The Oakland Athletics and their construction team have decided to reward themselves with a new stadium altogether. The estimated expense for the renovation is around $1.5 Billion and will include five overlapping layers just like the famous Sydney Opera House. Apart from this, the A’s will also look to move to a stadium with a capacity of 33,000. The entire construction expected to be complete by 2028 will also hold a glass window beyond the outfield. With such massive developments in the infrastructure, President David Kaval now wants to invite the UFC to their arena.

In a recent interview on Vegas Sports Today on X (formerly Twitter) he said, “We would be honored, we would love to talk to @danawhite about that. It would be a tremendous event, and you can have the Octagon in there with the view of the Las Vegas strip behind you. 33K seats for fans to enjoy the fight. ” The UFC head honcho has never shied away from exploring new ventures for his company. So it will be interesting to see whether he agrees to it. While White is yet to respond to the new proposition, he did take time to announce his most recent fighter for UFC 301. Let us find out what’s in store for the fans next.
