Thought Leaders
Nearly 40 years into its history, Overland is at an inflection point. The evolution began in 2021, when the firm expanded its practice to include internationally renowned architect Bryan Trubey, whose 30-year career includes building and leading one of the most influential sports and entertainment practices in the world.
Fair Park has the potential to be one of the most significant, iconic, monumental, urban entertainment and sports destination environments anywhere in the world. And ultimately, this once-in-a-lifetime project is much bigger than a quantified economic impact.
Bryan K. Trubey, OVERLAND Partners
Bryan Trubey is known for designing some of the world’s most memorable, recognizable, and critically acclaimed sports and entertainment facilities. He launched his sports career 30 years ago as the lead designer for the National Stadium in Hong Kong, and since has elevated the power of what sports facilities can be – from fan experience to revenue to enhancing player performance. Notable projects led by Bryan include the celebrated SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, Globe Life Field in Arlington, TX, AT&T Stadium in Arlington, TX, Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, IN, and US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, MN. Most recently, he is leading the historic renovation of the Cotton Bowl Stadium in Dallas, TX.
Bryan is noted for his powerful design methodology that looks to the unique culture and context of a project for inspiration. “When I begin a project, it is hard to get my mind to settle down. There are so many ideas. I just see things differently,” says Bryan. “Eventually, ideas emerge that move in a direction combining all the influences that are unique to each project. The client, the place, climate, geography, culture, history, and people — people are everything. The forms we create are all focused on heightening the experience that every individual has in our work. We hope that all who experience our work leave lifted and believing that they have experienced something truly original. This word speaks to us, it drives us.”
Bryan’s projects and contributions to the sports and entertainment industries have garnered national and international media attention including NBC, CBS, ABC, ESPN, The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, Forbes, and Wired. In 2016, Bryan was named to the 50 Most Influential by Sports Business Journal.
