Bank Stadium, and their associated insurance companies.

All parties agreed it was in the MSFA’s best interest to replace the original exterior enclosure with a superior system to what is currently in place. As stewards of the public’s investment in this stadium, the MSFA also questioned whether the original enclosure system would perform its necessary function over the life of the building. The design and construction team’s responsibility was to deliver a building that would pass the test of time and there was sufficient evidence to be concerned that the system as designed and built may not.

Participants agreed that a mutually determined solution was the best approach to this matter given its scope and complexity.
