Harbor Park Baseball Stadium
Norfolk, Virginia

LandMark Design Group developed the site plans for a 12,000-seat baseball stadium on the downtown waterfront in Norfolk, Virginia. LandMark Design Group prepared working drawings based on the approved Master Plan. Our involvement with the waterside stadium continued through the bidding and construction phases of the project.

LandMark Design Group's scope of services included all traffic, civil and environmental services, including an environmental constraints analysis. The footprint of the stadium was then aligned to accommodate the requirements of the sport, including specific requirements to match the major league stadium, while avoiding protected resources. Drainage design utilized the existing drainage systems to the greatest degree possible, thereby containing costs. Where new systems were designed, considerations were made for future extensions and ultimate capacity. The resulting design utilizes two new outfalls, which have been sized to accommodate all reasonable future considerations. Wetland permits for stormwater outfalls were obtained. Stormwater pollution abatement requirements of the CBPA were achieved for this project located in a designated Intensely Developed Area.

The $18 million multi-purpose stadium, which serves as the home for the Norfolk Tides (the New York Mets Triple-A minor league team), began construction in February 1992, and was completed in April 1993. The state-of-the-art facility is oriented to a waterfront view.
