LAS VEGAS, Nevada — While the A’s stadium is getting built, the Major League Baseball team will have a place to show fans what it will be like to take in a game at the domed, 33,000-person venue on the Strip.
The Athletics are opening an “Experience Center” at the UnCommons off the 215 Beltway Dec. 2.
The A’s are also sending photos of the stadium construction to their fans.
The Raiders, when they built their NFL stadium, also had a stadium preview center in Las Vegas for fans to get a close look at the venue.
The A’s are putting together season ticket packages for their stadium scheduled to open for the 2028 MLB season.
