Abstract
- Jack Kent Cooke Stadium has been included in the National Football League's greatest records as the fastest-built, modern-day sports facility. The $175 mil project has seven levels, six of which are for seating accommodations, two levels of suites and a 30-foot basement. Clark Construction Group, the stadium's contractor, employed the use of cast-in-place frames and concretes in order to save time. The company also supported the stadium's corners by conventional formworks. Some of the difficulties encountered during the construction were the increase of groundwater levels, removal of asphalt rubble and filling a ravine with concrete.
