Sports Field and MWR Structures for Athletics, Recreation, and Military Programs

Athletic facilities and military Morale, Welfare, and Recreation (MWR) programs require adaptable structures designed to support athletic, recreational, fitness, training, and sporting activities, as well as morale, welfare, recreation, community, and quality-of-life programs for military personnel, government employees, organizational members, and their families. Big Top custom-engineered, American-made Sports Field and MWR structures provide durable, weather-resistant environments for athletic development, recreation programs, spectator activities, and community engagement.

Serving schools, universities, parks departments, sports complexes, military installations, municipalities, and venue operators, our innovative fabric structure system provides flexible covered space for athletic facilities, equipment, spectator accommodations, and operational functions while offering a faster, more cost-effective alternative to conventional construction.
