Sacramento celebrates A's as new tenant at Triple-A ballpark starting in 2025
In what amounted to an “Up with Sacramento” revival Thursday morning at Sutter Health Park, the Athletics leaned into the concept of playing in an “intimate” minor league ballpark for three years as they await financing and construction of a new stadium in Las Vegas. NBC Sports California, which broadcasts A's game, did not air the press conference, which featured no questions from media members, sticking with its regular program of an infomercial promoting “normal bladder control.” Instead, video of A's owner John Fisher, close friend and Sacramento Kings/River Cats owner Vivek Ranadive as well as Sacramento politicians speaking about the A's announced move to the capital city for the 2025 season was live streamed by Sacramento's ABC affiliate on YouTube.
