Pro Football Hall of Fame Coon

Fawcett stadium is the home of the start of each NFL season. In July 2013, the stadium was in need of some very large concrete repairs to get ready for the 50th Anniversary of Pro Football Hall of Fame. Scott McGhee, Project Manager at Coon Restoration & Sealants was under tight time constraints to get the work completed on time.

SikaQuick 1000 was selected to repair the concrete walls by forming and pouring the product. One of the main benefits is that a coating can be applied in six hours. It also rapidly hardens while gaining early strength. The deeper pours were extended with pea gravel.

Once all repairs were done to the stadium and wall, there needed to be a way to protect the wall from further damage. Miracote MPC restores and protects concrete surfaces from the consequences of exposure to water and chloride intrususion, freeze thaw damage and carbonation. It also is an extremely durable, cost-effective protective coating that is breathable and allows for the transmission of inherent moisture vapor within concrete without blistering or delaminating. By lowering moisture content within the concrete, Miracote MPC helps reduce the potential for corrosion of steel reinforcement.

Kevin Shiplett, Pro Football Hall of Fame representative, says "the Pro Football Hall of Fame, in partnership with others, secured the services of Coon Restoration & Sealants and revitalized the Fawcett Stadium retaining wall. Fawcett Stadium is a jewel within the Canton community and its importance as the site for the Pro Football Hall of Fame Enshrinement Ceremony and the NFL Hall of Fame Game cannot be overstated. Due to the dilapidated condition of the retaining wall it was obvious the best teams available would be able to restore it to the finish it deserves. The Pro Football Hall of Fame was fortunate to partner with Coon Restoration and Sealants and the Chas E Phipps Company, along with their use of Miracote MPC concrete coating."
