The Oakland Athletics will be homeless after next season.
It is already clear that the big baseball club will move to Las Vegas. However, one small problem remains: their stadium in “Sin City” will not be ready until 2028. Additionally, their lease at Oakland-Alameda Country Coliseum ends after the 2024 campaign.

On Thursday, the Las Vegas Review-Journal learned that A's executives were currently visiting stadiums to find a home for the 2025, 2026 and 2027 campaigns.
The staff was in Sacramento, California this week. Its members visited Sutter Health Park, where the San Francisco Giants play at the AAA level.
Next week they'll be in Salt Lake City to discover Smith's Ballpark. This stadium is home to the Salt Lake Bees (AAA), the Los Angeles Angels team.
Other potential temporary venues for athletics include the Oakland-Alameda Country Coliseum, Las Vegas Ballpark, Oracle Park (home of the San Francisco Giants) and Greater Nevada Field.
Both Major League Baseball and its Players Association must approve the A's temporary home before its location can be announced.
The organization must determine its desired goal well before July, when the circuit releases the schedule for the following season.
