Across the country, fans are cheering on their favorite sports teams in stadiums, many of which are built with precast concrete designed and fabricated by EDGE customers. From Oklahoma to Wisconsin, EDGE-powered teams are delivering the complex, large-scale precast work that makes these iconic structures possible.
Here’s a look at four recent projects that showcase what EDGE customers are building in the sports arena.
BOK Center Expansion — Tulsa, Oklahoma
EDGE customers tackled this major event center in Oklahoma. The project demanded precision across a high volume of complex precast components and requires extensive coordination between design and fabrication teams, which was enabled by EDGE’s unique BIM capabilities.
Fishers Event Center — Indianapolis, Indiana
Coreslab Indianapolis contributed to this major event center renovation in Indiana, home of the NBA’s Indiana Pacers. The work demanded exacting tolerances and a relentless construction schedule, met by a detailing team whose workflows, refined over years of EDGE use, kept everything moving efficiently and accurately.
The Monument — Rapid City, South Dakota
Gage Brothers, a long-time EDGE producer customer fabricated the precast for this arena in South Dakota, adding significant new capacity.
American Family Field — Milwaukee, Wisconsin
Wells delivered this baseball stadium project for the Milwaukee Brewers. Challenges like raker beams, seating bowl geometry, canopy structures, and site-cast interfaces all required careful detailing.
Metromont has produced several notable stadiums, including the Mercedes Benz Stadium in Atlanta where the Falcons play.
Metromont’s Hiram, GA manufacturing facility produced approximately 380,000 SF of precast concrete stadia seat sections for the project (approximately 2,600 pieces).
How EDGE Makes These Projects Possible
Large complex projects like those highlighted above push precast engineering and detailing teams to their limits. EDGE is built to help those teams rise to the challenge by automating repetitive common tasks and streamlining workflow.
For engineering firms, EDGE automates the time-consuming, repetitive tasks that slow down detailing: generating shop drawings, producing piece-mark schedules, managing revisions, and coordinating between design and production.
For producers, EDGE reduces the number of errors that make it from the office to the shop floor. When a detail is wrong in a stadium raker beam or an arena column, the cost of correction in time, material, and schedule impact is severe, and EDGE’s built-in checks and standardized workflows catch discrepancies earlier, before they become field problems.
For both, EDGE creates a shared platform where engineering and production speak the same BIM language where files move cleanly between design and fabrication, changes propagate correctly, and teams spend less time reconciling discrepancies and more time building.
