Athletic Business Features Modular Stadium Article by Cristian Petschen
LaBella’s Petschen discusses how modular design is breaking the stadium construction bottleneck.
LaBella designs athletic stadiums across the United States, and in recent years we’ve seen a construction bottleneck—rising costs and tighter timelines that derail or even cancel projects.
Athletic Business recently featured an article by Cristian Petschen, Global Practice Leader – Sports, Entertainment, and Public Venues. In the piece, titled “Modular Stadiums: Expanding the Playbook for Sports Infrastructure,” Petschen shares a personal anecdote illustrating how a generalist perspective—including in stadium design—considers all factors and tailors recommendations, such as choosing modular construction versus conventional methods.
How do modular stadiums unlock opportunities to get built? By cutting costs and timelines without sacrificing quality or sustainability, and by incorporating scalability while maintaining the ability to relocate or repurpose the structures.
Thank you to Athletic Business for featuring Cristian’s article!
