Where it stands

During the week of August 20, 2026 the second of six roof truss arches was set, completing that installation (Las Vegas Review-Journal). The remaining four arches are scheduled for installation by the end of 2026 (Ballpark Digest).

The project was described as on schedule and on budget, with Mortenson-McCarthy as the general contractor (ESPN). About $400 million of the $2.0 billion cost had been spent as of May 23, 2026 (Ballpark Digest), and the LVCVA bulletin lists a 33,000-seat capacity and a Spring 2028 completion (LVCVA).

Approvals and public record

No dated case numbers for this project appear in the sources we have.

What is not known

Two completion dates circulate: the LVCVA bulletin lists Spring 2028 (LVCVA) while reporting cites late February 2028 (ESPN). We print both and do not reconcile them. The precise handover date is not stated in the sources we have.

Where the Athletics will play their 2027 home season is also not stated, no architect of record is named, and no dated case numbers were confirmed.

Why it matters

Four of six roof arches still have to be erected in roughly four months, which concentrates crane time, ironwork and inspection load on the South Strip through the end of 2026. The schedule is also the reference point for every adjacent Tropicana-corridor project that has to work around the same street closures.
