Estadio Universitario is one of the most iconic and historic baseball stadiums in Venezuela. Located in Caracas and opened in 1952, the stadium forms part of the Central University of Venezuela campus, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, which adds architectural and cultural significance to the venue.
Construction of the stadium began in 1950, and since then it has evolved into one of the country’s most influential sports venues. Its traditional bowl design and strong baseball culture make it a central hub for professional baseball in western Caracas.
The stadium hosts home games for:
CBC (Leones del Caracas)
Tiburones de La Guaira
It is one of the few stadiums in Latin America used by two top-flight baseball teams simultaneously, which has contributed to its consistently high attendance and vibrant sports atmosphere.
CBC, also known as Leones del Caracas, is one of the most successful baseball clubs in South America:
First Venezuelan team with 20 league titles
Among the most decorated teams in the LVBP
First South American baseball club to surpass 1 million social media followers, highlighting their immense national and regional popularity
Many historic league finals and rivalry games involving Leones del Caracas were played at Estadio Universitario, making it a symbolic venue for Venezuelan baseball history.
Another cornerstone of Venezuelan baseball, the Tiburones have won multiple top-flight championships, with many of their iconic playoff runs and defining games held at this stadium.
Throughout its history, the stadium has hosted:
LVBP finals
High-profile rivalry games
National baseball celebrations
All-star level exhibitions and commemorative matches
Its central location and baseball heritage have made it one of the country’s most frequently televised sports venues.
Since its opening in 1952, Estadio Universitario has undergone several renovation phases to maintain its competitive standards:
Reinforcement of concrete stands
Modernization of player locker rooms and dugouts
Upgraded seating areas for comfort and durability
As TV broadcasting expanded in Venezuela, the stadium implemented improvements to support nighttime games and professional media coverage:
Upgraded lighting towers
Improved broadcast infrastructure
Enhanced field visibility for high-definition transmission
Frequent updates have been made to ensure excellent playing conditions:
Turf and clay infield improvements
New drainage systems
Regular restoration aligned with LVBP requirements
Today, Estadio Universitario remains:
One of the primary baseball venues in Venezuela
A historic home for two of the country’s most popular teams
A major hub for high-attendance baseball events
A cultural symbol of Caracas and Venezuelan baseball tradition
Its combination of sporting history, capacity, and continuous use makes it one of the most significant baseball stadiums in South America.

With the craze of sport games in the night, and more professional events are played at night, people desire for lighting to play at the very beginning so now people more concern about the quality of lighting, we believe that the glare produced by ordinary lamps can no longer meet the athletes’ pursuit of sensory experience. But now, thanks to developments in MECREE’s sports lighting technology, our precise control and anti-glare lighting makes it possible for sports men and women to perform at their best and enjoy the best sports experience.
There is increasing concern for the problems created by unwanted light at night,such as light pollution and light trespass, result in various types of complaints. Particularly with increasing awareness of environmental problems of all types, it is important that lighting designers recognize the need to control problems related to the general subjects of “Light Pollution” and “Light Trespass.” So we have tried every effort to develope a newest optical technology to solve the problem.
Currently common traditional stadium lights model for some international stadiums as below:
MVF406/1800W, HNF003, MVF401, MVF403, MVF024, EF-2000, YOA56305, YOAX56400, 2kW: HQI-TS 2000WDS, 2kW: HQI-TS 1000WDS, MHN-SA 2KW 400V/956, MHN-SB/HO 2KW 400V/956, LPW2000M/D, LPW1000MB/L, LPP2000MHN-SA, LPP2000MHN-SB.
There is big problem that traditional lamps can not cannot meet the needs of 4K and 8K high-definition broadcast and huge energy consumption.
With the strengthening of environmental lighting awareness and the pursuit of high-quality lighting, there is a trend to replace traditional lamps by high quality of LED Stadium Lights.
MECREE has launched the following series of LED Sport Stadium Lighting:
MECREE’s specially engineered precision lighting control is designed to meet the needs of such users. The polarized light range of 65-73° is defined as the P73-L and A65 series products, which deliver an unparalleled visual experience while offering access to thousands of IES profiles.
Our precisely engineered optics of polarized light aim light directly onto the field of play, to shine uniformly and to minimize glare. Outdoor venues benefit from spill light control, no more skyglow and no more complaints from the neighbors.
1. Such light shield is useless,just misleading customers.
2. As tested it will cause 30% reduction of light output
3. While 70% still have high overflow
4. Unbearable strong glare
5. Waste energy,outdated reflective technology
The power supply and lamp body can be mounted separately, reducing the withstand weight of the lamp pole and facilitating maintenance.
Customized crossarms are available to meet all your existing old poles without replacing the main rod, crossarms bolt directly to light pole, easy and accurate installation saves time, ensures performance, safety and reliability,also lower the budget.
In current sports lighting projects, high-altitude light calibration is recognized as a major efficiency bottleneck. The process carries high safety risks, is prone to aiming deviations, and involves cumbersome installation and removal procedures, making it difficult to achieve the required uniformity.
MECREE’s innovative laser aiming mount was designed precisely to address these issues. It revolutionizes the workflow through three key advantages:
Easy Installation: With a simple design, it allows rapid mounting and dismounting, significantly lowering the operational threshold.
Precise Aiming: Ensures accurate laser alignment, fundamentally guaranteeing uniform illumination and compliance with lighting standards.
Efficient Operation: Reduces labor and time costs by up to 80%. Calibrating 200 fixtures at height previously took 20 days; now the same workload can be completed in just 4 days.
Choosing MECREE means choosing a safer, more precise, and highly efficient sports lighting solution.
