Oklahoma City has released preliminary details on its upcoming MAPS 4 Multipurpose Stadium, a roughly $108.8 million project that will serve as the centerpiece of a new 50-acre entertainment district south of Bricktown. The U-shaped venue will seat nearly 10,000 fans for soccer matches, with the ability to expand to 18,000 capacity for concerts, featuring a recessed playing field, lightweight canopy, and a dedicated supporters' section.

Why it matters

The new stadium is a key part of Oklahoma City's MAPS 4 initiative, a major public investment program aimed at transforming the city's downtown and surrounding areas. The stadium is expected to anchor a broader mixed-use development, tying into the new Thunder basketball arena and other nearby attractions, as the city looks to drive economic growth and enhance its appeal as a destination.

The details

The stadium's design, created by architecture firm Populous, will include approximately 6,732 general admission seats, 736 club seats, 294 premium club seats, 303 loge seats, and 164 suites. A 1,500-person safe-standing supporters' section will be located close to the pitch, with over 300 additional standing-room spots. The playing field will be recessed six feet below grade, and a lightweight canopy will cover nearly all seating areas to shield fans from the elements. The north side of the stadium will be open to frame the downtown Oklahoma City skyline, while the exterior will feature a programmable LED-lit fabric façade.

• The city tapped Lingo Construction as construction manager in mid-January 2026.
• Construction is expected to start this spring, with a target opening in early 2028.

What’s next

City and project oversight committees will now review the preliminary design and financing plan, with public comment opportunities and final vote dates expected to be announced in upcoming city council agendas.
