McMahon Stadium is a historic outdoor sports venue located in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Opened in 1960, the stadium has long been associated with Canadian football and remains one of the most important football venues in Western Canada. With a seating capacity of approximately 35,000 spectators, McMahon Stadium continues to play a central role in Calgary’s sporting landscape.
McMahon Stadium gained international recognition when it served as one of the venues for the 1988 Olympic Winter Games, which were hosted by Calgary. During the Games, the stadium staged the opening and closing ceremonies, as well as other Olympic events, cementing its place in Canadian sporting history.
The stadium is best known as the long-time home of the Calgary Stampeders, one of the most successful teams in the Canadian Football League (CFL). The Stampeders have won the Grey Cup on multiple occasions and have built a strong fan culture at McMahon Stadium.
In addition to the Stampeders, Calgary Dinos and Calgary Colts also use the venue for Canadian football games, reinforcing its role as a hub for both professional and university-level sport.
McMahon Stadium has also hosted association football matches. In 1981, the venue was home to the Calgary Boomers, a club competing in the North American Soccer League (NASL). During that season, the Boomers attracted an average home attendance of approximately 10,000 spectators.
The Calgary Boomers were one of several Canadian teams in the NASL in 1981, alongside the Edmonton Drillers, Manic de Montréal, Toronto Blizzard, and Vancouver Whitecaps, reflecting a significant period in the development of professional football in Canada.
Over the decades, McMahon Stadium has undergone multiple upgrades and renovations to maintain modern standards while preserving its historic character. Its ability to host Canadian football, international events, and major ceremonies has made it a landmark venue in Alberta.
Today, McMahon Stadium stands as a symbol of Calgary’s sporting heritage. From hosting Olympic events to decades of Canadian football history, the stadium remains a key venue for professional, collegiate, and community sports, as well as large-scale public events.

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.
