Jason Tedrow - President & CEO at InProduction

In this episode of The One Soccer Nation Podcast, host Kareem Rae sits down with Jason Tedrow, President & CEO of InProduction, the largest venue transformation and event services company in North America.

Jason pulls back the curtain on how temporary and modular stadium infrastructure is reshaping professional soccer, college athletics, and major global events. From USL partnerships and fast-tracked stadium timelines to cost efficiency, scalability, and future-proofing club investments, this conversation delivers decision-grade insight for owners, investors, architects, and city leaders.

Key themes include:
- Why modular and semi-permanent stadiums are one of the fastest-growing solutions in soccer
- The real timeline from site selection to opening day
- How clubs can scale capacity based on demand without locking themselves into risky long-term builds
- Lessons from projects like Inter Miami, Phoenix Rising, Northwestern University, and global mega-events
- What young professionals should know about building a career in sports infrastructure and live events

This is a must-listen episode for anyone thinking seriously about stadium strategy, expansion, or sustainable growth in modern football.
