Stadium cleaning services: two hundred people for eight hours, and nothing in between
A stadium is the extreme case of event cleaning and it inverts everything a commercial cleaning contract normally assumes. There is no recurring nightly round and no monthly rate that means anything. There is a fixture list, a crowd, a small permanent presence for the rest of the week, and a very large crew that has to turn the building around before the next thing happens in it.

Buying a turnaround rather than a contract
- Price per event, by crew and by deadline. The number of people on site is set by the size of the crowd and the hour the building must be clear. A quote that does not state both is not a quote for your fixture, and two quotes stating different deadlines are not comparable however similar their hourly rates look.
- Split bowl, concourse and hospitality. The seating bowl is volume work: litter, spillage and a fast sweep across a very large area. Concourses are hard floor and washrooms at high intensity. Hospitality boxes and suites are close to a hotel standard. Three different crews, three different rates, one deadline.
- Treat washrooms during the event as staffed attendance. Washroom servicing through an event is continuous attendance with a stock of consumables, not a cleaning round, and it is the single line most visible to a crowd. Specify it as hours on site with a named frequency rather than as part of the turnaround.
- Agree what happens when the fixture moves. Postponements, replays and weather all move dates at short notice, and a crew booked for Saturday is a crew that has turned other work down. Standby and cancellation terms belong in the contract, because this is the building type where they will be used.
Common questions
- Is there a per-square-foot rate for a stadium?
- No, and none of the companies in this record publishes anything that would apply. Stadium cleaning is crew hours against a deadline; the published figures here are recurring rates for occupied commercial buildings.
- Who cleans between events?
- Usually a small permanent team handling offices, the club shop and whatever operates through the week, with the event crew brought in per fixture. They are two different lines and should be priced separately.
- How far ahead is the crew booked?
- For a full fixture list, usually a season ahead. Availability rather than price is the constraint on a busy weekend.
- Is waste part of it?
- Sometimes, and it is a large number at this scale. Segregation, collection and haulage should each be named, because a stadium generates more waste in four hours than an office does in a year.
