The A’s have hired Mortenson-McCarthy, a joint venture that will oversee all the construction-related operations on the stadium project. The authority board is scheduled to meet later this week to approve of the hiring before it’s made official. The 30,000-seat ballpark is scheduled to be constructed on 9 acres but is awaiting approval from the MLB for their relocation plan. Mortenson-McCarthy was also involved in the construction of the $2 billion Allegiant Stadium in July 2020. According to the article, Minneapolis-based Mortenson has a long history of building sports and entertainment projects including Truist Park, Target Field, Chase Center, Climate Pledge Arena, and U.S. Bank Stadium. McCarthy has a rich history in Nevada, carrying out projects for more than 40 years, including the Circa, Virgin Hotels, and the Palms. According to Logan Gerken, vice president and general manager at Mortenson, “This project will engage local businesses, create employment opportunities, and reflect the diverse nature of the Las Vegas community through its construction operation.”
