The Oakland Athletics will spend the next three seasons playing at a minor league ballpark in West Sacramento before their planned move to Las Vegas for the 2028 season. The team announced Thursday that it would play at Sutter Health Park -- the home of the Sacramento River Cats , the Triple-A affiliate -- sharing the venue with the minor league team for the 2025 to 2027 seasons.
The agreement includes an option year to play in Sacramento in 2028, should their new stadium in Las Vegas not be ready by then. The announcement sets an end to the Athletics' 56 years in Oakland, where the team moved to from Kansas City starting in 1968 and won four World Series titles. "We explored several locations for a temporary home, including the Oakland Coliseum. Even with the long-standing relationship and good intentions on all sides in the negotiations with Oakland, the conditions to achieve an agreement seemed out of reach," Athletics owner Josh Fisher said in a statement
