The "Biggest Can of Beer at the Meadowlands". These shelters were designed to encourage football fans to come to the ballpark early and avoid traffic. ESPN, Budweiser, and the Jets Alumni sponsored the structures for the 2002 season. One structure held the ESPN pre-game show complete with a touchdown pass from Terry Bradshaw… Each year the structures will be relocated to new areas of the parking lot depending on the sponsors. Owning a Big Top Shelter may have helped the Jets make the playoffs, you never know…

The Kapoor Structure at Millennium Park in Chicago was protected during its construction by a Big Top Shelter. Big Top worked with Chicago and US Equities engineers to meet stringent code requirements. In a custom design job, the Big Top crew installed (in 14 days) a shelter especially designed to fit around a gating crane and the already-begun construction project.
