The Big League Weekend in Las Vegas attracted a sellout crowd of 9,342 fans to watch the Oakland Athletics face the Milwaukee Brewers. Fans expressed excitement for the MLB team's presence in Las Vegas, with some showing sympathy for Oakland. The event featured vintage Oakland jerseys and 'S-E-L-L' shirts worn by fans. The A's won the game, with more than 17,000 fans attending the series. The new Las Vegas ballpark design raised questions about climate control, glass walls, and seating options.
