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’s store 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
