• The team has not submitted a redevelopment plan, and the Maryland Stadium Authority and governor’s office say they stand ready once a vision is presented.
• The December 2023 lease opened a four-year window for negotiating a ground lease and requires a meeting by Dec. 31, 2025 if no deal is reached.
• Maryland has approved $135 million in bond funding for stadium-only renovations, including sound upgrades and a new center-field videoboard due in 2026.
• Full access to up to $600 million in state bonds and a lease extension to 30 years remain contingent on finalizing a ground-lease agreement.
