Marc Badain, President, Las Vegas Athletics

The Athletics’ new Las Vegas ballpark represents one of the most ambitious sports development projects underway in the world—and another defining chapter in the transformation of Las Vegas into a premier global sports destination. Rising on the Las Vegas Strip, the 33,000-seat, fully climate-controlled ballpark is being designed to deliver an exceptional fan experience while creating a landmark venue that connects seamlessly with the energy and identity of the city. With construction well underway and the project targeted for the 2028 MLB season, the new ballpark is poised to become a powerful catalyst for the next generation of sports, entertainment and development in Las Vegas.

Marc Badain, President of the Athletics, will provide an inside look at the vision, strategy and execution behind the A’s move to Las Vegas and the development of their new home. In a featured conversation Badain will be interviewed by Charlie Thornton, Co-Chairman of CAA ICON, the firm serving as the project’s owner’s representative and providing overall project management. Together, they will explore the evolution of the ballpark, the opportunities and challenges of delivering a transformational sports venue on the Strip, and the broader impact the project will have on Las Vegas and the future of sports-anchored development.
