Expo ’70 Commemorative Stadium is a historic football venue located in Suita City, Osaka Prefecture, within the grounds of the former Expo ’70 site, which hosted the 1970 World Exposition in Osaka. Opened in 1972, the stadium was developed as part of the long-term legacy infrastructure of Expo ’70, transforming the exhibition area into a major public sports and recreation zone.
The stadium has played a significant role in the development of professional football in the Kansai region.
For many years, Gamba Osaka, one of Japan’s most prominent professional football clubs, used Expo ’70 Commemorative Stadium as their home venue. During this period, the stadium hosted:
J.League top-flight matches
Domestic cup competitions
High-profile regional derbies and league fixtures
The venue witnessed the formative years and competitive growth of Gamba Osaka before the club moved to a newer football-specific stadium.
Originally designed as a multi-purpose sports venue, Expo ’70 Commemorative Stadium features:
A regulation football pitch
Spectator seating for approximately 21,000
Open-bowl stadium architecture typical of the early 1970s
Supporting facilities for players, officials, and match operations
Over the decades, the stadium has undergone periodic maintenance and functional upgrades to ensure safety and continued usability, rather than full-scale reconstruction.
Beyond football, the stadium carries strong cultural value as part of the Expo ’70 legacy, one of the most important international events in Japan’s post-war history. The venue represents:
The long-term reuse of world exposition infrastructure
The integration of sports, public space, and cultural heritage
A key chapter in Osaka’s urban and sporting development
Expo ’70 Commemorative Stadium remains an important public sports facility in Suita and the wider Osaka area, supporting:
Football matches and training activities
Local and regional sporting events
Community and recreational sports programs

With the growing popularity of nighttime sports events, professional competitions demand higher lighting quality. The glare from traditional fixtures can no longer meet athletes’ expectations for sensory experience. Leveraging breakthroughs in MECREE’s sports lighting technology, our precise light control and anti-glare designs enable athletes to perform at their peak and enjoy an exceptional sports experience.
Issues caused by unnecessary nighttime lighting, such as light pollution and light trespass, are increasingly concerning and have led to rising public complaints. Amid growing environmental awareness, lighting designers must prioritize controlling “Light Pollution” and “Light Trespass.” We are committed to addressing this challenge through innovative optical technologies.
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.
Through lighting simulation calculations and programming of light show designs, solutions oriented towards either visual effects or cost-effectiveness are provided. Design of Lighthouse, parameters required for building foundation, (axial force, shear force, bending force). High power generator set supporting,circuit design service,cable supply.
