Sacramento Secures $1.8B for MLB Expansion Team Stadium
Sacramento-area leaders on Thursday formally announced plans to pursue a Major League Baseball expansion team, saying that $1.8 billion in funding has been secured as part of “The Sacramento Pitch.”
The campaign aims to construct a new ballpark on a 50-acre site in West Sacramento in the Bridge District for a team once the A's depart to Las Vegas for the 2028 season.
The mixed-use development would also offer retail, housing and restaurants.

The former hulking, concrete northeast corner of Georgia Tech’s football stadium is officially a thing of the past.
University officials and project leaders recently cut the ribbon on a major expansion for Bobby Dodd Stadium at Hyundai Field called the Thomas A. Fanning Student-Athlete Performance Center.
The 108,000-square-foot project aims to modernize Georgia Tech’s historic football stadium, while helping recruiting and boosting athlete performance, recovery, and wellness. (The facility’s use of huge window banks to frame Atlanta’s skyline should help impress young recruits, logic says.)
