The Maryland Stadium Authority (MSA) was established by the General Assembly in 1986. The original mission was to build, manage and maintain quality facilities to retain major league baseball, and return NFL football to Maryland. MSA is committed to enhancing the Maryland experience for those who live, work and visit here. In addition, MSA currently oversees projects such as 21st Century School Buildings Program and Project C.O.R.E./Baltimore Vacants Reinvestment Initiative, which orchestrates the demolition of blighted structures throughout Baltimore City. The sports commission for the state of Maryland, known as Maryland Sports, is a division of MSA and has been since its existence in 2008.
