Case Study: Pro Football Stadium Restores Field Safety and Avoids Game-Day Disruption with Envista Forensics

Pro Football Stadium cancels 1 game and restores field safety with Envista Forensics

The customer, a pro football stadium, faced a business interruption crisis when a scheduled nationally televised game was canceled moments before kickoff. The challenge was an unsafe playing surface caused by incorrect paint application on the synthetic turf field, which led to a major insurance claim. They engaged the vendor, Envista Forensics, to investigate the cause.

Envista Forensics implemented a scientific investigation using their Expert Alliance, which included a landscape architect and a paint and coatings expert. The vendor identified that the wrong type of paint had been used and provided specifications for the complete removal and replacement of the field. Their solution included outlining new maintenance procedures and game-day certification standards to prevent future issues, allowing the stadium to safely host events again.
