U.S. Bank Stadium Is Ready For Superbowl

U.S. Bank Stadium is getting all gussied up for Superbowl LII. The 2 year old stadium that hosts the Minnesota Vikings during the regular season, is undergoing a small, multi-million dollar cosmetic facelift for Sunday’s big game.
The crew are currently in the final stages of preparation, and NFL Field Director Ed Mangan said he is confident that he and his crew will be ready on February 4th. “We gotta pull the end zones out because they’re Vikings end zones, so we gotta take those out, replace those six panels in each end zone, and the panels at the 50, take those out and replace those with blank ones. And then we repaint everything for the Super Bowl team.”
But there are some challenges while getting ready for the game- The Halftime Show rehearsals, for example. WIth the venue in the north, there are no warm places to rehearse, other than in U.S. Bank Stadium, and that means extra field clean up. The crew uses magnets to comb the field for any stray nuts, bolts or random wardrobe pieces that might have popped off, as well as a special stamping tool to make sure there aren’t any dangerous soft spots.
I’ve been through a lot of stadiums worldwide, but in my book I love this stadium,” says George Toma, the groundskeeper for the NFL. ”This is the best stadium I’ve been in. Why? Everything’s right here for you. We come out that tunnel, and we’re only 100 feet to the playing field for our equipment and for our paint and everything. Not only that, but the people who run this stadium are outstanding, and then some.”
Kickoff is set for approx. 6:30 on Sunday, February 4th.

3 Simple Changes to Improve Your CCS
December 22, 2025

Contamination control failures rarely stem from complex science; more often, they’re the result of everyday practices that haven’t evolved with modern cleanroom demands. Simple shifts—like cleaning in a strict top-to-bottom flow, choosing materials that trap submicron particles instead of redistributing them, and standardizing tools so operators aren’t improvising—can dramatically reduce risk while improving efficiency….

How to Avoid Stockouts in Cleanroom Consumables
December 22, 2025

In an era where supply chain volatility can stall production overnight, smart inventory strategy has become a competitive advantage. Benchmark’s no-cost inventory reserve model flips the traditional risk equation by letting manufacturers lock in dedicated stock—on their own timeline—without tying up capital or warehouse space. It’s a practical reminder that reliability isn’t just about…

How to Clean Large Corridors Faster
December 22, 2025

In many industrial and CNC environments, cleaning routines quietly drain productivity because teams rely on tools designed for much smaller spaces. Upsizing something as simple as a mop—from a 16-inch head to a 36-inch, purpose-built option—can dramatically reduce fatigue while helping crews cover more ground in less time. It’s a reminder that operational efficiency…

The Cleaning Mistake Slowing Down Room Changeovers
December 22, 2025

Cleanroom changeovers often drag on not because of operator error, but because outdated or inefficient cleaning materials force teams into repetitive work that quietly erodes productivity. As manufacturers tighten contamination controls and uptime expectations, investing in higher-efficiency cleaning tools—and updating SOPs to match—has become a practical way to reclaim hundreds of lost hours each…
