LaBella’s Cristian Petschen Talks Modular Stadium Design With the Rochester Business Journal
In a recent interview with the Rochester Business Journal, LaBella’s Public Venues Practice Leader Cristian Petschen shares insights into the firm’s innovative approach to sports facility design—highlighting how modular construction is becoming a game-changer for emerging markets like USL soccer.
With LaBella leading the design of stadiums in cities like Buffalo, NY, Bridgeport, CT, and Homestead, FL, modular design is proving to be a cost-effective, flexible, and scalable solution. Petschen explains how these “Lego-like” components allow stadiums to be built faster, expanded as fan bases grow, and even relocated if needed. It’s an approach that aligns with the growing demand for multi-use, community-centered venues in the post-COVID era.
