Project Summary:

In February 2012, the Maryland-National Capital Parks and Planning Commission requested Maryland Stadium Authority to perform a market/economic study on the potential of a lacrosse stadium to house the professional Chesapeake Bayhawks MLL franchise, and anchor an adjacent youth sports complex that would accommodate amateur leagues and tournaments.

The study focuses on the existing Green Branch Athletic complex near Bowie Baysox Stadium.
 
The cost of the $40,000 study was split between the Stadium Authority and the Bayhawks team.  It was released on February 8, 2013.

Based on the findings of the initial study, M-NCPPC requested the Stadium Authority to perform a second study to determine the scope and program elements, develop a design, determine potential public private sector funding partners, and devise a management strategy.

Phase II of the study, approved in March 2013, will be funded by M-NCPPC.
