A New Era for MLS,

The Perfect Light from GigaTera that Satisfied Apple TV+

This project is a premier installation case study of the complete upgrade of the existing lighting system at America First Field, the home stadium of the prestigious Major League Soccer (MLS) club Real Salt Lake, with GigaTera's state-of-the-art SUFA series LED solution in 2023.

Built upon an optimal lighting solution designed to enhance player performance, this system integrates RGBW lighting technology with reinforced entertainment capabilities. This ensures not only the perfect illuminance essential for match proceedings but also enables dramatic light shows through dynamic color control, thereby delivering entertainment value to spectators that transcends the sport itself.

This lighting replacement was a core component of the stadium's modernization project, timed to coincide with the new global broadcast partnership between the MLS and Apple TV+, aiming to provide the ultimate viewing experience for audiences worldwide. Based on its proven technology, validated in numerous global sports stadiums, GigaTera was selected as the optimal partner to perfectly meet the stringent broadcast lighting standards required by Apple TV+.

This provides the best possible competitive environment for players and the ultimate viewing experience for fans.
