Coil-coated metal chosen for soccer stadium
- February 20, 2012
- News Release
- Metals/Materials
Coil-coated aluminum was chosen to clad the first world-class soccer stadium in the U.S.: Livestrong Sporting Park in Kansas City, Kan. The stadium is clad with about 60,800 sq. ft. of Alucobond® prepainted aluminum composite metal in four custom shades of blue and gray. The panels are installed as cladding throughout the interior and exterior of the stadium, including on entry portals, canopies, columns, concession stands, luxury suite fronts, scoreboard backs, and interior decking.
Colors serve as visual cues throughout the stadium. Concessions are framed in blue to highlight food areas. The suite fronts feature a different color on each level, with an accent band on the exterior featuring all four colors. The east exterior of the stadium has a multicolored checkered pattern of prepainted metal panels that coordinates with the multicolored glass doors.
Opened in June 2011, the $200 million stadium is home to Kansas City's Major League Soccer (MLS) team.
