Stadiums and athletic facilities contain elevated surfaces that can be difficult to access and highly visible to spectators, athletes, visitors, and event partners.
Following drone cleaning at Les Miller Field at the University of Illinois Chicago, an Assistant Facilities Director shared:
“The stadium scoreboard and skyboxes/stadium club look 10 years newer than they did before they were cleaned with drones.”
This result demonstrates how professional exterior cleaning can make a noticeable visual difference in prominent areas of a sports facility.
Scoreboards, skyboxes, stadium clubs, facades, and other elevated surfaces contribute to a visitor’s overall impression of a facility. Over time, environmental exposure can leave these areas looking aged or neglected.
Cleaning these surfaces can help:
- Improve the appearance of high-visibility areas
- Create a more welcoming environment for visitors
- Support ongoing facility-maintenance efforts
- Refresh areas that may be difficult to reach
- Extend the visual value of existing infrastructure
Drone technology offers facilities teams another option for evaluating elevated exterior-cleaning projects. It may be especially relevant for areas where conventional access is difficult, disruptive, or equipment-intensive.
The cleaning method must still be matched to the surface, building conditions, surrounding environment, and project objectives.
Depending on the property and material, drone cleaning may be evaluated for elevated exterior surfaces such as scoreboards, facade areas, skybox exteriors, stadium clubs, and other difficult-to-reach sections. A site review is required before determining whether the method is appropriate.
