The Egg Harbor Crossplex | RF002
The arena floor is the easy part of a sports complex; the spaces around it are where the planning gets hard. The Egg Harbor Crossplex RF002 is an 80×180 sports complex in New Jersey with a 30×180 wing and a 10×180 wing tied into its sidewall. One wing carries a second floor and a third-floor telescope deck.
That mix of arena, wings, and upper floors is worth reading before you scope your own sports arena building.
Photos of an 80×180 Sports Complex
Start with the color plan: Light Stone siding under an Ocean Blue roof, with white soffit and gutters. Then look high on the walls, where small white sliding windows run under the eaves and gables. At the right end, follow the lower blue wing roof as it steps down from the main roof, and notice the white deck rail beside it.

Sports Arena Building Specifications
The arena spans 80 feet with no interior posts, carried by scissor trusses at 4 feet on center with a 3.5/12 top chord pitch. Its columns are 3-ply 2×8 glu-laminated, and the wings use 3-ply 2×6, every one set at least 3 feet into grade on a concrete spread footer. The wings use 4/12 mono pitch trusses at 4 feet on center.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you add a second floor to a post-frame building?
Plan it into the wing from the start. Here, the 10×180 wing holds a second floor with an L-shaped stair at each end, designed for a 100 lb load.
How wide can a post-frame building be without posts in the middle?
Every Pioneer building is full span with no interior posts. The arena here spans 80 feet on scissor trusses at 4 feet on center, so the floor stays open.
What kind of walls does an indoor sports arena need?
Walls that take the play. Here, 5/8-inch fir Texture-111 runs 12 feet high around the arena, with 4-foot-high openings at the benches, penalty box, and viewing areas.
Pricing & Financing Options
A sports complex quote follows the structure around the arena more than the arena itself. The two mono-pitch wings, the second floor with two stairs, the third-floor telescope deck and dome support, the 16×16 composite deck, and the interior steel and Texture-111 each move the number on their own. The 69 windows and the stamped New Jersey prints add scope, too. Pioneer does not publish a price because none of those are catalog items. Tell us the arena size, what the wings have to hold, and the finish you want inside, and we will price your version.
Financing is available through Hearth. Learn more about our Financing Options, call (888) 448-2505, or Request Your Free Quote to get started.

Final Thoughts
Decide what sits outside the arena before you frame the wing. This sheet has a 2x2x28-foot concrete telescope pedestal with a 2-foot radius top, a third-floor deck with a wooden ladder, a dome support deck, and a 16×16 composite deck reached from the second floor only. Each is a small line on the plan and a real line on the quote. The trade-off is that every addition is one more structure the stairs, floors, and walls have to work around. Settle where each one lands before the wing walls go up.
