As part of a tri-venture, McKissack provided construction management services for the new $350 million NFL stadium for the Philadelphia Eagles. The stadium includes 9,000 Club Seats as well several Luxury Suites which feature retractable glass windows, allowing fans the opportunity to watch the game in climate-controlled comfort or with the open-air experience. 308 points of sale for food and beverages at nearly 100 concession stands, portable kiosks, 10 novelty stands, and a “team store” cater to the needs of the fans. Two complete commissaries provide fans with first-class fare. One commissary services the concession stands while the other provide for patrons in the Club Seating and Luxury Suite areas. The stadium features 15 escalators, including three that reach the upper seating bowl. Nine passenger elevators and three service elevators handle the needs of the event staff. The wing-like roof structure provides covering for fans in the event of inclement weather.
The construction included 3,200 concrete piles measuring 33 miles laid end to end, 15,500 tons of structural steel and 7,200 tons of reinforced steel for the 150-feet tall, 12-story facility. Upon completion, there were 10 miles of handrails, 59 miles of plumbing pipe and 994 miles of electrical wires in and around the building with new parking lots with a 22,000 cars capacity.
