Fun Facts

  • At 12.4 acres in space, TQL Stadium is twice the size of Washington Park – just a few blocks away … additionally the area equivalent to six Fountain Squares can also fit on the stadium’s footprint.

  • The 59 suites in TQL Stadium will be the most in an MLS venue that doesn’t also host an NFL team.

  • For comparison, the distance from the field of the furthest seat in the building – 130’ – equals the maximum height allowed of a commercial building in Washington, D.C. … the distance also equals the length of two half-semi-trucks, and is the wingspan of a Boeing 757 airplane.

  • The Mercy Health Plaza is three-fourths the size of a football field.

  • The Team Store’s footprint is equivalent to three tennis courts.

  • The length of the stadium’s 1,200 auger cast piles (which create the deep foundation system) would equal the height of 117 Great American Towers if laid end to end.

  • The stadium’s steel order (8,500 tons) is equal to the weight of 42,500 lions … it’s also more steel that was used to build the Eiffel Tower in Paris.
