Extra stadium info – Hampden Park
Hampden Park, located in Glasgow, is one of the most iconic football stadiums in the United Kingdom and globally renowned for its history and atmosphere. Opened in 1903, it was once the largest stadium in the world by capacity and has hosted some of the most memorable events in Scottish and European football.
Historical Tenants
Queen’s Park Football Club, the oldest football club in Scotland, used Hampden Park as their home ground between 1903 and 2021. Celtic Football Club, one of Scotland’s most prominent clubs, played various home games at the stadium in the 1990s. Celtic became the first Scottish football club to win a European championship title. Additionally, the Scottish Claymores, a former American football team, held home matches at Hampden Park.
European Championship Finals – Club Level
Hampden Park has hosted multiple finals of the European championship for football clubs. Notably, in 1960, Real Madrid defeated Eintracht Frankfurt 7-3 in front of over 100,000 spectators, securing their fifth European title. The following year, SL Benfica from Portugal became the second club to win the European championship at Hampden Park.
European Championship for National Teams
During the 2021 UEFA European Championship, Hampden Park hosted group stage matches for Croatia, Czech Republic, Scotland, Sweden, and Ukraine, as well as the round of 16 game between Sweden and Ukraine. The venue provided a vibrant setting for fans and players alike, showcasing Scotland’s continued prominence in hosting international football.
The Hampden Roar
One of Hampden Park’s defining features is the “Hampden Roar,” a legendary display of crowd noise. It was first famously noted in 1929 when Scotland, reduced to ten men due to injury, scored a last-minute equalizer against England. The roar was so intense that player Alexander Skinner Jackson, hospitalized at Glasgow Victoria Infirmary, could hear it and know the goal had been scored. The record attendance of 149,000 was set in 1937 during a Scotland vs. England match.

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.
