NO way what happened to having a ballpark look like old Comiskey Park, Wrigley Field, Fenway Park, or even Dodger Stadium. Please not the Sydney Opera House. Schools over Stadium just might have got a leg up.
The roof along with the scoreboard looks like they could be using sphere tech. Wouldn’t be surprised if that’s why the scoreboard looks curved. Cause tbh it doesn’t look like it’s physically in place.
Wall of windows facing west so people will get roasted from the wall of windows in the evening. Not quite sure if the windows and high desert winds go together.
As a former desert dweller, I couldn't help but notice you left 1 important detail out. Where will they put the air conditioning? At the D-backs ballpark in Phoenix the machines are at the top of the stadium so the cool air can filter down towards the people. If that 1st pic of the renderings were to be made reality, a ton of those A/C units are going to be needed as the sunlight will shine thru & overheat the facility. People need to feel comfortable otherwise they'll stay home.
It’s like what I said in my comment I wonder if they’ll tint the windows cause that sunshine reflection and heat coming from the windows is going to make it hot It’s a rendering for now or as I also said in school it’s the old rough draft
my guess is why there is no seating in left is because of the glass wall. it would bring in a lot of concentrated desert sunlight so they made it standing room so people aren't forced to stay there if the sun gets too hot.
If in fact the A's do eventually move to Vegas, this might not even be the stadium that they play in. They had to get something out there in an attempt to show people that everything is honky dory.
@@broker4u Yep, plans are where they are the Athletics going? I was hoping for a move where a teams was but moved but lost a team and have no MLB team but I do not see a team like this anywhere. Even in Wisconsin the Braves were gone for around 14--15 years before MLB had a team for them in 1972--1973 from a town not ready for a team in Seattle.
1) the land was given by Tropicana Hotel to the A’s for free. 2) The land is in the back corner of the Tropicana plot of land 3) The Tropicana is tearing down and rebuilding a new hotel/casino, smack in the middle of that Vegas strip view 😂😂😂😂 😂

Renderings for new stadiums that have "transparent roofs" always make them look WAY more transparent than what they really are. If that "transparent" cover in left field does not work, it will just be dead grey space like the Raiders Stadium (which was also supposed to have a transparent roof)
Does Left Field not have a wall? lol also, where is the rest of the property this sits on? The concourse outside looks like it's more than the 9 acres they have
As a Vegas resident, as nice as it is, I don’t know how they’re gonna make this work on the Tropicana Hotel site. The big issue with the site is its proximity to McCarren International Airport, and getting approval from the FAA… I have no idea how this gets approved because of that.
If it were the A's I'd go with or anything that passes. But 10 years or so down the line I would build a new baseball stadium elsewhere in Vegas and most definitely have more than 9 acres to play with. And by the time the A's fan base in Vegas would have grown a lot more. Let's just get the A's here now, and do the right things for the fans and team later.
It’s not too bad, it’s a rendering for now or like in school the old rough draft They’ll most likely tweak them as they go along The scoreboard is a little curved and it’ll be easy to see when you’re in right field since it’ll practically be in your face they’ll probably adjust that too I wonder if they’ll tint the glass cause that’s going to be a lot of sunshine reflection and heat coming from those windows
I actually really like the overall design and love the outside of it. My biggest issue is the same... that left to center field wall. I agree that there needs to be stands of some sort in Left field, but I think my bigger issue is the transparent outfield wall? I can't imagine that would be fun for an outfielder trying to gauge where a glass wall is when trying to play one off the wall. I'm not even opposed to the concrete structures, but that needs to be a backdrop with the lower level having stands in front of it. Also, right field could have a shorter wall height unless it has to be closer in where it needs to be taller to prevent a hitter's paradise in right.
That first picture looks like the music stage at the bar in the original Roadhouse. They are pretty ambitious with the stats on their lineup, too. Esteury Ruiz with a .278 average? Unless that is supposed to be the OBP of their hitters.
I presume (from the interior persepctive) the new casino will be behind that huge rightfield wall. I'm curious if they'll be able to keep that view of the strip in LF unobstructed.
I've taken a closer look at the external images and a map of the site. The stadium looks to be on the northeast corner of the sit. The casino will be mostly behind the huge wall on the 3B line. Given that, they may be able to pull of the construction without blocking the view of the replica of the Statue of Liberty.

Unclear about artificial or natural grass, but the added cost for grass on a permanent indoor field seems unlikely, but we can always hope that they can do something like Forsyth Barr Rugby Stadium in New Zealand.

Left Field the area near the foul line maybe where the Bullpen area is the picture isn't really clear of that whole outfield area they maybe be different in future updates.. The Field looks ok they need to touch up the seating areas in left the other thing the scoreboard looks like it will be setting on the fans i wonder if people want to sit that close to it .That's the other thing if the stadium is ever built at this point how close to the renderings will it be i wait to see it built before say it is good or bad . I know some teams renderings hit out of the park but they still have to build them and sometimes stuff never makes it in to the new Arena or Stadium.
Unreal and here is why. 1. Plenty of natural light. 2. They utilize the roof for imaging. 3.Standing room: Plenty is needed bc it is Vegas. 4. They break up the roof system to make it attractive. Also, I like no LF seating. I think the newer minor league stadiums feel less commercial. That will be the trend. Just consider that perspective.
Is it just me or does the rendering of the interior view make it look like there are exterior bleacher seats way out past right field? Like *way* out. It looks like some of those seats wouldn't even be able to even see inside the stadium. Are those seats or is that just a further away building I'm misinterpreting as exterior right field bleacher seats? What is that?
Seriously doubt they have the budget for this. Vegas only spent $1 Billion on Raiders stadium while something like Los Angeles’ SoFi stadium cost $6 Billion
Looks like the kind of Stadium you would see in a Sci-Fi movie. In a way it reminds me of what it must have been like when the Astrodome was first conceived. All of the angle of that video screen on the roof is just.... bizarre. I suspect left field will have something and they are just working on agreements for it now.
I do really like the exterior. Total Dubai meets Sydney Opera House. But the interior needs some serious work. That curved scoreboard blows. Convenient they left out the new Bally's high rises that will dominate left and right field views.
The exterior I like and you made some great points, especially with the no left-field seats. However, the white ceiling would make it extremely difficult for the fielders to see any fly balls. Also, 33K-34K seating capacity for a 1+ billion stadium? That sounds like it is way too few seats for the price.
I think its alright looking i dont like how its angled and i think it should be facing towards the strip because i feel like the way there showing it doesn’t really make you feel like that your in Vegas i guess that could be the whole point but i feel like the view would look better that way but thats just me…
I like it. For Vegas. You gotta have something unique. I’m sure they will tweak things a bit to make it a better baseball field. But I would go. Why don’t they change the name of the team?
I don’t think it’s the final product but they may adjust and make final renderings in June with realistic size and no mistakes like the no seats in left field. Vegas is likely happening. I honestly think the A’s will get outside foreign investment to get this done (like the Saudis, who may one day try to buy them). If this is the case, John is a con who can’t do things on his own, but credit to him for getting people who can help him to get this done.
The stadium is white because it's Vegas. It gets hot. Dark colors absorb heat. White will keep cooling costs down. They don't need left field seats because those seats typically suck anyway and many of the fans will be out of town visitors and won't care about watching the game. They'll be socializing and looking up once in awhile. And finally, the stadium will only be half full or less most of the time.
Reminder, this is supposed to sit on 9 acres, on the south east corner of the lot. The will be a new resort tower built in front of that glass blocking any views. Overall it's a very small stadium, might be MLB's smallest
I like the first one myself it's very space age kind of like you would see from the cartoon the Jetsons. Now all u need is the flying space cars 🚗 and George Jetson and Mr. Spacely at the game 😊
I wonder when they get to Vegas, could the A's go back to the Philadelphia A's colors. I liked the green and gold for Oakland, but I would like a change, perhaps the blue and gray from 1901 to 1954 in Philadelphia. This A's franchise changes states a lot, as they then moved to Kansas City then to Oakland.
Dude the giant green part looks like a pennant as do the other slices. Also I would guess the bullpens are in the left field area you criticized so heavily for being absent of seats!
Left field reminds me of the Nimitz Freeway viaduct sadly. Feels like a definite middle finger to Oakland there. These seem like very preliminary renderings. No bullpens, off-centered batter's eye. Holy Toledo indeed.
I live here. The view from outfield confuses me. They're only talking about knocking down the Tropicana Casino. The people walking up the other view would be where Hooters Casino is. They have to take down 3 square blocks which includes 2 more motels there also (they wont be missed. Neither would Hooters Casino tbh 😂) But that intersection doesnt seem to meet the size of that stadium. Money talks though and a lot of people gotta go to make room 💯🫡
What will the purpose of the giant window be when Bally's rebuilds the Tropicana and the window is looking at a giant hotel tower(s). I don't foresee Bally's going with a hotel with less rooms than the Tropicana has currently and being so close to the airport there is no way the FAA would let them build much higher.
The Trop has always said they plan on an integrated design so they aren't just randomly sticking a hotel in the way. And as for the FAA you have far too much in that agency. They are corrupt as hell and will green light anything provided the right palms are greased. All of that said, this is almost certainly a bullshit rendering, because Fisher only has 9 acres.
The hotel, if there is any, will not be in front of that window. The hotel will be supposedly behind it not on the corner of Tropicana and Las Vegas Blvd.

That first picture looks like the music stage at the bar in the original Roadhouse. They are pretty ambitious with the stats on their lineup, too. Esteury Ruiz with a .278 average? Unless that is supposed to be the OBP of their hitters. Looks amazing
Tropicana is not going to have given the A’s the land for free, just to give free advertising to the MGM casino. The view is going to be mostly consumed by the view of the new hotel, up close and pretty 🤣🤣🤣🤣Uses a lot of the design language of Sofi Stadium. This would be a gorgeous ballpark. Would absolutely travel to see a game there. This looks like something that we might have all glossed over when watching Back to the Future II when Marty goes into the future. I think I like it. Such a unique design, and I think that the mix of scoreboard and roof is really unique. Wonder if it’ll be a giant LED screen. I actually really like the overall design and love the outside of it. My biggest issue is the same... that left-to-center field wall. I agree that there needs to be stands of some sort in Left field, but I think my bigger issue is the transparent outfield wall? I can't imagine that would be fun for an outfielder trying to gauge where a glass wall is when trying to play one off the wall. I'm not even opposed to the concrete structures, but that needs to be a backdrop with the lower level having stood in front of it. Also, the right field could have a shorter wall height unless it has to be closer to where it needs to be taller to prevent a hitter's paradise in the right. Saw this on Jomboy and went straight to the channel This is gonna be lit af
As a Vegas resident, as nice as it is, I don’t know how they’re gonna make this work on the Tropicana Hotel site. The big issue with the site is its proximity to McCarren International Airport, and getting approval from the FAA… I have no idea how this gets approved because of that. That’s New York New York, not downtown lol not here okay Ask for NHL or NBA.
IMO, the Scoreboard will be a projection. And they will use software of the video image to get rid of the angle and keystone effect.
its all LED, like the Sphere.
I truly look forward to watching many many games there ~ Las Vegas A’s ⚾️⚾️⚾️
It looks alright from the outside. The inside needs some work, but i wanna know how you can fit this on 9 acres
It reminds me of the Sydney opera house
Did the builders of that get involved in this one? LOL
Wow. That really looks like frei Otto Munich Olympic stadium type look very well. So I was right about that. That is so cool.
Is this like a concept car? Something that is meant to draw a lot of attention, but that will never actually be built?
That was their first renderings. Idk what the hell this is. Not 9 acres and no planned hotels
Where is that bridge and water? Is that a rendering from Howard Terminal?
Left Field the area near the foul line maybe where the Bullpen area is the picture isn't really clear of that whole outfield area they maybe be different in future updates.. The Field looks ok they need to touch up the seating areas in left the other thing the scoreboard looks like it will be setting on the fans i wonder if people want to sit that close to it .That's the other thing if the stadium is ever built at this point how close to the renderings will it be i wait to see it built before say it is good or bad . I know some teams renderings hit out of the park but they still have to build them and sometimes stuff never makes it in to the new Arena or Stadium.
So are we having a Fremont Street type roof on the south side of town now too?
Looks great!!
I think I like it. Such a unique design, and I think that mix of scoreboard and roof is really unique. Wonder if it’ll be a giant LED screen.
Unreal and here is why. 1. Plenty of natural light. 2. They utilize the roof for imaging. 3.Standing room: Plenty is needed bc it is Vegas. 4. They break up the roof system to make it attractive. Also, I like no LF seating. I think the newer minor league stadiums feel less commercial. That will be the trend. Just consider that perspective.
Is it just me or does the rendering of the interior view make it look like there are exterior bleacher seats way out past right field? Like *way* out. It looks like some of those seats wouldn't even be able to even see inside the stadium. Are those seats or is that just a further away building I'm misinterpreting as exterior right field bleacher seats? What is that?
I agree I love the outside, inside needs a little more
There's just not going to be much room out in LF/CF for seats. The Tropicana Ave/LV Blvd intersection is practically right behind the fence
Years ago, just go to “ The Vet “ In Philly just to see a game
Not the stadium 🏟️, but a game, beer 🍺, cheese 🧀 steak
Seems like a waste of money 😂
Nailed it. Waste of money, Tix will be expensive.
Seriously doubt they have the budget for this. Vegas only spent $1 Billion on Raiders stadium while something like Los Angeles’ SoFi stadium cost $6 Billion
What the hell is this? 😅 The first one looks like one of those create your own stadium on MLB the show and they went nuts with it.
🤣
Looks like the kind of Stadium you would see in a Sci-Fi movie. In a way it reminds me of what it must have been like when the Astrodome was first conceived. All of the angle of that video screen on the roof is just.... bizarre. I suspect left field will have something and they are just working on agreements for it now.
Where is the new casino/resort?
Good question
There isn’t
I do really like the exterior. Total Dubai meets Sydney Opera House. But the interior needs some serious work. That curved scoreboard blows. Convenient they left out the new Bally's high rises that will dominate left and right field views.
Very impressive!
The exterior I like and you made some great points, especially with the no left-field seats. However, the white ceiling would make it extremely difficult for the fielders to see any fly balls. Also, 33K-34K seating capacity for a 1+ billion stadium? That sounds like it is way too few seats for the price.
7:17 That might be a projector screen, which if it can be done is a very economical way to make a large video board
It looks cool, but very unbelievable and slapped together. Nice that you can watch the game outside without paying, lol.
Looks pretty cool. Super unique and bet it looks awesome when it's completed as opposed to these renders
I think its alright looking i dont like how its angled and i think it should be facing towards the strip because i feel like the way there showing it doesn’t really make you feel like that your in Vegas i guess that could be the whole point but i feel like the view would look better that way but thats just me…
It's Vegas, you knew they were going to go all out
NICE, only thing I would change is ad more seating
I like it. For Vegas. You gotta have something unique. I’m sure they will tweak things a bit to make it a better baseball field. But I would go.
Why don’t they change the name of the team?
Similar situation to the Ybor City Stadium design and another Glass Dome
I don’t think it’s the final product but they may adjust and make final renderings in June with realistic size and no mistakes like the no seats in left field. Vegas is likely happening.
I honestly think the A’s will get outside foreign investment to get this done (like the Saudis, who may one day try to buy them). If this is the case, John is a con who can’t do things on his own, but credit to him for getting people who can help him to get this done.
Broken Egg and the Green Vegas monster! They need to make it 100k for other major events!
If the A’s were smart they should of try to move to Sacramento they would still have the east bay and would have the Stockton area and even Reno NV
thats crazy!
The stadium is white because it's Vegas. It gets hot. Dark colors absorb heat. White will keep cooling costs down. They don't need left field seats because those seats typically suck anyway and many of the fans will be out of town visitors and won't care about watching the game. They'll be socializing and looking up once in awhile. And finally, the stadium will only be half full or less most of the time.
It's a ballpark, a new work of art.
Reminder, this is supposed to sit on 9 acres, on the south east corner of the lot. The will be a new resort tower built in front of that glass blocking any views. Overall it's a very small stadium, might be MLB's smallest
I like the first one myself it's very space age kind of like you would see from the cartoon the Jetsons. Now all u need is the flying space cars 🚗 and George Jetson and Mr. Spacely at the game 😊
I wonder when they get to Vegas, could the A's go back to the Philadelphia A's colors. I liked the green and gold for Oakland, but I would like a change, perhaps the blue and gray from 1901 to 1954 in Philadelphia. This A's franchise changes states a lot, as they then moved to Kansas City then to Oakland.
Isn’t left field supposed to be a walk-in casino? Isn’t that why there’s no seating?
Dude the giant green part looks like a pennant as do the other slices. Also I would guess the bullpens are in the left field area you criticized so heavily for being absent of seats!
Left field reminds me of the Nimitz Freeway viaduct sadly. Feels like a definite middle finger to Oakland there.
These seem like very preliminary renderings. No bullpens, off-centered batter's eye. Holy Toledo indeed.
What’s the average capacity for a MLB stadium? Wonder why they decided to go on the lower side since it is Vegas
37,000 around there. But Vegas isn’t a big city so the 3,3000 is a good size for Vegas
Looks phenomenal would be shocked if they don't stick to this rendering
Wouldn't that color changing part on roof be considered a distraction for hitters???
I live here. The view from outfield confuses me. They're only talking about knocking down the Tropicana Casino. The people walking up the other view would be where Hooters Casino is. They have to take down 3 square blocks which includes 2 more motels there also (they wont be missed. Neither would Hooters Casino tbh 😂) But that intersection doesnt seem to meet the size of that stadium. Money talks though and a lot of people gotta go to make room 💯🫡
What will the purpose of the giant window be when Bally's rebuilds the Tropicana and the window is looking at a giant hotel tower(s). I don't foresee Bally's going with a hotel with less rooms than the Tropicana has currently and being so close to the airport there is no way the FAA would let them build much higher.
The Trop has always said they plan on an integrated design so they aren't just randomly sticking a hotel in the way.
And as for the FAA you have far too much in that agency. They are corrupt as hell and will green light anything provided the right palms are greased.
All of that said, this is almost certainly a bullshit rendering, because Fisher only has 9 acres.
The hotel, if there is any, will not be in front of that window. The hotel will be supposedly behind it not on the corner of Tropicana and Las Vegas Blvd.
