Who Is the Official Roofer of the Dallas Cowboys?
When you hear “America’s Team,” you probably think of star-studded lineups and legendary comebacks. Behind the scenes, however, a critical partnership keeps the action going rain or shine:
KPost Roofing & Waterproofing, the
Official Roofing & Waterproofing Partner of the Dallas Cowboys since 2015. Here’s an insider’s look at why this collaboration matters—and what it tells homeowners about top-tier roofing standards.
1. Partnership Background and Purpose
- Establishment: In September 2015, the Cowboys tapped KPost to maintain AT&T Stadium’s complex roof system, ensuring uninterrupted events and fan comfort.
- Scope: Beyond emergency tarping and leaks, the partnership covers ongoing waterproofing, preventive maintenance, and full inspections of one of the world’s largest retractable roofs.
- Goals:
Maximize roof uptime, extend service life, and uphold NFL safety and performance criteria.
2. AT&T Stadium Roof: Key Features
- Retractable Design: Two massive panels—each weighing over 2.2 million pounds—slide open or closed in about 12 minutes, adapting to weather or event needs.
- Materials: High-strength steel trusses support a multi-layer membrane system, incorporating single-ply synthetic roofing for waterproofing and insulation.
- Drainage & Ventilation:
Engineered gutters and internal drains handle up to 3.5 inches of rain per hour, while ventilation zones prevent heat buildup under the membrane.
3. Selection Criteria for NFL “Official” Roofing Partner
To earn—and keep—the title of an Official NFL Roofing Partner, a contractor must demonstrate:
- Technical Expertise: Proven experience with large-scale, specialized roofing systems (e.g., retractable, hybrid membrane assemblies).
- Rigorous Safety Standards: Compliance with OSHA, NFPA, and league-mandated safety protocols on every site visit.
- 24/7 Rapid Response: Ability to mobilize crews within hours of weather alerts to protect high-value assets.
- Comprehensive Documentation: Detailed reporting of inspections, repairs, and material traceability for insurance and league records.
4. Day-to-Day Responsibilities
- Routine Inspections: Quarterly roof deck and membrane assessments, including infrared scans to spot hidden moisture.
- Preventive Maintenance: Re-sealing seams, replacing worn flashing, and cleaning drainage channels to forestall leaks.
- Emergency Repairs: Tarp deployment, membrane patching, and structural shoring whenever hail or wind damage occurs.
- End-of-Season Overhauls: Full system reviews during off-season windows to address any cumulative wear before game day.
5. Lessons for Dallas Homeowners
While few residential roofs rival AT&T Stadium in scale, the partnership highlights best practices transferable to any home:
- Regular Inspections: Just as the Cowboys schedule quarterly checks, aim for biannual roof reviews—especially after spring storms and winter cold snaps.
- Quality Materials: Stadium membranes are engineered for extreme weather; for your home, choose shingles or metal panels with high wind (110 mph+) and impact (Class 3/4) ratings.
- Proactive Maintenance: Clearing gutters, re-nailing loose flashings, and treating algae early can add years to your roof’s lifespan.
- Emergency Preparedness: Keep a tarp kit on hand and know your local roofer’s 24/7 contact to minimize water intrusion after a sudden leak.
