Oak View Group makes bid to build new Seattle Memorial Stadium; others expected

The developers behind Seattle's Climate Pledge Arena have made a formal bid to build a new Memorial Stadium at Seattle Center.

The Oak View Group (OVG) has submitted a proposal to build a new stadium on the site under what it is calling the "One Roof Partnership." The name borrows from the Seattle Kraken’s community foundation and is a reference to the proposed partnership with Seattle Public Schools (SPS) and the city of Seattle.

An early design shows that OVG is proposing a small stadium that preserves the existing World War II Memorial Wall on the east side of the existing complex.

“It's been forgotten. In this plan, it will not only not be forgotten, but it will also be honored and featured, as will many other things,” said Kraken CEO Tod Leiweke in advance of his group submitting a formal bid to the city and school district.
