open-in-new
<p>Ron Labinski (December 7, 1937 – January 1, 2023) was an American architect, notable for influential designs of stadiums for professional baseball and football. Focusing for much of his career on sports venues, Labinski was instrumental in establishing sports and assembly venue design as architectural specialties.
