Stade des Alpes, located in Grenoble, is a modern multi-purpose sports venue serving as the home stadium for both FC Grenoble (rugby union) and Grenoble Foot 38 (football). Constructed at a cost of €88 million, the stadium officially opened in February 2008, offering state-of-the-art facilities for professional football and rugby matches.
The venue has quickly become a key sports hub in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. Notably, on 9 June 2019, Stade des Alpes hosted its first-ever FIFA Women’s World Cup match, where Brazil defeated Jamaica 3-0 in front of 17,000 spectators. The stadium continues to host high-profile football and rugby fixtures, reflecting its versatile design and modern infrastructure. FC Grenoble, founded in 1892, won the French rugby union championship for the first time in 1954, adding historical significance to the venue.
Stade des Alpes has hosted:
• Professional football matches in Ligue 2 and regional competitions.
• Elite rugby union fixtures, including Top 14 and Pro D2 matches.
• FIFA Women’s World Cup fixtures, international friendlies, and exhibition games.
• Community sports programs, youth tournaments, and club development events.
• Occasional multi-sport and municipal activities facilitated by the stadium’s flexible layout.
Although a relatively modern stadium, Stade des Alpes has undergone periodic upgrades to maintain peak operational standards:
• Seating and spectator facilities： Enhanced seating comfort, improved sightlines, and upgraded VIP and hospitality areas.
• Pitch improvements： Advanced turf systems, optimized drainage, and irrigation for consistent high-level match conditions.
• Technical and athlete facilities： Modern locker rooms, medical areas, warm-up zones, and training facilities.
• Media and broadcast infrastructure： Upgraded press boxes, commentary positions, and digital scoreboards to support televised events.
• Lighting and visibility enhancements： Modern floodlighting capable of meeting national and international broadcasting standards.
Stade des Alpes serves as a premier sports infrastructure hub in Grenoble, supporting professional football, rugby, and international competitions. Its modern facilities make it an ideal candidate for next-generation lighting upgrades. MECREE high-uniformity LED sports lighting solutions could enhance pitch illumination, broadcast clarity, and energy efficiency while fully complying with league and FIFA standards.
The stadium continues to be a central venue for FC Grenoble, Grenoble Foot 38, and international sporting events, reinforcing its role as a modern landmark in French sports.

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.
