About Maryland Stadium Authority:
Our HistoryFor over 35 years, the Maryland Stadium Authority has completed projects in partnership with local governments, universities, and the private sector throughout Maryland. These include convention centers, museums, theaters, parks, and campus centers in addition to sports arenas. They have been completed on time, and budget. The Maryland Stadium Authority is committed to enhancing the lives of all those who visit our 85-acre Camden Yards Sports Complex- whether for work or play and for those who utilize the projects we have developed throughout the state. The Maryland Stadium Authority was established by legislation and enacted by the State of Maryland on July 1, 1986, to select a site and develop financing alternatives for stadium facilities in the Baltimore Metropolitan area. On July 1, 1987, the law was amended to enable the construction of new facilities, including baseball and football stadiums, in the Camden Yards area of Baltimore City. The amendment also established MSA as an independent unit in the Executive Branch of the State government. From then on, MSA has continued to grow and thrive over the next three decades.
