Challenge

Northwest Stadium’s outdoor VIP hospitality areas relied on traditional A-frame structures that were unable to withstand Maryland’s demanding weather conditions. Frequent exposure to strong winds and winter snow loads raised durability concerns and increased maintenance needs. The stadium required a more robust, year-round solution that could provide reliable protection for guests while creating a premium hospitality environment for VIPs, sponsors, and special events. Big Top’s engineered tension membrane structures delivered a permanent, weather-resistant solution with clear-span interiors, enhanced durability, and low maintenance requirements. The new structures provide uninterrupted outdoor hospitality space that supports game days, corporate events, and year-round entertainment.
