract of defensive player Maxx Crosby.
Hill then welcomed back Badain, who appeared before the stadium board many times when he was the Raiders president.
The A’s representatives will be sticking around Friday for a media event and then attend A’s spring training games at Las Vegas Ballpark in Summerlin on Saturday and Sunday.
