What's the story of Triple-A baseball in Las Vegas?
The franchise came to Las Vegas in 1983 as the Stars and played at Cashman Field [1][3]. It won PCL titles in 1986 and 1988, was renamed the 51s, and became the Aviators when it moved to the new Las Vegas Ballpark in Summerlin in 2019 [1][2]. In 2025 it won its third PCL championship [1].
Why does the Aviators–A's link matter now?
The Athletics are building a ballpark on the Strip [4]. That makes the Aviators the closest look Las Vegas fans get at A's prospects before the major-league club arrives. See the Athletics page for the ballpark timeline.
Season status
The 2026 Triple-A season is over. The 2027 schedule will be on the official site when it is released [5].
