“VenueShield is the culmination of extensive and ongoing work by our Global Task Force to develop this industry-leading set of protocols that will ensure the highest levels of health and safety for our employees, entertainers, athletes and guests. We appreciate the expertise provided by the world-class team of experts we have assembled. We look forward to growing the VenueShield program with our partners at AECOM, SERVPRO and Drexel University College of Medicine as we continue to reopen across the globe.”

Somebody had to get out there and be first, and I knew we would be and that we could pull it off safely. First of all, this arena… they've got this VenueShield. It’s a project they have where they literally clean the venue top to bottom which is huge. It's been super successful. It was a home run and I couldn’t be happier. We can share what we learned here, doing three events, with other sports leagues, who are reaching out to us and asking."

“We’ve got a pretty good example in Lynn Family Stadium that says when you put all the restrictions into effect and you enforce them. That’s a really important point. When you are out there working it and enforcing it, it appears you can do some of these things safely. We’ve been impressed. I think they’ve had three games, and I’ve been impressed with what I have seen.”

“At AECOM, we have a deep understanding of sports and entertainment venues. We are excited to work with ASM Global on the many aspects of their VenueShield program, including the development and implementation of the phase one environmental hygiene project. Sports and entertainment venues have long been symbols of hope and pride to the communities in which they reside. Now more than ever, preparing these venues for the safe return of fans, teams and entertainers is critical.”

“We at SERVPRO believe it is our duty to help businesses reopening safely—including sports and entertainment facilities—so we are proud to be a part of the VenueShield program. SERVPRO franchises have been trusted to defend public spaces against harmful pathogens across North America, including high-profile locations such as national quarantine sites on military bases, international airports, cruise ships, assisted living facilities, and thousands of first responder vehicles and stations. Our Certified: SERVPRO Cleaned program—using CDC-recommended cleaning procedures and EPA-approved cleaning products—gives employees, patrons, and guests peace of mind that a facility has been taken to a ‘higher standard of clean.’”
