Cutting edge lighting project from Interact Sports kicks off at Red Bull Arena, the home of RB Leipzig
It’s been some months since the majority of football fans have been able to experience the true joy and excitement of the stadium atmosphere.
But while most of us have had to settle for watching from the couch, the Red Bull Arena in Leipzig, Germany, home to RB Leipzig, has partnered with Signify to take their live stadium experience to the next level, and take care of players, employees, and fans’ safety, too.
It’s not just the stadium, either. The home of eSports team RBLZ Gaming has also had a special upgrade. The team will enjoy the latest generation of the Philips Hue entertainment lighting system, creating a truly immersive lighting experience that eSports fans can enjoy at home, too.
"With the new connected lighting system from Signify, we’re offering our visitors and television viewers the full emotion and dynamics of the game and a great football experience," said Matthias Reichwald, Chief Commercial Officer of RB Leipzig. "Thanks to the longevity of LEDs and the reliability of the systems, we can, on the one hand, save energy consumption and costs and, on the other hand, reduce maintenance costs during operation."
