Oklahoma City leaders broke ground on June 1, 2026, 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.
Lingo Construction serves as the construction manager.
"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 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 most of the 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 also will feature a club, a supporters section, locker rooms and suites.
Located east of the OKC Convention Center and south of Bricktown near Interstate 40, the MAPS 4 Multipurpose Stadium will be the centerpiece of a new multi-use entertainment district located within easy walking distance of the new Continental Coliseum, Bricktown, the convention center and Scissortail Park. Echo Investment Capital also plans to develop the surrounding area into a sports-centered entertainment district in partnership with Robinson Park.
The project is funded by MAPS 4, the 2025 OKC Bond, Tax Increment Financing (TIF), private contributions and other economic development sources. ♣
