The planned 5,000-seat facility is being built primarily for the Hagerstown ALPB Team, a future team in the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball, but it is also intended to host other sports, outdoor concerts, festivals and community events.[2][5][6]
The Maryland Stadium Authority is overseeing development of the facility. Turner Construction is designing and building it.[4] Upon completion, it will be owned and operated by the Hagerstown-Washington County Industrial Foundation (CHIEF).[1]
The $69.5 million development budget mostly comes from $59.5 million in bonds issued by the stadium authority which will be paid off with lottery proceeds. Then-Maryland governor Larry Hogan budgeted another $8.5 million for the project and the Maryland General Assembly earmarked $1.5 million in its capital budget.[2]
A groundbreaking ceremony was held on October 18, 2022. The facility is expected to be ready for use in 2024.[3]
