where did the oakland a's move to

The Oakland A's left their longtime home at the Oakland Coliseum after the 2024 season, ending a 57-year run in the city.

Current Home Base

They're now temporarily based at Sutter Health Park in West Sacramento, California, sharing the stadium with the Triple-A Sacramento River Cats.

This 14,000-seat venue serves as their primary home for the 2025, 2026, and 2027 MLB seasons while their permanent stadium is under construction.

The move followed failed stadium negotiations in Oakland, marking a transitional phase before their big relocation.

Las Vegas Transition

The A's are relocating to Las Vegas long-term, with a new 33,000-seat ballpark on the Las Vegas Strip set to open in 2028.

Groundbreaking happened in June 2025, and construction is progressing—steel work starts early 2026.

As a preview, they'll play six "home" games in Las Vegas in June 2026 (vs. Brewers June 8-10, Rockies June 12-14) at the 10,000-seat Las Vegas Ballpark in Summerlin, home of their Triple-A affiliate, the Aviators.

Fan Reactions & Context

Fans have mixed feelings—excitement for Vegas vibes clashes with heartbreak over losing Oakland's legacy, including four World Series titles there.

Attendance woes and stadium disputes fueled the shift, echoing the team's past moves from Philadelphia to Kansas City before landing in Oakland in 1968.

Sacramento's setup isn't ideal (small capacity, hot summers), but it's a bridge to Vegas glamour.

---|---|---|---
Oakland Era| Oakland Coliseum| 1968-2024| 57 years, 4 World Series wins 7

TL;DR at Bottom: A's ditched Oakland post-2024 for West Sacramento (2025-27), eyeing Las Vegas full-time in 2028—with a 2026 Vegas taste test.
