concept sketch
description:
Located on the banks of Port Covington, the 21,490 seat stadium concept’s inspiration derived from the crab traps of the Chesapeake Bay. A geometrically simple, yet intimidating structure where visiting crustations enter but face their inescapable demise shortly thereafter. Designed for an expansion or relocated USL Champions Level Club, “The Trap” is designed to be expanded to 26,500 for an eventual MLS home tenant. The multipurpose venue’s concept also considered the space needs for both professional and collegiate lacrosse and football events, as well as concerts.
