The A's aim to finish construction and open the doors to their new stadium for the start of the 2028 season, which MLB commissioner Rob Manfred reaffirmed in February.
“I don’t think the timeline has changed,” Manfred told reporters Feb. 18 in Phoenix (h/t the Associated Press’ David Brandt). “I believe we’re going to be on time to go in 2028.”
