by Rebecca Walker — February 7, 2011—With a record-breaking crowd of more than 100,000 expected to ascend on Cowboys Stadium for Super Bowl XLV Sunday evening, Jani-King’s stadium cleaning crews were going through their pre-clean processes to get the facility ready for the big game.
The Super Bowl is the biggest sporting event of the year, and preparing a stadium to house this type of event will require a massive effort. To prepare the stadium for the game between the Green Bay Packers and the Pittsburgh Steelers, 70 Jani-King crew members were present each day of the preceding week, working on a wide range of tasks including touching up areas where vendors have scuffed walls and prepping concession areas and club houses.
After this step, the entire stadium was swept and security clearances were reset. On Super Bowl Sunday, more than 442 Jani-King Commercial Cleaning crew members were expected to assemble at Lone Star Park to receive their game day badges, only granted to the cleaning crew personnel after they had passed rigorous FBI background checks.
Jani-King staff members were in charge of cleaning all areas of the stadium including parking lots, outdoor fan plazas, and party pass areas. In all, Jani-King accepted the challenge of cleaning up after nearly 105,000 fans and more than 15,000 additional party pass patrons, all while working through the logistics of moving trash from receptacles to collection points and anticipating crowd flow direction changes.
