Not enough space
Storage, locker rooms and training space run out years before a new building can be approved, funded and built.
For schools & venues
More facility space, without a new building.
We design bleachers, press boxes, training rooms, locker rooms, concession stands and VIP clubs built from 20′ and 40′ shipping containers. Each design has estimated prices in three tiers. We haven’t built one yet: our first builds are planned for winter 2026–27, with deliveries in 2027.

What athletic directors keep telling us
When we talked to Virginia athletic directors, the same three problems kept coming up.
Construction is expensive
Permanent buildings mean architects, permits and long schedules, all paid for up front.
Sponsorship rarely covers it
Naming rights often go unsold or under-priced, so they don’t make much of a dent in a project’s cost.

What athletic directors told us
Talk to usThis 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.
Quotes are from our fall 2026 survey of Virginia athletic programs, lightly edited for spelling. Bracketed words added for clarity.
Sponsorship funding through Stadia IP
Marland Continental is part of Stadia IP, which sells naming rights and sponsorships for sports venues. If you’d like, Stadia IP will look for a local sponsor for your new facility: a business that pays to put its name on it, a wrap on its walls, or RobotLab robots at your games.
That money goes toward the facility’s cost. We can’t promise a sponsor or an amount, but we’ll give you a realistic estimate before you commit.

We build it
In our warehouse in Portsmouth, Virginia. First builds are planned for winter 2026–27.
Delivery and setup
By truck or rail, set on a pad or piers on your site. It can be moved later.
Rentals, starting 2027
Once our first units are built, we plan to offer season and event rentals for tournaments, renovations and programs that aren’t ready to buy. Let us know if you’d be interested.
Concept rendering · Equipment roomQuestions
Have you built any of these yet?
Not yet. We’re a pre-seed startup. We’ve designed and priced 17 facilities, surveyed Virginia athletic programs, and leased a warehouse at 500 Confederate Ave in Portsmouth. Our first builds are planned for winter 2026–27, with the first deliveries in 2027.
Are the pictures real?
No. Every product image on this site is a concept rendering made to show the design. Once we build our first units, we’ll replace them with photos.
How accurate are the prices?
They’re estimates from our cost model, which prices the materials, equipment, labor and freight for each tier. They’re per unit and delivered, including a freight and setting allowance. They don’t include site foundation (a concrete pad typically runs $4,000–$12,000, or $1,500–$5,000 for a pier system), utility service to the pad, sales tax or local permits. Your written quote sets the final price.
What sizes do the facilities come in?
Every design is based on 20′ or 40′ high-cube shipping containers. Larger ones, like the stacked bleacher unit, stacked VIP club and container stage, combine two containers with decks, canopies and stairs.
Can a facility be moved later?
Yes. They’re built in our shop and set on site, so they can be picked up and moved to a new field or campus.
How does sponsorship funding work?
Stadia IP, our parent company, sells naming rights, wraps and sponsorships for sports venues. If you opt in, they’ll look for a sponsor for your facility, and that money goes toward its cost. Whether a sponsor signs on, and for how much, depends on your program and market, so we’ll talk through what’s realistic before you commit.
Where will you deliver?
We’re starting with Virginia, North Carolina, Maryland, D.C. and Delaware, all within trucking range of Portsmouth. Our warehouse is also rail-served.
Do you offer package pricing?
Yes. Buying several units for one site, like bleachers, a press box and a concession stand, qualifies for package pricing. Ask us for a multi-unit quote.
