The Oakland A's: Packing Their Bags for Sin City (But Not Quite Yet)
Ever feel like your favorite team's stadium is about as exciting as watching paint dry? That's kind of been the vibe for the Oakland A's at the Coliseum for a while now. So, like any self-respecting baseball team yearning for greener (or perhaps glitzier) pastures, they announced a move to Las Vegas! But hold on to your foam fingers, because this ain't a magic trick. There's a slight detour before they hit the bright lights of the Strip.

California Stopover: Sacramento Steps Up to the Plate
The A's lease at the Coliseum runs through the 2024 season. That means for now, they're staying put. But fear not, baseball fans! They won't be homeless come 2025. The friendly folks over at Sutter Health Park in West Sacramento have offered their stadium as a temporary base. Think of it as a baseball-themed spring break for the A's – a chance to soak up some California sun (and maybe avoid that pesky Oakland rent).
Viva Las Baseball! But When Exactly?
The big move to Las Vegas is set for the 2028 season. That's right, folks, mark your calendars! So why the wait? Well, building a brand new stadium takes time, especially one worthy of a city that knows how to put on a show. The A's are planning a dazzling ballpark on the site of the old Tropicana Las Vegas casino. Just imagine, watching a home run clear the fences with the neon glow of the Las Vegas Strip as the backdrop! Talk about a home run celebration!
QuickTip: Keep a notepad handy.
Fun Fact: This won't be the A's first time on the move. They've already called Philadelphia and Kansas City home before settling in Oakland in 1968. Vegas will be their fourth stop, making them the most well-traveled team in MLB history (unless the Wanderlust Wombats come along, but that's a story for another day).
