For expansive buildings, such as stadiums, structural stability and occupant comfort are essential success factors. Stadiums house thousands of people under one “roof,” and need to provide an environment that not only prioritizes durability, but also thermal efficiency to enhance the occupant’s experience. Utilizing composite metal hybrid (CMH) continuous insulation systems is the key to a high-performing stadium.
This article showcases three expansive stadiums that installed GreenGirt CMH™ and SMARTci® systems to ensure high-quality performance that would last throughout the buildings’ lifetimes.
Spokane Stadium
Construction of the 12,000-seat Spokane Stadium in Washington, which installed the GreenGirt CMH continuous insulation system on the building’s walls.
The Spokane Stadium project was the construction of a new soccer stadium for Spokane Public Schools and larger sports events, concerts, and more. Fit to hold 12,000 seats, this stadium supports year-round events in Spokane’s downtown environment. To support the building’s sustainability efforts while maintaining the structure’s durability, the GreenGirt CMH system was installed horizontally on the building’s walls at 3” deep and 16” on center, with mineral wool insulation and metal panel cladding.
Las Vegas 51 Stadium
Construction of the Las Vegas 51 Stadium in Nevada, fit to hold 33,000 seats, which installed the GreenGirt CMH continuous insulation system on the building’s walls.
The Las Vegas 51 Stadium in Nevada was the construction of a new ballpark stadium, home of the Las Vegas Aviators. This stadium was designed to fit 33,000 fans, and includes exhibition spaces to showcase sports-themed artwork and a fixed, spherical-shaped roof for year-round events.
To maintain the stadium’s structural integrity and leverage its thermal efficiency, the GreenGirt CMH system was installed horizontally and vertically on the building’s walls at 2” deep and 24” on center, with mineral wool insulation and single skin cladding.
Nissan Stadium

The Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tennessee is the new stadium that serve as the home field for the Tennessee Titans football team. This new stadium will have an enclosed translucent roof, panoramic city views, and 64,000 seats for year-round events. When constructing this project, high-tech, sustainable materials are at the forefront of their design decisions to minimize waste and preserve energy and water.
To support the stadium’s sustainability initiatives, the GreenGirt Max CMH system will be installed on the building’s walls both vertically at 3” deep and 16” on center, and horizontally at 2” deep and 24” on center. Mineral wool will complete the system as it supports Petrarch Stone and Metal panel cladding materials.
Conclusion
GreenGirt CMH and SMARTci systems have the ability to provide high-quality thermal efficiency and durability without sacrificing any other continuous insulation performance requirements. Depending on the exact needs of the stadium, there is a CMH system ready to tackle your building’s needs and offer the best experience for thousands of stadium occupants throughout the stadium’s lifetime.
