Capital Region Development Authority: Dillon Stadium Rehabilitation

Hartford, Connecticut

 

Dillon Stadium was an existing field and stadium that was originally constructed in the 1930's; over the years the facility was used for sporting events, concerts and large community festivals.  Freeman Companies collaborated with the Prime Architect, CRDA, the City, MDC, the Developer and other stakeholders to bring a United Soccer League franchise to Hartford as part of the effort to revitalize Dillon Stadium. While the facility is owned by the City of Hartford, it was managed by CRDA and the Developer operated as the primary tenant.  To meet the stipulations of the USL agreement, the facility was renovated for a capacity of 7,500 patrons.  The project scope included:  Press box; Synthetic turf that meets FIFA 2 Star requirements and the City of Hartford infill requirements. Freeman Companies provided comprehensive site/civil engineering, landscape architecture and permitting.
