Maryland Stadium Authority approves Show Place Arena study

Maryland stadium officials have agreed to conduct a study of the Show Place Arena and equestrian center in Upper Marlboro.

The Maryland Stadium Authority Board voted in favor of conducting the study on Tuesday. The $40,000 study, which was requested by and will be paid for by the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission, will give an update of the market potential of the arena, which is used primarily for trade shows and high school graduations.
