The Athletics unveiled renderings Thursday that provide an updated glimpse inside the team’s planned $1.75 billion Las Vegas ballpark.
New details shown in the images include tiered bullpens and a lounge overlooking the outfield.
Frankie Sharpe, director of sports with architecture and design firm Bjarke Ingels Group, said the design team considered Southern Nevada’s summer heat while adding features to keep fans comfortable in a climate-controlled space that maintains an outdoor feel. Glass portions of the armadillo-shaped exterior and the massive 36,000-square-foot glass curtain wall in the outfield will provide a view of the Strip and allow plenty of natural light into the stadium, he said.
