Stade Saputo is a modern football stadium located in eastern Montreal, Canada. Construction of the venue began in 2007, and the stadium officially opened on 18 May 2008. It is named after the Saputo family, owners of Saputo Inc., one of Canada’s largest dairy companies.
The stadium serves as the home ground of CF Montréal, one of Canada’s Major League Soccer (MLS) clubs. CF Montréal is the third Canadian team to compete in MLS and was originally founded under a different name before adopting its current identity.
CF Montréal has played its home matches at Stade Saputo since joining Major League Soccer. During the club’s inaugural MLS season in 2012, CF Montréal attracted significant interest, recording an average home attendance of around 22,000 spectators, exceeding the stadium’s original capacity and highlighting the strong football culture in the city.
In 2015, CF Montréal made history by becoming the first Canadian club to reach the CONCACAF Champions League final, the premier club competition in North and Central America and the Caribbean.
The final was played over two legs against Mexican giants Club América.
First leg: Mexico City, attended by approximately 56,000 spectators, ended in a 1–1 draw.
Second leg: Montreal, in front of a crowd of 61,000, saw CF Montréal score twice, while Club América netted four goals to secure the championship.
Despite the loss, the achievement marked a milestone for Canadian club football on the international stage.
Later in 2015, CF Montréal signed world-renowned Ivorian striker Didier Drogba, one of the most celebrated footballers of his generation. Prior to his move to Canada, Drogba played for clubs including Le Mans FC, EA Guingamp, Olympique de Marseille, Chelsea, Shanghai Shenhua, and Galatasaray.
Drogba achieved legendary status during his career, becoming the first African player to score 100 goals in the English Premier League and winning the UEFA Champions League with Chelsea. He also became the all-time top scorer for the Côte d’Ivoire national team. In 2006, Drogba scored in Côte d’Ivoire’s first-ever FIFA World Cup match, a 2–1 defeat against Argentina.

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.
