SoFi Stadium Enhances Operational Efficiency with Signature Systems’ OmniDeck^® Turf Protection System

SoFi Stadium is a world-class venue that hosts a diverse range of events, from some of the biggest games in sports to high-profile concerts and large-scale productions. To maintain the integrity of its premium playing surface while accommodating heavy foot traffic and equipment, SoFi Stadium turned to Signature Systems’ OmniDeck for its turf protection needs.

With its packed event calendar, SoFi Stadium required a durable and efficient flooring solution to protect its field while allowing for quick transitions between events. The stadium needed a solution that was not only protective but also easy to deploy and maintain.

“SoFi Stadium has a demanding event schedule, and time is money. With OmniDeck, we can install and remove flooring quickly, which helps us maximize our event capacity. The durability and ease of use have been game-changers for us.”

— Colby Gardner, Senior Director of Turf and Grounds, SoFi Stadium

SoFi Stadium selected OmniDeck turf protection system from Signature Systems due to its exceptional durability, ease of use and operational efficiency. OmniDeck’s lightweight, interlocking panels provided a reliable surface capable of withstanding the weight of heavy equipment, including cranes and forklifts, while maintaining the integrity of the field. Additionally, OmniDeck’s unique puzzle piece design enabled flexible configurations, allowing panels to be installed around goalposts and other fixed objects.

OmniDeck’s rapid installation process made it an ideal solution for SoFi Stadium. With over 5,300 panels needed to cover the entire field, they can complete the job in just 8 hours – that is 12,000 square feet per hour or about a panel every 5 seconds. This unmatched operational efficiency allows SoFi Stadium to quickly prepare for events and transition back to gameday operations with minimal downtime, allowing the stadium to maximize its revenue-generating opportunities.

To ensure a smooth implementation process, Signature Systems worked closely with SoFi Stadium. The team offered hands-on support during the initial installation, providing training and best practices to ensure the efficiency and longevity of OmniDeck’s performance.

By utilizing OmniDeck, SoFi Stadium has streamlined its operational efficiency, reduced labor costs and ensured superior field protection.

“We have always felt supported, and it’s been a very easy transition thanks to Signature Systems.”

— Colby Gardner, Senior Director of Turf and Grounds, SoFi Stadium
