Overview
- Contractors say major structural work is complete and the lower bowl and upper deck are rising, and the project remains on schedule and on budget for a targeted Feb. 29, 2028 opening.
- The southeast parking garage will be built in two stages with about 1,500 spaces available at first and roughly 2,500 spaces when construction is finished to serve fans at opening.
- Bally’s has not finalized phasing or financing for its $1.19 billion mixed-use project, putting the planned elevated northwest plaza and some shared infrastructure at risk of not being ready for the ballpark debut.
- The A’s have a contingency that would route fans from existing pedestrian bridges to ground‑level gathering areas and then up escalators to the main entrance if the plaza is delayed, and team leaders say they will present formal plaza and access plans to local authorities this summer.
- The team has already invested about $400 million, has sold its initial suites and most premium club packages, and the near-term benchmarks for the plaza now hinge on Bally’s permitting and construction timing which will shape fan access and retail plans.
