The Athletics are moving toward the next major step in their relocation to Las Vegas, a ballpark groundbreaking.
They cleared a significant hurdle last week when the Clark County Commission approved land-use permits. That approval followed the unveiling of new stadium renderings and the announcement of a Las Vegas patch on players\' uniform sleeves for the next three seasons under a sponsorship with the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority.
There are some documents that still need to be completed and submitted, but there appears to be nothing major that would block putting shovels in the ground.
A\'s president Marc Badain said the team is on track for a June groundbreaking for the $1.75 billion, 33,000-person capacity ballpark intended to open for the 2028 season.
