The new stadium would mark the first time that the Athletics franchise has played in a new stadium of their own without another sports team tenant since the completion of Philadelphia's Shibe Park in 1909. It is proposed to open for the 2028 MLB season after the Athletics spend three seasons at West Sacramento's Sutter Health Park.
The stadium is estimated to cost $1.5 billion, of which taxpayers would pay $380 million.[1]
