The U.S. construction industry generates nearly $2 trillion per year. Stadium construction contributes just $13 billion — well under 1% of the market.

That scale gap matters.

Construction is a massive, mature Industry built around repeatable processes. Stadiums are the opposite: one-off, technically dense civic projects that most sports and entertainment executives will encounter only once in their careers. When an industry this large and standardized meets a project this irregular, it won’t adapt. It simply manages stadiums like everything else — often inefficiently.

This is most dangerous in technology.

Stadium tech is a mission-critical investment. It can reach 20% of total construction cost and drives premium experiences, sponsorship value, digital media, connectivity, operations, and overall event flexibility. Technology is commercial infrastructure, yet it is often delivered through workflows designed for offices and apartments, not complex venues where the technology is the product.

That’s why specialization matters.

When your project represents less than 1% of the market but depends heavily on integrated technology, you need experts who understand both the construction ecosystem and the performance demands of modern venues.

Ampthink is built for this niche, a vertically integrated technology, construction, and manufacturing company dedicated solely to stadiums. We don’t just specialize; we innovate and tailor technology systems to achieve the financial outcomes that venue owners demand.
