Riverfront Stadium

Riverfront Stadium is an entertainment venue and multisport stadium with the capacity to host more than 10,000 occupants who can experience sports, concerts, and civic events from a 360-degree perspective while immersed in state-of-the-art audio, video, and internet connectivity. It is prominently located on the west bank of the Arkansas River, in the Delano neighborhood, and serves as a catalyst for new development in the area.

From the start, SJCF Architecture’s design team acknowledged the rich history of the Delano neighborhood, which rose from the prairie at the end of the 19^th century. Those were times of drastic change from rough wooden structures, saloons, and brothels, to permanent brick buildings, new businesses, and innovation. Wichita was evolving from its Cowtown roots into a 20^th century Air Capital City. The design team honored this transformation by creating a cohesive pallet of historically influenced materials such as brick, corrugated copper, and aluminum panels, and applying them throughout the Riverfront Stadium development. As a result, it is successfully anchored to the site and its architecture provides an important sense of place that is distinctly Wichita.
