study summary

In April 2022, the Maryland Stadium Authority (MSA) Board of Directors approved a request from the Mayor of the Town of Ocean City (TOC) for the MSA to manage a Phase 2 feasibility study for a proposed new indoor fieldhouse and outdoor field complex in Ocean City. The Mayor and Council and Ocean City Tourism Commission have identified sports tourism as a top priority in their respective strategic plans. The Phase 2 study will include an update to the market and economic analysis released in November 2019, a site evaluation of the current site location under consideration, and a cost estimate of construction. The TOC will fully fund the cost of the study of $49,400.
