The construction of the SeatGeek Stadium, which opened as the Toyota Park, started in 2004. The construction costs of the stadium were $98 million and it is known as a venue for several events, like concerts, field lacrosse, football and rugby union. Several world famous football clubs played at the SeatGeek Stadium. The venue hosted its first-ever FIFA World Cup qualifier in 2008, when the national football team of the United States defeated Trinidad and Tobago 3-0. The national rugby union team of the United States played various matches at the SeatGeek Stadium. The venue opened as the home of football club Chicago Fire.
The Chicago House, the Chicago Red Stars and the Chicago State Cougars use the SeatGeek Stadium for football matches. The Chicago House lost their first-ever league match in 2021. Detroit City FC won the third-tier game against football club Chicago House AC 3-2. The match took place in Michigan. The Chicago Red Stars became one of the first women’s football clubs with home attendances above 10,000. The club was founded in 2006.
The Chicago Fire played numerous home games at the SeatGeek Stadium. They are Major League Soccer members. Major League Soccer became one of the first sports competitions with 1 million followers on its main social media page. In 1998, 36,000 people attended the first-ever Major League Soccer home game of the Chicago Fire. That year, they gathered 56 points in 32 MLS matches. They won 20 league games. Two league games ended in a draw and two league games ended in a loss. The Fire won their first-ever MLS Cup in their inaugural league season in 1998. The Chicago Fire won the title after beating DC United 2-0 in Pasadena in front of a crowd of 51,000. They reached the final after defeating the LA Galaxy from California at the Soldier Field. 32,000 fans attended the game.
In 2017, the Chicago Fire signed the world famous football player Bastian Schweinsteiger, who played in the 2014 FIFA World Cup final. He won the match with the national football team of Germany after defeating the Argentine Republic 1-0 in front of 74,000 spectators. Bastian Schweinsteiger also played for FC Bayern München and Manchester United FC, two of the first clubs with a FIFA Club World Cup title, before he moved to the Chicago Fire. Schweinsteiger became one of the first football players with 1 million followers on his main social media page.

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.
