Tyler Soderstrom Talks Hype Around New Stadium for Athletics

<h1 data-start="152" data-end="213">2025 MLB Column: The Athletics and Their Las Vegas Future</h1>
<h2 data-start="215" data-end="255">A $1.75 Billion Gamble on the Strip</h2>
The Athletics’ long-anticipated relocation to Las Vegas continues to take shape, with the team’s new $1.75 billion ballpark set to open in 2028. The stadium will feature a retractable roof, 33,000 seats, and a prime location on the iconic Las Vegas Strip where the Tropicana once stood.
Early renderings reveal a futuristic design, and players themselves recently got a preview. In a team meeting, architects walked the roster through mockups, showing the franchise’s vision of one of baseball’s most advanced stadiums. The reaction? Pure excitement. Even for a team in transition, there’s no doubt the move to Vegas has given the A’s a shot of optimism.
<h2 data-start="941" data-end="968">The Player Perspective</h2>
While players aren’t deeply involved in the planning, the organization has made an effort to include them in the process—something that hasn’t always been the case in Oakland. For now, their role is more spectator than stakeholder, but the enthusiasm is real.
The roster sees Vegas as a chance to reset the franchise’s narrative:
<ul data-start="1304" data-end="1689">
<li data-start="1304" data-end="1406">
From Oakland to Sacramento to Vegas: leaving behind years of stadium uncertainty and small-market struggles.
</li>
<li data-start="1407" data-end="1565">
From lowest payroll to legitimacy: the expectation is that with a new ballpark and increased revenue streams, ownership will finally invest in talent.
</li>
<li data-start="1566" data-end="1689">
From afterthought to attraction: a Strip-side stadium could make the A’s one of the most visible franchises in MLB.
</li>
</ul>
<h2 data-start="1691" data-end="1713">The Bay Area Void</h2>
The A’s exit leaves the San Francisco Giants as the Bay Area’s lone MLB team. For lifelong Giants fans, the loss may not sting. But for Oakland loyalists, it’s a painful reminder of ownership’s choices and the city’s struggles to keep major sports franchises.
As one A’s player put it: “Oakland’s a good place for sports, but it’s just not something we can control as players.”
<h2 data-start="2102" data-end="2145">Betting Implications: The Vegas Effect</h2>
No surprise—the A’s move to Las Vegas comes with massive betting implications.
<ul data-start="2228" data-end="3165">
<li data-start="2228" data-end="2445">
Handle Growth: MLB wagering will see a surge when the A’s debut in Vegas. Nevada already thrives on sports betting, and MLB’s presence on the Strip will create synergy between casinos, books, and the ballpark.
</li>
<li data-start="2446" data-end="2691">
Home-Field Futures: Books are expected to shade odds in favor of Vegas at home, especially in the early years as fans pack the stadium. Think of the Golden Knights effect in the NHL—a team energized by a new market and rabid fanbase.
</li>
<li data-start="2692" data-end="2961">
Long-Term Win Totals: For now, the A’s futures remain near the bottom of the board, reflecting a rebuilding roster. But once the stadium opens and payroll inevitably rises, bettors can expect win totals to climb from the mid-60s into more competitive territory.
</li>
<li data-start="2962" data-end="3165">
Novelty Bets: Vegas sportsbooks will no doubt lean into promotions and prop markets tied to the new ballpark experience, further blending baseball with the entertainment capital’s gaming culture.
</li>
</ul>
<h2 data-start="3167" data-end="3201">Final Word: A Franchise Reset</h2>
The Athletics’ move to Las Vegas represents more than just a stadium upgrade—it’s a complete reset of identity. The franchise will leave behind decades of financial handcuffs and attendance woes in Oakland, trading them for a destination ballpark in America’s sports-betting capital.
<ul data-start="3493" data-end="3780">
<li data-start="3493" data-end="3577">
For Players: a chance to finally be part of a stable, well-funded franchise.
</li>
<li data-start="3578" data-end="3670">
For Bettors: a brand-new home-field dynamic that could shape MLB wagering for years.
</li>
<li data-start="3671" data-end="3780">
For Fans: excitement, skepticism, and the hope that this time, ownership won’t waste the opportunity.
</li>
</ul>
The countdown is on: by 2028, the A’s will no longer be a punchline—they’ll be the Vegas attraction MLB can’t ignore.
