We’re a pre-seed startup. So far we’ve designed and priced 17 facilities, surveyed Virginia athletic programs and leased a warehouse in Portsmouth. We haven’t built anything yet; our first builds are planned for winter 2026–27.

We started by talking to athletic directors. Most told us the same things: they’re out of space, new buildings cost too much and take years, and sponsorship money rarely covers a project.
Shipping containers looked like a practical answer. They’re strong, relatively cheap, easy to move and can be finished indoors. So we designed 17 athletic facilities around them, from bleachers to locker rooms, and priced each one in three tiers.
Bill already runs Stadia IP, which sells naming rights and sponsorships for venues. Pairing the two means a school can ask whether a sponsor could cover part of the cost. It won’t work for every facility, but it’s an option most builders don’t offer.
Our plan: check demand with athletic directors, build the facilities they want most, and grow from Virginia outward. We’ll update this as we go.
Marland Continental is a company of Stadia IP. We design and build the facilities; Stadia IP sells the sponsorships that can help pay for them.
Our parent company. Sells naming rights, sponsorships and fan-funded programs for sports and entertainment venues.
Makes premium outdoor structures, sold through Stadia IP. That gives us shared customers and a shared sales channel. struxure.com
Supplies robots that can carry a sponsor’s brand and perform at games, which gives sponsors another way to show up on game day. robotlab.com
Plenty of companies modify containers. We only design for athletics, and we can bring a sponsorship option with us.
Every design starts with what athletes, coaches, officials and fans need on game day.
Stadia IP can try to sell naming rights and sponsorships on a facility to offset part of its cost.
Economy, Standard and Luxury on the same footprint, estimated at about $17K to $453K per unit, delivered.
We lease a warehouse in the former Skippy peanut butter plant. It has a rail siding on the Norfolk & Portsmouth Belt Line and its own crane, so containers can arrive by rail and finished units can leave by truck or rail for Virginia, North Carolina, Maryland, D.C. and Delaware. We haven’t started building there yet.
Schools, venues, sponsors and investors: we’d like to hear from you.
