Here’s a new Las Vegas baseball stadium concept from @daben__man. This is the Tropicana site that the Oakland A’s have reportedly targeted for a new $1 billion stadium. The concept for this ballpark is it’s a domed baseball themed hotel with a dual video board outside and inside.
A few weeks ago the Oakland A's put in a bid to buy the Tropicana. The new ballpark could look something like this. (design by @daben__man & @jamesb_archi)
@adioschonies@LasVegasLocally@jamesb_archi Yes I was total thinking about that, but if the roof isn’t retractable then you wouldn’t have to worry about the sun. Dodgers are slightly off too and the visitors dugout gets that afternoon sun.
@LadyCarala @LasVegasLocally@MLB@Athletics@ArashMarkazi It’s compact to reduce cost, the roof would be the smallest in MLB. Seats about 35k. It’s just a concept I did in my spare time.
@masonsimpson315 @SeanCD30 @Pickswise@ArashMarkazi I agree. I love the classic ballpark look, but knowing Vegas heat… it had to be a dome and the challenge was was making the roof interesting. This would actually be the shortest spanning roof in mlb.
