With mounds of dirt, construction vehicles and the exact location where home plate will be at the new A's Ballpark serving as the backdrop Monday morning, team owner John Fisher stood in front of a large gathering with one message: "We are Vegas' team.

Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle shared a photo on Monday of the A's "future home plate" on a stand at the site of the club's future stadium in Las Vegas. The Athletics held a groundbreaking ceremony at the new stadium site on Monday.

The A's on Monday celebrated the groundbreaking of their new $1.75 billion, 33,000-person capacity ballpark in Las Vegas that is expected to be finished in time for the 2028 season.
