The Oakland Athletics will relocate to Sacramento for the next three seasons, the team announced Thursday.
The team will play out of Sutter Health Park in West Sacramento, a triple-A park with a capacity under 15,000, for the 2025-27 seasons before the team plans to permanently move to Las Vegas in 2028.
“We explored several locations for a temporary home, including the Oakland Coliseum,” A’s owner and managing partner John Fisher said in a statement. “Even with the long-standing relationship and good intentions on all sides in the negotiations with Oakland, the conditions to achieve an agreement seemed out of reach. We understand the disappointment this news brings to our fans, as this season marks our final one in Oakland. Throughout this season, we will honor and celebrate our time in Oakland, and will share additional details soon.
“We extend our appreciation to the Kings and the City of West Sacramento, and look forward to making Sutter Health Park our home until our new ballpark opens in Las Vegas.”
More to come.
