Patriots Stadium

With the capacity to hold nearly 70,000 people for any event, the stadium™s restrooms were one area that offered room for improvement. Originally equipped with paper towel dispensers, the stadium used an average of 6,264,000 paper towels per year, at a cost of more than $50,000 for paper, maintenance and waste removal. In September 2009, Excel Dryer, Inc., manufacturer of the patented high-speed, energy-efficient XLERATOR hand dryer, announced a partnership with the New England Patriots to install more than 125 XLERATOR dryers that feature Excel Dryer™s exclusive, custom digital imaging cover technology throughout Gillette Stadium. The units have several different cover designs featuring the team™s logo, colors and some with a sustainability message letting fans know why they™ve switched from paper towels.
