Construction of the Athletics’ $2 billion Las Vegas ballpark on the south Strip is progressing, with visible advancements in both the structure’s steel framework and the assembly of its roof. The project remains on schedule for an early 2028 opening.
Steel and Structure Rising
The lower concourse deck is nearing completion, circling the 9-acre construction site. Steelwork for suite spaces is extending to the second deck level, and the framework for the third and fourth decks is now visible. According to A’s president Marc Badain, “The bowl of steel on the third and fourth deck is now visible…The workforce has done an amazing job.”
Approximately 60 percent of the second-level decking has been completed. Crews have begun assembling the steel trusses that will form the stadium’s roof, with a piece of truss currently on-site. The placement of the steel roof is tentatively scheduled to begin in early June.
What’s Next?
If the construction timeline holds, the placement of the steel roof could begin in early June. Further progress on the concourse decking and suite-level steelwork is likely to continue. The project could remain on budget and on schedule, potentially leading to an early 2028 opening.
