As an integral part of the Harrison, NJ-stadium's modern design, Birdair, Inc. is serving as Red Bull Arena's specialty roofing contractor–engineering, fabricating and installing the tensioned membrane roof and facade cladding systems for the world-class athletic facility.

The roof and facade will incorporate three different types of tensile architectural membrane. These include FEP-coated PTFE mesh on the stadium roof's leading edge, silver metallic colored PTFE glass on the roof and upper facade and silver metallic-colored PTFE glass mesh on the lower facade. In total, approximately 322,276 square feet of fabric will form the tensioned membrane roof and facade systems.

Construction on Red Bull Arena began in January 2008, with full project completion slated for 2010. Birdair crews will begin work on the roof and facade portions in April 2009. Completion of these sections is slated for September 2009.
