Avaya Stadium

MLS EARTHQUAKES OPEN A STADIUM FOCUSED ON ITS FANS

Problem: MLS Earthquakes' were building a new stadium, Avaya Stadium. The plan was to feature numerous concession stands with kitchens scattered around the stadium. These concession stands were to sell fan favorites such as pizza, hotdogs, hamburgers, etc. These fan favorites were also high grease producing foods. The engineering team was unsure on how to best accomidate the grease interceptor(s) so ensure the plumbing and sewage system was properly protected. 

Solution: The engineering team heard about Big Dipper Automatic Grease Traps. With the variety of sizes and ability to install in the most space-constrained locations, it was determined these could be the perfect solution. Big Dipper is simple to service and maintain. The staff remove the grease collector, empty it into a rendering barrel, and put it back on - eliminating the need for pump trucks. This was ideal given the complexity of the kitchen arrangement at Avaya Stadium. 

Result: Since the stadium was opened, there have been no complaints about the Big Dipper unit. Avaya Stadium can focus on delivering great concessions to its fans.
