CASE STUDY

Miller light pavilion —
M&T Bank Stadium

Late-stage dimensional revisions expanded the front bar depth by 6” while the back bar system increased to 48” deep with compounded waterfall geometry. With preseason approaching, the system was re-engineered, fabricated, sealed, and installed within 3.5 weeks.

Final configuration

Front bar:
42’ x 30” double waterfall returns, integrated ADA drop, 3 seams

Back bar:
42’ x 48”, compound waterfall geometry, 5 seams

Front bar cast in a single session for continuity.
Back bar cast in two sessions due to scale.
Final seal coats applied in field.

Integrated details included:

Continuous waterfall geometry
Pre-finished edge conditions
System delivered in sections for rapid installation with minimal field work.
