Blockader barriers are supplied by the Pittsburgh-based Tamis Corporation, which has a long-standing relationship with long-time Super Bowl contractor Noel Lesley Event Services (located in Ashland, Oregon). Through its Nationwide Rental Program, Blockader compliments Lesley’s own supply of Blockader barricades for major events such as the Super Bowl. As a leading wholesaler to event contractors, Blockader maintains the inventory needed by suppliers such as Lesley in cases where the demand for crowd control barricades exceeds their on-hand supply.
Truckloads of Blockader barricades became part of the Super Bowl site mix, providing line management at entrances (where patrons entered security checkpoints), ticket windows, and escalator entrances and exits, as well as at pre-game fan events.
The successful 24-year track record of Noel Lesley Event Services (www.noellesley.com) as the supplier of event services to the Super Bowl, combined with Tamis’ ability to supply large quantities of crowd control barriers to major events, once again resulted in a pairing which provided effective crowd management at the Super Bowl.
