OVERVIEW 

Meritus Park, a multi-use sports and events facility in Maryland, is set to host over 60 professional baseball games in the Atlantic League each year while also serving as a space for concerts and festivals. The venue features food and beverage options on the main concourse, in bar/casual entertainment areas around the field and in a banquet hall. The space also includes a separate team store building. 

We provided structural design services to Turner Construction and Pendulum for the stadium, which hosted its inaugural home game on May 4, 2024.

HIGHLIGHTS

  • We designed the structure of the stadium, including cantilever seating for elevated suites and the banquet hall to provide premium seating close to the action.
  • The stadium includes a large lower level underneath the Main Concourse with offices, locker rooms, hitting cages and a loading dock. 
  • The site required areas of ground improvement underneath the basement foundations due to contaminated soil as well as variable rock and voids.
