A major milestone for our ETS team was reached at the new Nissan Stadium – the top net is officially pinned!

Precision in motion: a single panel lifted, positioned, and secured.

Now that Tropicana Field has reopened, this time-lapse offers a look behind the scenes at the process that made it possible – where coordination, timing, and ex*****on had to align at every step.

24 panels
5,000 lbs each
14,400 sf each

Multiply that across more than 345,000 SF of membrane, and the scale of the effort comes into focus.
