Concept rendering of a covered bleacher unit built on a 40-foot shipping container

Athletic facilities built from shipping containers.

Bleachers, press boxes, training rooms and concession stands for schools and venues, designed and priced by a small team in Portsmouth, Virginia. We’re a pre-seed company: everything shown here is a concept rendering, and our first builds are planned for winter 2026–27.

Where things stand, fall 2026

  1. Done

    Designed and priced 17 facilities

    Each comes in Economy, Standard and Luxury tiers, with estimated delivered prices from about $17K to $453K.

  2. Done

    Surveyed Virginia athletic programs

    Nine programs reviewed our designs and prices. Two said they’re interested in buying.

  3. Now

    Setting up our warehouse

    We lease a rail-served warehouse at 500 Confederate Ave in Portsmouth. Nothing has been built there yet.

  4. Next

    First builds, winter 2026–27

    We’ll build the designs schools asked for most, then deliver to our first customers in 2027.

Why build with containers?

Athletic programs often outgrow their buildings years before a new one can be approved, funded and built. A finished container facility skips most of that process.

About us
  1. Lower cost

    Estimated delivered prices start around $17K. Every design comes in three tiers, so you choose the finish level that fits your budget.

  2. Built in a shop, set on site

    We plan to build from 20′ and 40′ high-cube containers in our warehouse, deliver by truck or rail, and set each unit on a pad or piers. It can be moved later.

  3. Optional sponsorship funding

    Our parent company, Stadia IP, sells naming rights and sponsorships. For some facilities, that could cover part of the cost.

What athletic directors told us

Talk to us

This fall we showed our renderings and estimated prices to athletic directors, coaches and administrators at nine Virginia high schools, colleges and parks departments, and asked what they would buy. Two said they’re interested in purchasing.

Cool idea and nice use of containers. Would be interested in seeing [them] in person for a better feel.

This could be an option at our remote school locations that do not have concession buildings.

I would go a little higher in price to ensure we had a nice dugout, painted with good seating.

For the bleacher-style bench seating, I think this price [is] fair.

Our warehouse. We lease the former Skippy peanut butter plant at 500 Confederate Avenue in Portsmouth, which has its own rail siding and crane. Nothing has been built there yet. Our first units are planned for winter 2026–27.

The designs

Seventeen concept designs, from bleachers and press boxes to dugouts, VIP clubs and a concert stage. Each is based on a 20′ or 40′ high-cube container and has estimated prices in three tiers.

How sponsorship funding would work

Marland Continental is part of Stadia IP, which sells naming rights and sponsorships for sports venues. For schools that want it, Stadia IP would look for a local sponsor for the new facility, and the sponsor’s money would go toward its cost. How much it covers depends on the facility, the school and whether a sponsor signs on, so treat it as a possible bonus, not a promise.

Step 1

The school picks a design

And tells us it wants to explore sponsorship.

Step 2

Stadia IP finds a sponsor

Selling naming rights, exterior wraps or RobotLab robot appearances at games.

Step 3

The sponsor pays

That money goes toward the facility’s cost.

Step 4

We build and install it

With the sponsor’s name on it.

Later: designs beyond athletics

We’ve sketched container designs for military bases, emergency shelters, classrooms, festivals and bus stops. They’re early concepts with no pricing yet.
