This chapter we will have a look at how can we light the American football stadium.
Basic information and lighting in U.S. Bank Stadium
U.S. Bank Stadium is a relatively new sports arena opening in 2016. It accommodates 66,600+ audiences at once and has become main stadium of Super Bowl. According the NFL football stadium lighting requirement, the horizontal illumination should have 2,500 lux, which is an extraordinary value as the training or recreational football field requires 300 to 400 lux. Since the size of a standard American football field is about 110 * 49 = 5,390 meter square, the lumen required is 5390 * 2500 = 13,475,000 lumens; and thus we need 96,000 watt LED lights! If you use metal halide lamps, the power requirement is 190,000 watt, and 672,000 watt for halogen lamps.
The professional football stadium, such as U.S. Bank stadium for the Super Bowl, requires such the large power. Selection LED lights can save up to 85% energy, and the reduce the electricity cost.
Flickering is another concern. The stadium lamps having poor quality will flicker under high speed cameras. The audience will discover there are strobes on screen when they are looking at the replay. It dramatically lowers user experience. To solve it, we developed the anti-glare and flicker-free LED chips especially for super bowl and other professional tournaments. The light will not produce flicker for 5000 Hz photography.
