New builds, billion-dollar renovations, and fan-first stadium experiences worldwide

Teams, cities, and universities are pouring billions into new and upgraded sports venues, from proposed MLB ballparks in Tampa Bay and Las Vegas to massive overhauls in Washington, Chicago, Columbus, and beyond. Projects highlight immersive experience centers, advanced acoustics, lighting, and upgraded concessions as clubs court premium buyers and enhance in-game spectacle. Alongside marquee designs for Olympic and European arenas, debates over public funding, vendor changes, and even fan ownership stakes show how politically and financially charged the stadium boom has become.
