At 15 feet (4.6 m) deep and holding close to 11 million US gallons of water, it captures 70-80% of the rainwater in the entire complex. This reclaimed water amounts to 26 million US gallons annually used to water the entirety of the greenery throughout the stadium park and its surrounding streetscapes. In addition to its use in sustainable water usage, the lake is designed to be an aesthetic addition to the American Airlines Plaza with the Lake Park Overlook viewing platform having a wide view of the stadium’s curved form. The upper and lower portions of the lake are separated by cascading waterfalls.
