The 33,000-seat park will be enclosed by a roof but will feature “the world’s largest cable-net glass window” to allow for natural light and views of the strip.

Nearly a year after the Oakland A’s announced their plans to move the team to Las Vegas, the A’s finally unveiled renderings for their ballpark in Las Vegas.

In a press release, A’s owner John Fisher called it a “truly innovative and bold design while ensuring an unmatched fan experience. We hope to add to the dynamic atmosphere and liveliness of the Las Vegas Strip, creating a welcoming environment for all of Southern Nevada.” “The resultant architecture is like a spherical armadillo – shaped by the local climate – while opening and inviting the life of the strip to enter and explore. In the city of spectacle, the A’s ‘armadillo’ is designed for passive shading and natural light – the architectural response to the Nevada climate generating a new kind of vernacular icon in Vegas.”The stadium will be tiered into upper and lower seating bowls with no restricted views.
