Pins matching place:"East Tropicana Avenue"

Owner John Fisher, MLB commissioner Rob Manfred and Nevada officials broke ground on the $1.75 billion, 33,000-capacity ballpark on the former Tropicana site at the south end of the Strip, which the A's plan to open for the 2028 season.

A 200-ton steel truss was attached to a buttress on the east side of the ballpark on 1 June, the first piece of the arching roof that will top out about 290 feet over the field, roughly the height of the MGM Grand across Tropicana Avenue.
