Hagerstown Multi-Use Sports and Events Facility
The Hagerstown Multi-Use Sports and Events Facility is a multi-purpose stadium under construction in Hagerstown, Maryland. The facility is being built primarily for the Hagerstown Flying Boxcars, 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.The Maryland Stadium Authority is overseeing development of the facility. Turner Construction is designing and building it. Upon completion, it will be owned and operated by the Hagerstown-Washington County Industrial Foundation (CHIEF).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.A groundbreaking ceremony was held on October 18, 2022. The facility is expected to be ready for use in 2024.The initial plans had the stadium at a capacity of 5,000. This was lowered to better serve non-sporting events. The capacity will be 3,500 for baseball games and 4,000 for other events. The stadium will also have eight private suites, a beer garden, a bar, and a picnic area.
