MUSTANG STADIUM

TREMENDOUS FACILITY

THIS STADIUM IS REALLY, REALLY SPECIAL.

- JOHN HARBAUGH, BALTIMORE RAVENS HEAD COACH

To accommodate its growth and expansion, Stevenson University opened its new Owings Mills campus in 2004. Two years later, it acquired the former headquarters and practice facility for the NFL’s Baltimore Colts and Super Bowl champion Baltimore Ravens.

One of the best facilities in Division III, Mustang Stadium was opened in September 2011 and serves as the home for the University’s football and nationallyranked men’s and women’s lacrosse teams. The multi-million dollar, 3,500-seat stadium was designed by Curry Architects of Towson and built by Howard S. Brown Enterprises. The field level features team rooms for football, field hockey, women’s soccer, men’s lacrosse and women’s lacrosse as well offices for football and men’s lacrosse. Each team room is equipped with their own restroom and shower facilities, LCD televisions with cable, built-in stereos, scoreboard clocks and Internet access. They also feature custom built, hand-stained, wooden lockers personalized for each student-athlete.

In constructing the football team room, the University repurposed the original lockers used by the Super Bowl XXXV champion Baltimore Ravens in what is now the Caves Sports and Wellness Center.

The concourse level has a full-service ticket office and concession stand as well as spacious restroom facilities, team store and security office. The third floor is a 6,400-square foot fitness center overlooking Owings Mills Boulevard complete with state-of-the-art workout equipment, sound system and LCD televisions with cable. There are also restroom and shower facilities as well as office space for a strength and conditioning coach.

The two-story press box features a President’s Suite on the fourth level, complete with theatre-style seating, outdoor patios, two LCD televisions with cable, scoreboard clocks, granite countertops and bathroom tile, buffet and bar service. The fifth floor contains one of the best media facilities in Division III. It has home and visiting coaches’ boxes, home and visiting radio booths, television suits, video production room and space for general media and game day administration. The stadium includes 204 reserved seats and general admission seating for over 3,000 fans while the field boasts a synthetic, environmentally responsible, eco-friendly FieldTurf surface and state-of-the-art scoreboard with programmable team names, statistical displays and penalty time. In its first year, the stadium hosted the Baltimore Ravens, the Ed Reed Football Camp and the Baltimore Touchdown Club Senior All-Star Game.

“Tremendous facility,” said Baltimore Ravens Head Coach John Harbaugh. “This stadium is really, really special. I know the indoor, what they have is really neat. They’ve just done a great job with their athletic facilities.”

The Ravens occupied the facility from 1996-2004 upon their arrival from Cleveland. The complex was originally built by the Baltimore Colts in 1979 and served as their base of operations until 1983. After the Ravens’ moved down the road to “The Castle,” the complex was purchased by Stevenson University in 2006 for use by the school’s growing athletics department.
