” This stadium is extremely large, and as we start to slowly welcome fans back, these drones allow us to maximize the time in between video games and personal occasions to completely sterilize,” Jackie Poulakos, manager of structure operations, told ESPN. “We are constantly challenged by leadership to continually innovate and this new technology is the ideal solution to successfully sanitize and sterilize our arena in an effective way.”
The 0-3 Atlanta Falcons second-half play this season has actually been anything but clean, today with the assistance of some state-of-the-art drones, at least their stadium will be clean. The team and Mercedes-Benz Stadium have actually partnered with Charlotte-based Lucid Drone Technologies for D1 disinfecting drones to sanitize the arena. They will utilize 2 drones to sanitize the 71,000-seat location, with a third on deck if needed.
To get whatever in the area tidy, the drones use electrostatic spraying nozzles that enables for “medical-grade disinfecting chemicals” to be spread in the arena, according to ESPN. The move to use these drones comes as the group prepares to welcome back fans at a minimal capability in October, starting on the 11th when they host the Carolina Panthers.
While the Falcons are the first string thought to utilize this drone innovation, according to ESPN, they arent the only one presenting modern way to get their stadium ready for fans. The Panthers have a Xenex LightStrike Robot– described as a “germ-zapping robot” by team president Tom Glick– on hand for video games at Bank of America Stadium. The Panthers are inviting in 5,240 fans on Sunday when they host the Arizona Cardinals.
