The Oakland Athletics said goodbye to their home field where they played their last 57 seasons after the 2024 season.
With the team eventually moving to Las Vegas, the Oakland Coliseum saw its final Athletics game played there during their last home game of the 2024 regular season.
The move to Las Vegas is expected to take a few years as the stadium needs to be built, so the Athletics will be playing their games elsewhere in 2025.
On Monday, the Athletics made a historic announcement regarding their team name next season.
According to FOX Sports: MLB, the Athletics will play their home games at Sutter Health Park in West Sacramento, but they will not have a city name attached to the team.

Although the Athletics will be playing in Sacramento, they have elected to just go by “The Athletics,” instead of incorporating a city to go along with the team.
The Athletics have won nine World Series titles in franchise history with their most recent coming back in 1989.
Recent history has shown the Athletics fall off a bit as they have missed the postseason for the last four seasons after winning the American League West back in 2020.
The Athletics appear to be in a rebuild mode to go along with the team changing locations from Oakland to Las Vegas.
It will be interesting to see how the Athletics team adjusts to playing at a new ballpark in 2025 as they try to get their organization back to playing winning baseball.
The Athletics have not appeared in an American League Championship Series since 2006.
