As one of the largest NFL venues, AT&T Stadium opened in 2009 as the new home of the Dallas Cowboys. Featuring the world’s largest center hung video board, the 80,000 seat stadium has been on the forefront of innovation.
“We are thrilled to partner with the Dallas Cowboys to deliver a solution for the lighting needs of such a prestigious venue,” said Jeff Rogers, Vice President, Musco Lighting. “Our system maximizes energy efficiency, provides ideal lighting for HD television broadcasts, and includes special effects capabilities that will provide an unmatched entertainment experience.”
Musco’s SportsCluster Green™ system with an LED light source will provide several benefits for athletes, fans, and HD broadcasts:
- Custom optics direct light onto the field and not into the players or spectators’ eyes
- Reduces energy consumption by 76 percent compared to the prior lights
- Increases light levels by 42 percent
- Includes structural, electrical, and lighting components designed as a system for reliable, long-term performance
- Eliminates maintenance with Musco’s parts and labor warranty backed by a team of technicians
Additionally, the characteristics of the LED light source eliminates the “flicker” effect for excellent slow motion replay and provides instant on/off/dimming capabilities.
“As we look for ways to keep AT&T Stadium at the forefront of cutting-edge technology, Musco provided the solution for our stadium lighting needs,” said Scott Woodrow, Director of Building Engineering, AT&T Stadium. “Quality and technical expertise were key in making this decision and Musco delivered on both fronts.”
