The A’s proposed new park would sit on nine acres of land at the site of what is now the Tropicana Hotel and Casino, on the south end of the Strip and just a few blocks away from Harry Reid International Airport.

Per a team news release, the orientation of the playing surface “will allow for the outfield to open to the corner of Tropicana and Las Vegas Boulevard.”
