A detailed model of the upcoming 33,000-seat stadium for the former Oakland Athletics, now being erected on the Las Vegas Strip, is currently on display at a preview and premium ticket sales office.

A 1:200 scale model showcases the A’s stadium at the Ballpark Experience Center with a roof that raises upward on poles, designed to provide a clear view of the model. Early 2023 concepts had included a retractable roof, but the final design will feature a fixed roof structure. (Image: The Athletics)

The intricate 1:200 scale model, crafted by Las Vegas-based ModelWorks AJT, serves as the highlight of a newly opened 12,000 square-foot Ballpark Experience Center at UnCommons, a vibrant mixed-use complex in Southwest Las Vegas.

The actual stadium design, which is inspired by the Sydney Opera House, features five overlapping shells that are intended to provide shade, climate control, and allow natural light into the stadium. (Image: Negativ)

The center features the Immersive Cube, a state-of-the-art 270-degree digital projection room showcasing 26.5 million pixels that simulate the view from the pitcher’s mound of the 33,000-seat ballpark.

Additional attractions include a clubhouse-style area displaying replicas of the four World Series trophies won while the team played in Oakland (1972, 1973, 1974, and 1989; the Philadelphia A’s also won titles in 1910, 1911, 1913, 1929, and 1930).

Additionally, a life-sized elephant sculpture pays homage to the team mascot established in 1902, inspired by New York Giants manager John McGraw’s comment about the Athletics having a “white elephant” on their roster.

Expect Intense Pitching Action

The Ballpark Experience Center operates by appointment only. This exclusive access, combined with its location approximately 15 minutes from the Strip, suggests its main objective is to promote season tickets and premium memberships to affluent Las Vegas residents in a luxurious setting.

Moreover, it’s reasonable to assume a secondary objective — to convince the public that the $1.75-$2 billion stadium, slated for completion by the 2028 season, will indeed be constructed.

While $380 million in public funding is confirmed for development on the previous Tropicana Las Vegas site, formal agreements for the remaining $1.6 billion are still pending. However, Nevada officials have maintained that team owner John Fisher and his family possess the equity to cover $1.1 billion. Funding for the balance is expected to come from a $300 million loan arranged through US Bank and Goldman Sachs, as well as equity investments that have yet to be secured.
