Athletics Tickets 2027: Sutter Health Park and the Las Vegas Series

Athletics 2027: Sutter Health Park, the Athletics' home in West Sacramento

For the 2027 season the Athletics play most of their home games at Sutter Health Park in West Sacramento, California, a ballpark that opened on May 15, 2000, as Raley Field and sits on the west bank of the Sacramento River, across from downtown Sacramento. The club also plays six home games at Las Vegas Ballpark in Summerlin, Nevada, from May 31 to June 5, 2027.

What makes Sutter Health Park different

The park has about 10,600 fixed seats and room for roughly 14,000 people including lawn areas, so it is by far the smallest ballpark in the majors. Grass berms in both outfield corners give a picnic atmosphere, and the skyline of Sacramento and the dome of the State Capitol rise over the river beyond the outfield.

A minor-league feel with Athletics baseball

The park is home to the Sacramento River Cats of Triple-A. For the Athletics, it means closeness, a friendly crowd and a very different feel from a giant stadium.

Getting to Sutter Health Park and Las Vegas Ballpark for Athletics games

The Athletics play 75 home games in West Sacramento and six in Las Vegas, so the travel plan depends on the date.

Reaching Sutter Health Park from Sacramento

The ballpark is directly across the river from downtown Sacramento and Old Sacramento. Many fans cross on foot or take a short ride-share, and Sacramento's hotels, restaurants and Amtrak station make the city a convenient base. If you drive, parking lots surround the park but fill quickly on busy dates, so arrive early. From San Francisco, count roughly 90 minutes to two hours by road depending on traffic.

Reaching Las Vegas Ballpark in Summerlin

Las Vegas Ballpark is in Summerlin, on the western side of the Las Vegas valley, next to Downtown Summerlin. It is a short drive from the Strip and the Red Rock Canyon area, and local transit serves a nearby stop. Plan more time than usual for traffic and parking.

Best Athletics seats in West Sacramento and Las Vegas

At a ballpark this small, almost every seat is close to the field, so the choice comes down to shade, view and atmosphere.

Infield seats at Sutter Health Park

The seats behind home plate and along the first and third base lines give the best view of pitches and defensive plays, and they suit fans who want to watch every detail of an Athletics game.

Lawn and berm seats for families

The grass areas in the outfield are relaxed and popular with children, though they have less shade. Bring a blanket, a hat and water. Summer afternoons in Sacramento are very hot, with temperatures often above 95 degrees Fahrenheit, so prefer evening games and drink plenty of water.

Mesh seats at Las Vegas Ballpark

In Summerlin, all the seats are made of breathable mesh to cope with desert heat, and the park holds about 8,200 seated fans with standing room taking the total to around 10,000. Late May and early June are warm, so a hat and sun protection matter.

Athletics atmosphere: green and gold, Stomper and a neighborhood crowd

The Athletics wear green and gold, colors that fans carried from Oakland. The elephant logo goes back to the club's early days in Philadelphia, and the mascot Stomper, an elephant, roams the stands.

A friendly Athletics crowd in a small park

Because the park is small, the atmosphere feels like a community event: fans talk to the staff, children run along the berms and the sounds of the game carry easily.

Food and drink near Sutter Health Park

The concourses offer ballpark classics along with regional specialties and craft beer. Downtown Sacramento's restaurants are minutes away if you want a meal before or after the Athletics game.

Athletics tickets 2027: planning around a small ballpark

Single-game Athletics tickets usually go on sale in winter. The 2027 sale dates have not been announced, and because Sutter Health Park is much smaller than other major league stadiums, the best dates can sell out sooner. The alert on this page is the simplest way to avoid missing the release.

Choosing between Sacramento and Las Vegas

Games in Las Vegas are rare, available only on six dates, so they may be the first to attract traveling fans. For Sacramento, Tuesday and Wednesday evenings are calmer than weekends, and April and September have milder weather.

Secure resale for Athletics games

For sold-out dates, use only secure resale that guarantees entry and avoid offers made through social media. Verify the venue, which can be Sacramento or Las Vegas, as well as the date, section and row.

The alert tells you when sales open, when games are added and when prices change, and the tickets button is available when sales begin.

Seeing the Athletics from Europe or Latin America: practical advice

West Sacramento and Las Vegas are both on Pacific Time, 9 hours behind Paris and Madrid for most of the season and 8 hours for two weeks in March. Mexico City is one or two hours ahead. Game times are not set, so avoid booking anything you cannot change.

How long is an Athletics game now

The pitch clock has brought a nine-inning game down to about three hours, so an evening in Sacramento fits easily into a trip.

Weather and combining the Athletics with a trip

Sacramento is dry and warm from April to September, hot in July and August. Combine a game with Old Sacramento, the Capitol, a day in San Francisco, Lake Tahoe or the wine regions, or build a route with the Giants using the guide for visitors from Europe. In Las Vegas, treat the series as a short desert trip with the Strip and Red Rock Canyon.

Athletics history: from Philadelphia to Oakland and the road to Las Vegas

The club began in Philadelphia in 1901, moved to Kansas City in 1955 and to Oakland in 1968. It has won nine World Series: five in Philadelphia (1910, 1911, 1913, 1929, 1930), and four in Oakland (1972, 1973, 1974, 1989). Since 2025 the team has played in West Sacramento as the Athletics.

Connie Mack, Reggie Jackson, Rickey Henderson and Athletics legends

Connie Mack ran the club for 50 years. Jimmie Foxx and Lefty Grove starred in Philadelphia, and the Oakland teams of the 1970s featured Reggie Jackson, Catfish Hunter and Rollie Fingers. Rickey Henderson and Dennis Eckersley became Hall of Famers in the green and gold.

The Athletics' plan for Las Vegas

The club has been approved to relocate to the Las Vegas area, and its plan calls for a new stadium on the site of the former Tropicana hotel, aimed at the 2028 season. Until then, West Sacramento is the home, and the six games at Las Vegas Ballpark in 2027 give fans a first look at the city.
