Love it or hate it, you have to give soccer credit for the facilities created around its fans. Some of the largest and most impressive facilities in sports have been created around giving soccer fans the best experience possible.

This level of dedication to venue size and fan experience expands beyond the two most popular sports in the world (NASCAR and soccer). Baseball, football, basketball, hockey and even golf are seeing luxuries and attention to detail fans and players could only imagine decades ago. Even older venues are getting major facelifts and modern-day improvements to bring them up to the level of greatness now expected in a sports facility.

That being said, SportsPro magazine was kind enough to give their two cents on the finest sporting facilities in the world. Hunt Construction Group is proud to see Lucas Oil Stadium sitting at number 22 in the top 30. During its construction, Hunt worked closely with architect HKS, Inc. to ensure every seat in the house was a good seat.

An excerpt from SportsPro’s article does a great job explaining why the stadium stands out from the crowd:

“The stadium’s two standout design elements, a vast, 300-ton movable window and a peaked, retractable roof, have both since been emulated by Populous for the Dallas Cowboy’s new stadium. Not only an architectural wonder, Lucas Oil Stadium has also revolutionized the commercial thinking that goes into stadium design.”

Hunt is proud of everyone who worked hard to create such a beautiful and groundbreaking facility. Also, a big thanks goes out to those who work hard everyday to ensure Lucas Oil Stadium continues to impress fans and inspire future facility design.
