CAPE MAY, Del. – An 80,000-square-foot sports complex will soon be coming to Cape May, Del.
Construction on the domed complex is planned to start this spring. It will be located on a parcel of land at the Cape May Airport’s aviation park.
According to a media release, the complex will host sports such as soccer, lacrosse, basketball, volleyball, pickleball, and futsal, and will also feature a multipurpose space, interactive golf simulators, areas for jujitsu, and dining options.
“Our organization’s vision is to be not only an innovative leader in transportation but also a catalyst for partnered growth and prosperity in both states,” says Stephen D. Williams, Delaware River and Bay Authority (DRBA) deputy executive director. “Together with our partners in Cape May County, we’ve worked hard to transform Cape May Airport, creating an environment for businesses to develop and prosper. The sports complex has significant community support, and the airport is a central location for easy access. We’re pleased to be able to help facilitate this project for the region’s benefit.”
Proposed by developers Jamie Sutton and Bob Buglak, the project was inspired by the need for a community space to gather and play sports year-round and to attract national and international sporting tournaments. “We’re very excited about bringing a much-needed indoor sports facility to the area, and we appreciate all of the assistance from the DRBA, who has been instrumental in making this a viable project,” Sutton adds.
