Project Overview

State Farm Stadium, home of the Arizona Cardinals and host to Super Bowls, Final Fours, and major concerts, required a comprehensive renovation to refresh public areas, luxury suites, and team facilities. The challenge: complete everything during the brief off-season window with entertainment venue standards.

Our team mobilized 72 professionals working 24/7 to transform the stadium in just 12 weeks. We applied high-performance, traffic-rated coatings throughout concourses and public areas, luxury finishes in VIP suites, and custom team-branded colors in player areas. The project was completed on schedule for the season opener using advanced project management.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about sports and entertainment venue painting projects

How do you complete stadium projects during the off-season?

We mobilize large crews (often 50-100 professionals) working 24/7 in multiple shifts to maximize productivity during compressed timelines. Our project managers coordinate closely with facility operations to ensure all work is completed before the season opener. We use fast-cure coating systems that allow for accelerated schedules without compromising quality.

What makes coatings suitable for high-traffic stadium concourses?

Stadium concourses require industrial-grade traffic-rated coating systems designed for extreme durability. We use scuff-resistant, mar-resistant formulations that can withstand tens of thousands of fans per game. These specialized coatings include easy-clean surfaces that resist staining from spills and maintain their appearance for 15+ years even under heavy use.

How do you handle luxury suite painting requirements?

Luxury suites demand premium designer-quality finishes that rival high-end residential work. We provide custom color coordination, high-sheen luxury coatings, and decorative accent wall treatments. Our finishing specialists have experience with the level of detail expected in premium hospitality spaces, ensuring suites meet or exceed the standards of five-star venues.

What coordination is needed with ongoing stadium operations?

We work closely with facilities management, security, and event operations teams to coordinate access, staging areas, and material deliveries. Our project managers attend daily coordination meetings with other trades and contractors. We maintain flexible scheduling to accommodate concerts, special events, and facility tours that may occur during renovation periods.

How do you maintain NFL and venue branding specifications?

We work from detailed brand guidelines and color specifications provided by teams and venues. Our color matching specialists use spectrophotometers to ensure exact matches to team colors and corporate branding. All finishes are reviewed and approved by facility management before application. We maintain documentation of all colors and products used for future touch-ups and maintenance.
