Stadio comunale Ennio Tardini—commonly known as Tardini—is one of the oldest and most iconic football stadiums in Italy. Located in the historic city of Parma, it opened in 1923 and has served as the home ground of Parma Calcio, a club known for its passionate supporters and prominent role in both Italian and international football.
The stadium is named after Ennio Tardini, a distinguished Italian lawyer and former president of the club, who initiated the project to build a modern sporting venue for Parma. With a capacity of 27,000, Tardini continues to host major professional football events while maintaining its historic architectural identity.
Parma Calcio, founded in 1913, is one of the first Italian sports clubs to reach over 100,000 followers on its main social media page, reflecting its global fanbase. Over the years, several world-famous football stars have worn the Parma shirt, making the Tardini a landmark in Italian football culture.
Stadio Ennio Tardini has been the stage for many memorable football moments across nearly a century:
Golden Era of the 1990s–2000s:
Parma’s rise brought international attention to the stadium. It hosted matches featuring world-class players such as Gianluigi Buffon, Fabio Cannavaro, Lilian Thuram, Hernán Crespo, Juan Sebastián Verón, Hristo Stoichkov, and many others.
UEFA Competitions:
Parma played numerous UEFA Cup, Cup Winners’ Cup, and Champions League fixtures at the Tardini, securing victories that contributed to the club’s standing as one of Europe’s most competitive teams during that era.
Serie A Classics:
The stadium regularly welcomed Italy’s top clubs—Juventus, Inter Milan, AC Milan, Roma, and Lazio—resulting in high-profile matches and significant television audiences.
Promotion Celebrations:
The Tardini has been central in celebrating Parma’s dramatic return to Serie A after back-to-back promotions from Serie D to Serie A between 2015 and 2018.
These events have cemented the Tardini’s status as a historic venue tied deeply to Italian football heritage.
Given its age and historical relevance, Stadio Ennio Tardini has undergone several renovation phases:
Early Structural Improvements (1923–1960s):
Initial upgrades included reinforced spectator stands, expanded terraces, and improved public access routes.
1990s Modernization for European Competitions:
As Parma rose to international prominence, the stadium received major updates to comply with UEFA standards:
New seating sectors
Enhanced dressing rooms
Improved media and broadcast facilities
Upgraded player tunnels and security systems
2000s and 2010s Enhancements:
Further developments focused on fan comfort, accessibility, and stadium safety. Seating modernization, improved sanitary facilities, and hospitality zones were progressively introduced.
Ongoing Redevelopment Plans:
Parma Calcio has expressed interest in a more extensive modernization project that may include:
New or redesigned stands
Upgraded VIP and corporate areas
Improved commercial spaces
Enhanced lighting infrastructure
Sustainability-focused structural improvements
The goal is to keep the Tardini competitive with modern European stadiums while preserving its historic charm.
As global football infrastructure increasingly moves toward efficient and high-performance LED technology, Stadio Ennio Tardini is an ideal candidate for a full lighting upgrade.
Modern LED stadium lighting offers substantial advantages:
Powerful and uniform illumination across the pitch
Compliance with Serie A and UEFA broadcast requirements
Sharper visual clarity for players, officials, and spectators
Significantly lower energy consumption
Reduced maintenance costs
Ability to support HD, 4K, and advanced live-broadcast standards
Enhanced atmosphere for night matches and 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.
