The city-nameless Athletics have broken ground on a new stadium in Las Vegas on Monday, though the wait for completion will take three years.

Based for now in Sacramento, California, the Athletics will eventually play in the $1.75 billion baseball stadium that the organization broke ground on. The Athletics spent the previous 56 years in Oakland before the implementation of a move to Las Vegas this year, and that includes a temporary home at West Sacramento’s Triple-A minor league stadium Sutter Health Park for the next three seasons.
