Happy Wednesday, Athletics Nation!
Yesterday, the A’s finally released long-overdue and eagerly anticipated renderings of the Las Vegas ballpark they plan to open in 2028. It looks strikingly like the Sydney Opera House, which seems fitting for a locale chock full of fake replicas of famous landmarks.
Naturally, X was abuzz with mostly skeptical takes on the new renderings, as observers wondered why the rest of the planned redevelopment is absent from the background and how such a grand design might squeeze into a nine acre plot. Scott Ostler at the San Francisco Chronicle has more details on as well as questions about the new drawings.
