Sutter Health Park has been home to the River Cats—the Triple-A affiliate for the San Francisco Giants—but the Athletics will be playing their first season in West Sacramento after spending 57 seasons in Oakland.
But Sutter Health Park, which seats about 14,000, will now be hosting two teams and will see more than 150 games.
MLB pitched using artificial turf with a hydration system in order to withstand the wear and tear of the season, while also trying to keep the field cool during the summer heat in Sacramento—which averaged a high of 106 degrees in early July last year.
The park will feature AirPAT technology, which will allow for root oxygenation, improve moisture management and regulate subsurface temperatures.
Clubhouse and dugout upgrades
There were already upgrades to the clubhouses ahead of the announcement of the A's moving to the park. This included a larger dining space, new female spaces, and upgrades to the training facility.
The dugouts were expanded to accommodate MLB teams and bathrooms in the bullpens were upgraded.
A new, state-of-the-art board, located in right center, will be 75' x 32' and will improve visibility for fans throughout the ballpark.
Other digital upgrades
Outdated static signs have been replaced with digital boards. The audio system was also upgraded to enhance sound clarity and coverage throughout the park.
The park will feature digital boards at all concession stands and will have portable vendors, improving the speed of service and ordering through a phone.
Network improvements
Wi-Fi will also be available in indoor spaces and across the bowl, concourse and outdoor spaces.
The A's will take the field for the first time on Monday, March 31, as the Chicago Cubs come to town.
The River Cats' first official game for the 2025 season at the park will be on Friday, March 28, when they host the Albuquerque Isotopes—the Colorado Rockies' Triple-A affiliate.
