Bowie, MD (January 29, 2025) – The Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission (M-NCPPC), in partnership with the Maryland Stadium Authority (MSA) and Attain Sports, owner of the Chesapeake Baysox—the Double-A affiliate of the Baltimore Orioles—today announced plans to design and construct significant renovations to Prince George’s Stadium in Bowie, Maryland.
Originally opened in 1994, Prince George’s Stadium, owned by M-NCPPC, Department of Parks and Recreation, Prince George’s County, has been a beloved destination for family entertainment and professional baseball in Prince George’s County for over three decades. The planned renovations are part of a broader initiative by the State of Maryland, which in 2022 authorized MSA to issue up to $200 million for sports entertainment facilities across the state. This initiative prioritizes addressing identified Major League Baseball (MLB) Player Development League (PDL) deficiencies in the minor league stadiums located throughout the state.
Attain Sports, which acquired the Chesapeake Baysox (formerly the Bowie Baysox) in 2021, holds a lease for Prince George’s Stadium through 2032, with options to play through 2042.
Prince George’s Stadium has received MSA’s approval for approximately $50 million in targeted renovations. M-NCPPC, MSA, and Attain Sports have selected Gilbane, with design partner EwingCole, as the design-build team to execute the upgrades. Additionally, the Canopy Team will assist Attain Sports and M-NCPPC through the design process.
The design phase will continue into early 2025, with construction projected to begin in March 2025 and extend into 2026. Notably, the renovation work is not expected to disrupt the Chesapeake Baysox’s playing season, ensuring that fans can continue to enjoy baseball and family-friendly entertainment at Prince George’s Stadium throughout the project.
Complementing the broader renovation project, M-NCPPC and Attain Sports also announced the installation of two new state-of-the-art videoboards for the 2025 season. These videoboards will enhance the fan experience by delivering high-definition, dynamic visuals and engaging in-game content, and an interactive atmosphere for baseball games and special events alike.
“Prince George’s Stadium has been a cherished gathering place for families, fans, and the community for over 30 years, and these renovations mark an exciting new chapter in its history,” said Peter A. Shapiro, Chair of the Prince George’s County Planning Board and M-NCPPC. “This project reflects our commitment to enhancing the quality of life for our residents by delivering state-of-the-art amenities and preserving this beloved venue as a hub for sports, entertainment, and community pride. We are proud to work alongside our partners to ensure that Prince George’s Stadium continues to inspire and bring people together for generations to come.”
"These renovations represent a significant investment in the future of Prince George’s Stadium and our community,” said Bill Tyler, Director, M-NCPPC, Department of Parks and Recreation, Prince George's County. “Blending these modern innovations with the timeless tradition of baseball provides more opportunities for residents and visitors to Live More, Play More!”
“We are thrilled to partner with M-NCPPC and MSA to deliver these much-needed improvements to Prince George’s Stadium,” said Greg Baroni, CEO and Managing Partner, Attain Sports. “This investment not only ensures that the Chesapeake Baysox have a world-class ballpark to call home, but also strengthens the stadium’s role as a centerpiece of family entertainment and economic growth in Bowie and the greater Chesapeake Bay region. With these planned upgrades, Prince George’s Stadium is poised to continue its legacy as a premiere destination for fans and a cornerstone of the community.”
