Stadium Subroof Systems
Stadium & Venue Waterproofing
A stadium’s seating bowl is exposed to the elements, but the spaces beneath it must remain dry, functional, and operational. Our subroof systems create a protective barrier below the stadium seating and above concessions, kitchens, restrooms, storage areas, and service spaces.
Designed as a suspended waterproof roofing system, the subroof captures rainwater, snowmelt, and other moisture that passes through the seating structure and directs it safely to the stadium drainage system. This protects occupants, preserves structural components, and prevents damage to critical mechanical and electrical systems.
By combining effective water management, structural integration, and long-term durability, our subroof installations help stadium owners maximize facility performance while reducing maintenance and lifecycle costs.
What a Subroof Protects
- Concessions & Kitchens: Keep food-service areas dry, sanitary, and open for business.
- Restrooms & Concourses: Protect high-traffic guest spaces from drips and standing water.
- Mechanical & Electrical Systems: Shield critical equipment and controls from moisture damage.
- Storage & Service Spaces: Safeguard inventory, equipment, and back-of-house operations.
- Structural Components: Limit long-term moisture exposure below the seating bowl.

Subroofing FAQs
What is a stadium subroof?
A subroof is a suspended waterproof roofing system installed beneath a stadium’s seating bowl. It captures the water that passes through the seating structure and routes it to the stadium’s drainage system.
Which spaces does a subroof protect?
Concessions, kitchens, restrooms, storage areas, and service spaces below the seating, along with the mechanical and electrical systems that serve them.
Where has JR&CO installed a subroof?
JR&CO completed the subroof at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, Texas.
