Students gather at the Las Vegas A’s Ballpark Experience Center, where they learn about the future of Major League Baseball in Las Vegas.
LAS VEGAS — We began at the Las Vegas Golden Knights practice facility, where a panel of employees spoke about their roles, career paths and the challenges they’ve overcome. Next, recent Syracuse grad Rajan Joshi ’25 led us through the Las Vegas A’s Ballpark Experience Center. We then had lunch with A’s president Marc Badain and his senior leadership team before heading to the stadium construction site to see it all coming to life. We ended at T-Mobile Arena for a tour of the arena and watched the Golden Knights beat the Pittsburgh Penguins. —Bengsch
LOS ANGELES — We visited Dignity Health Sports Park, where AEG General Manager Adam Duvendeck—a two-time Olympian in track cycling—led our tour. We walked through the home of the LA Galaxy, the tennis stadium and the VELO Sports Center, the only indoor velodrome in the United States, where we watched athletes practicing.
