Stadium Drapery & Soft-Goods Compliance

Facility: Tropicana Field (Tampa, Florida)

Service Provider: On-Site Drapery Cleaners

Scope: Non-immersion drapery cleaning & restoration, repairs, stain removal, flame-retardant application, NFPA testing coordination, fire-code documentation

The Problem

A Major League Baseball stadium needed high-volume stage drape, masking, and soft goods restored and brought back into documented fire-code compliance—without disrupting a fixed event calendar or risking a failed Fire Inspection.

Key Constraints

  • Tight, event-driven access windows and restricted back-of-house logistics
  • Expired/missing flame-retardant documentation on critical event soft goods
  • Scale: 120 panels, including 45 oversized panels (~85’ H × 30’ W)
  • Condition issues: rips/tears, severe staining, and localized mold staining
  • Multiple stakeholders: facilities, event ops, in-house labor, and fire authority expectations

What On-Site Delivered

1) Controlled Scope + Work Sequencing

  • Physical count, itemization by location/use, condition coding (repairs, stain categories, treatment requirement)
  • Work plan locked to the stadium schedule and access rules

2) Venue-Friendly Execution Model

  • Venue labor supports take-down/rehang, rigging moves, lifts/access equipment
  • On-Site executes specialized cleaning/restoration, repair coordination, flame-retardant application, testing coordination, and documentation
  • Planned calls only—no disruption to event operations
Restoration + Repairs at Stadium Scale

3) Restoration + Repairs at Stadium Scale

  • Non-immersion cleaning to reduce shrinkage, fabric distortion risk and fading
  • Oversized panel strategy: sectional split → controlled processing → re-seaming for install

4) Documentation for Inspectors

  • NFPA Certificates and service records packaged for Fire Code Compliance
  • Item list by location + service dates + recommended re-check intervals
  • Items entered into On-Site’s software which tracks future expiration dates

Timeline (Milestones)

  • Apr 19: assessment, scope, pricing approval

Results

  • 120 panels including 45 oversized panels (~85’ H × 30’ W) cleaned/restored, repaired, and re-certified
  • Work completed on schedule within event windows with 0 event cancellations
