Watch: Drone video over West Sac ballpark shows renovations ahead of A’s debut
Now that the Athletics have sent artificial turf plans to the dugout and put natural grass in the lineup when they move to West Sacramento next season, how are the rest of the renovations at Sutter Health Park coming along?
Drone video from over the stadium shows the grass has been removed. Trucks and dirt movers are rolling across the infield and outfield in preparation for laying down the sod.
Construction near the left field corner bleacher section is underway, where new home and away clubhouses are being built.
A new batter’s eye screen will be installed beyond the center field wall after players raised concerns about visibility and glare. The dugouts will be remodeled to give players more space and improved seating options, and the bullpens beyond the right field wall will also be renovated.
The A’s West Sacramento debut is set for 2025. A’s officials announced last spring they would be playing at least three seasons in West Sacramento while they construct a new stadium on the Las Vegas Strip they hope to open in 2028. There is an option to continue at Sutter Health Park for a fourth season in 2028 if the stadium is delayed.
