Ron Labinski (December 7, 1937 – January 1, 2023) was an American architect, notable for influential designs of stadiums for professional baseball and football.

[2] Showing an interest in architecture from an early age, Labinski remembered drawing Ebbetts Field as a child, foreshadowing his career.

Following graduation in 1962[4] he studied in Europe on a fellowship for six months, then served in the U.S. Army for two years as an engineer at Fort Riley, Kansas.

[5][6] After leaving the Army, Labinski worked for an architectural firm in Kansas City designing hospitals.

[7] Arrowhead was one of the first of a wave of stadiums specifically built for football, supplanting previously popular configurations that attempted to accommodate multiple sports.

The most influential of these was Oriole Park at Camden Yards in Baltimore, which incorporated existing buildings and framed views of the field's surroundings.
