Initially, the team's agreement to build a new ballpark in Las Vegas started at the Wild Wild West Gambling Hall & Hotel but later shifted to the Tropicana Las Vegas with a 1,500 room hotel and casino.
In 2023, the team announced it was planning to build a new ballpark in the Las Vegas Valley, causing negotiations over the proposed Oakland Ballpark at Howard Terminal to collapse. The relocation effort follows years of failed attempts to replace Oakland Coliseum with a more modern stadium in the Bay Area. The team has been based in Oakland since 1968, where it has won four World Series titles.
The Oakland Athletics relocation to Las Vegas is an ongoing effort by ownership of the Oakland Athletics of Major League Baseball (MLB) to relocate the franchise from its long time home of Oakland, California, to Las Vegas, Nevada. The Oakland Coliseum, pictured in 2021, has been the home field of the Athletics throughout their entire tenure in Oakland.
