Globe Life Park in Arlington, MLB Stadium
Home of the Texas Rangers, Globe Life Park sees a lot of action. For years, the field was plagued by varying light levels, and operators wanted the ability to create dynamic scenes and effects. We eliminated hundreds of fixtures while increasing illumination and uniformity.
Nyseg Stadium, Milb Stadium
