The 2024 season will be the last one for the Athletics in the city of Oakland.

The Sacramento Kings, who are the majority owner of the Triple-A Sacramento River Cats, announced the city will host the A's at Sutter Health Park for three seasons from 2025 to '27 with an option for 2028 ahead of the club's planned move to Las Vegas.

The A's are moving to Sacramento from 2025-27, with an option to play there a 4th year, according to an announcement. They're planning to be done in Oakland after this season, their 57th in the city. <a href="">

Sutter Health Park in West Sacramento will host the A's for the 2025-27 seasons - ahead of the team's move to Vegas in 2028. <a href="">

Per The Athletic's Evan Drellich, a team spokesperson said the A's don't plan to have a city designation in their name for the interim period in Sacramento.

Asked if the A's were now changing their name to the Sacramento A's, a spokesperson said the team will be called the Athletics and A's for the interim period. <a href="">

The River Cats' stadium will be much smaller than the Oakland Coliseum, though ESPN's Jeff Passan noted capacity at Sutter Health Park could get as high as 14,000 fans when you add in grass outfield seats.

The A's plan to move to Sacramento for the 2025-27 seasons, with an option to play there in 2028 as well, the team announced. They will play in Sutter Health Park -- just over 10,000 seats, with grass outfield seats to increase capacity to 14,000 -- for at least three seasons.

A crowd of 14,000 for a single game would be a dramatic improvement for the A's. They have been averaging just over 6,000 fans in Oakland for their first six home games this season.

There was a lot of uncertainty prior to Thursday's announcement about where the A's were going to play in 2025. Their lease with the Coliseum expires after this season.

In a statement released on Tuesday (h/t Jason Mastrodonato of the San Jose Mercury News), the Athletics said they were "far apart" in negotiations with Oakland city officials about a possible short-term extension of their lease.

A spokesperson for the city of Oakland told Mastrodonato the city "lowered its demands and is no longer requesting the guarantee of an expansion MLB team, nor demanding the A's leave their name and colors behind" as part of its terms for a lease extension.

There also remains uncertainty about the Athletics' planned move to Las Vegas. Even though the club entered into a purchase agreement in April 2023 for land near the strip to build a new stadium, Las Vegas mayor Carolyn Goodman told the Front Office Sports podcast in February that the plan "doesn't make sense" and they should find a way to stay in Oakland.

Goodman later clarified her comment with a statement on X, noting she is "excited about the prospect of Major League Baseball" in the city. If the Athletics' attempt to resolve the situation in Oakland fails, she added that Las Vegas has shown it is a "spectacular market" for professional sports franchises.

Statement on today's conversation about the Oakland A's. <a href="">

The A's have revealed designs for a new stadium in Las Vegas, but funding for the project remains uncertain. Nevada Gov. Joe Lombardo signed into a law a bill approving $380 million in public financing for the proposed $1.5 billion stadium.

A teachers' union in Nevada has filed a lawsuit attempting to block the use of public funds for the stadium project amid ongoing funding issues for public education in the state.

"Every dollar we spend building stadiums is a dollar we aren't using for public education," the association said in a statement provided to the Associated Press by spokesperson Alexander Marks. "Public money should not go to a billionaire for a stadium while Nevada ranks 48th in the nation with the largest class sizes and highest educator vacancy rates in the country."

Mortenson-McCarthy, the A's ballpark construction manager, unveiled a plan to the Las Vegas Stadium Authority last October in which they would break ground on the stadium in April 2025 and be completed in January 2028.

The option for a fourth season in Sacramento would presumably be exercised if there are any construction delays preventing the stadium being ready in time for the 2028 MLB season.

Oakland has been home to the A's since the 1968 season. They have won four World Series titles and 17 division titles during their time in the Bay Area.
