Construction Begins on New MAPS 4 Multipurpose Stadium

Oklahoma City leaders broke ground today on the $121-million MAPS 4 Multipurpose Stadium. The new stadium is scheduled to open in 2028 and will anchor a new sports and entertainment district just south of Bricktown.
"Today's stadium groundbreaking reflects a city that is relentlessly investing in itself," Mayor David Holt said. "We are perhaps the only top 50 city to lack a multipurpose stadium, and it's kept us from opportunities in soccer and music, as well as in minor league football, collegiate and high school sports. In 2019, we decided to address that need. And even before we broke ground, we were already seeing new opportunities present themselves. We are also seeing this project become a catalyst for the parcel around it, which promises to develop into a vibrant new mixed-use district in the heart of our city. This MAPS 4 project continues our city's incredibly successful philosophy. When we invest in our city, we always reap rewards."
Located on nine acres where the Producers Cooperative Cotton Mill once stood, the property was donated to the City by multi-strategy investment firm Echo Investment Capital. The state-of-the-art stadium is poised to host professional soccer teams, youth sports, concerts, community events and a United Football League team, launching in 2028. As the majority owner of OKC's professional soccer club, Echo is driving the OKC for Soccer | OKC es Fútbol movement and will operate the stadium, which will be the future home to both women's and men's teams.
Designed by architecture firm Populous, the venue will have an initial capacity of 10,000, with the ability to increase, if needed. The venue will feature modern amenities, premium fan experiences and have capacity for a variety of events. The field is United States Soccer Federation (USSF)-approved, and the majority of seating will be under a canopy cover. The north side of the stadium opens to the downtown skyline, while a lightweight canopy roof and dynamic fabric facade frame OKC's open skies. The fabric facade will be enhanced by programmable LED lighting that will create energy for the fans and the local community. The venue will also feature a club, a supporters section, locker rooms and suites.
MAPS 4 Multipurpose Stadium, operated by Echo and their professional sports platform, and built in partnership with Russell Westbrook, Nick Gross, The Chickasaw Nation, Populous, Fields and Futures, and Robinson Park, a group bringing global creative energy and deep conviction in what OKC can become.
