LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — The Oakland Athletic's and Milwaukee Brewers will be headlining 2024 Big League Weekend at the Las Vegas Ballpark.

On Monday, team officials announcement those games are scheduled for Friday, March 8 and Saturday, March 9.

"We are excited to welcome back Big League Weekend to Las Vegas Ballpark," Aviators President/COO Don Logan said. "We welcome our major league affiliate, the Oakland Athletics, back for a third visit to Las Vegas Ballpark for Spring Training games. This will mark Milwaukee's first visit back to Las Vegas since 1999."

According to the Aviators, this will be the Brewers fourth overall appearance in Big League Weekend. The last games were played at Cashman Field. Milwaukee defeated San Diego 8-3 on April 2, 1999 and then beat Seattle 12-0 on April 3, 1999.
