It should be cleaned when it's dirty.

2016. The Cajundome roof was replaced with a self-cleaning coating, similar to that of the Superdome in New Orleans. The coating is supposed to clean itself of residue, debris and stains during every rainfall.
The coating has failed.

The Superdome’s failed too. They just cleaned/repainted it last year so Caesars wouldn’t have their name slapped down on a moldy canvas. But it was just as bad.
Id like to know what company we hired to do this, and I’d like to know why we haven’t sued them yet.

I don't know what the problem is, it worked fine in Nebraska.

Put some sprinklers up top with that spray and forget. Bom.

Two biggest eyesores of the athletic campus. Cajundome roof and Cajun field press box
Re: Not much we can do about it
I’m guessing they went with a lighter color to make it cheaper to cool? Otherwise, dumb. It looked better before and I don’t ever remember it looking dirty—not that dirty for sure.
Re: Not much we can do about it
The Cajundome roof is awful. They clean it like every 10 years and then it just looks terrible again. What an eyesore.

Before they cleaned it in 2016 it was pretty dirty but definitely not that dirty.

'Y'all quit picking on the roof, ;) it sleeps outside at night and has CoVid.

It was dirtier than it is now.

You are correct. Almost The entire roof was black.
I sprayed a portion of my roof with liquid copper fungicide. It looks like it worked ok but not entirely clean. I will have to reapply this summer.
Re: Not much we can do about it
It had a warranty too. I pass by the dome 4 times a day and have to look at it every time.
From the article back in 2017:
The product, Kymax by GAF Coatings, was applied to the Superdome after Hurricane Katrina. When the Cajundome staff prepared bid specifications for the roof resurfacing project, it included that as an alternate, not sure if it was affordable, but the bid came in at an affordable $50,000, he said.
The use of that material, Ashurst said, secured the Cajundome a 20-year clean warranty instead of a 10-year warranty.

Hi, I’ve been trying to reach you regarding your extended dome cleaning warranty.

O it was a lot worst than that. I pass it every day for the last 20 years and before the last cleaning was the worst.

Re: Not much we can do about it
What is the cost to clean? Why is this not just in the yearly budget as a maintenance item? It's not like we don't know the kind of environment this building resides in....
More examples of Louisiana (the state) half assing every thing.
