Sports and Event Centers

Sports and Event Center Construction

We are proud to associate our name with many of the sports facilities that make up the nation’s sports landscape. In each arena, ballpark and stadium we build or renovate, Mortenson’s versatile capabilities and excellence in construction are revealed.

When we first entered the sports market more than 20 years ago, we chose to selectively pursue opportunities where we were certain to deliver exceptional value and service to our customers. We would only commit to these projects when we knew we could dedicate a seasoned “A-Team” along with ample resources. This approach has helped us achieve a unique track record and a reputation of reliability in a niche market that has historically been challenging for contractors.

To date, Mortenson has built over 100 sports and entertainment venues totaling more than $4 billion. We understand the high level of skill, knowledge, and expertise required to undertake these projects. And how a well-designed and well-constructed facility can positively influence revenue generation, operations and fan comfort. Our project teams leverage all of this knowledge to help our customers make the best decisions for their facility and long-term economic success. Our proven track record speaks to our ability. We safely and consistently complete our sports projects on time and under budget.  Our multi-faceted community participation program is adaptable to any locale. These successes lend to our reputation today as one of the most well-respected sports facility builders in the United States.

Coors Field - Colorado Rockies Baseball Stadium

" . . . their knowledge and experience in building major sports facilities was instrumental in the successful completion of Coors Field and the national recognition it has since received. In addition, Coors Field had one of the best construction safety records of any project of its size built to-date.  Mortenson provided a workforce that was both professional and quality oriented."

University of Iowa - Kinnick Stadium Renovation

“ . . . I knew from the beginning that the selection of  Mortenson was one of the best decisions the University of Iowa made. I greatly appreciated the entire team buying into our goal of bringing in this project on time and on budget. We were successful on both fronts due to your company’s due diligence throughout the entire renovation project.

You earned our respect because you did not promise anything that you did not deliver - that is the kind of company I want working on behalf the Iowa Hawkeyes!  Thank you for everything - I am certain we were all winners in this great project and appreciate you being a member of the University of Iowa team."
