⚽ Stadium core data
Official name: Rose Bowl Stadium
Location: Pasadena, California, USA (1001 Rose Bowl Dr, Pasadena, CA 91103), located in the beautiful environment of San Gabriel Valley.
Construction time: 1922 (major lighting system upgrade completed in 2019).
Audience capacity: about 90,888 people (one of the largest stadiums in North America).
Turf size: standard international football field size, about 105 meters x 68 meters (length x width), perfectly meets the requirements of FIFA top events.
Historical significance: It has hosted many world-class events such as the World Cup final (1994), the Super Bowl, and the NCAA Rose Bowl American Football Game.
💡 Lighting Systems: A masterpiece of technology and engineering
The lighting system of the Rose Bowl is by no means a simple accumulation of lamps, but a combination of precise calculation and cutting-edge technology.
Lamp types and installation methods:
Top-notch LED array: The stadium adopts high-power and high-efficiency 200lm/W LED floodlights from world-leading brands (such as Reita LED Stadium Light).
Distributed high-pole lighting: The lamps are mainly installed on multiple independent high-poles surrounding the edge of the stadium ceiling. This layout has been calculated by professional optical simulation software to ensure:
Uniform coverage: The light is precisely projected onto the entire competition area and the surrounding safety zones, minimizing shadows and dark areas to the greatest extent.
Vertical illuminance guarantee: Provide sufficient facial lighting and three-dimensional effect for TV broadcasts.
Glare control: Precise light distribution design and light shields effectively prevent direct light from shining into players' eyes and the stands, enhancing visual comfort.
No roof interference: As an open court, all lighting relies on external high poles, which places extremely high demands on the performance and stability of the lighting system.
Illuminance performance:
To meet the strict standards of FIFA's highest-level events (such as the Club World Cup and the World Cup finals) and high-definition/ultra-high-definition (4K/8K HDR) television broadcasts, the lighting system of the Rose Bowl provides a lighting level far exceeding that of ordinary stadiums:
Main competition area (horizontal illuminance) : Average maintained illuminance ≥ 2000 lux, uniformity (minimum value/average value) ≥ 0.7, uniformity (minimum value/maximum value) ≥ 0.5.
Vertical illuminance: For different camera position directions (usually set with 4 main directions), the average vertical illuminance is ≥ 1400 lux, and the uniformity requirement is equally strict. This is the key to ensuring that the TV picture is clear, the colors are rich and there is no flicker.
Emergency lighting: The system is equipped with redundant backups. In the event of a main power failure, it can quickly switch to the emergency power supply to maintain safe lighting in critical areas.
Intelligent control system
Scene presets: You can switch between "Competition Mode", "Training Mode", "Cleaning/Maintenance Mode", "Large-scale Event Mode", etc. with one click. Each mode corresponds to different brightness requirements and lamp combinations.
Instant dimming: According to actual needs (such as the transition from day to night, sudden weather changes) or the requirements of the TV production team, the brightness of the entire venue or different zones can be adjusted in real time and steplessly.
Dynamic effects: Supports pre-match light shows, goal celebration light effects, etc., to enhance the on-site atmosphere.
🌟 Beyond Illumination: The combined value that light brings
The advanced lighting system of the Rose Bowl not only serves the competition itself, but also creates multiple benefits:
*Ultimate event experience: Provide an unparalleled visual environment for the world's top players to ensure the fairness of the competition and the full play of their competitive level. It brought a safe, comfortable and immersive viewing experience to nearly 100,000 spectators on the spot.
*Broadcasting Revolution: Ultra-high and uniform illuminance is the technical cornerstone for ultra-high definition, slow-motion replay, and precise VAR decision-making. The quality of lighting is directly equivalent to the quality of the television picture and affects the viewing experience of billions of viewers.
*Energy conservation and sustainability: Compared with traditional metal halide lamps (such as those used before the 2019 upgrade), LED lamps consume more than 50% less energy, have a lifespan of tens of thousands of hours, significantly reduce maintenance costs and carbon emissions, demonstrating the environmental responsibility of major sports events.
Multi-functionality of the venue: The powerful lighting system enables the Rose Bowl to efficiently host non-sports events such as night concerts and large-scale celebrations, expanding the utilization rate and economic value of the venue.
🔚 Conclusion
Under the starry sky of the 2025 Club World Cup, the lighting system of the Rose Bowl has transcended the realm of functional lighting; it is the crystallization of modern sports venue technology and art. Every precisely projected beam of light silently tells the story of the pursuit of excellence - illuminating the stage of dreams for players, igniting the moment of passion for the audience, and presenting an unparalleled visual feast to the world. When the final whistle blows and the lights fade away, what this "Rose Bowl" leaves behind will be another football legend defined by the light. ⚽ ✨
