State-Of-The-Art New System To Light Up King Power Stadium

Leicester City’s famous nights under the lights will be taken to a whole new level from the 2019/20 season, with the installation of a brand new state-of-the-art lighting system at King Power Stadium.

Published 4 mins ago

The latest in a series of upgrades to facilities on Filbert Way in recent years, the new system will put King Power Stadium’s pitch lighting on par with the world’s elite sporting venues – enhancing the matchday experience for supporters in attendance and providing brilliant broadcast quality for the Premier League’s audience of billions around the world.

Final calibration and testing of the new system will take place in the week building up to the season curtain-raiser against Wolverhampton Wanderers on Sunday 11 August. While installation of the permanent system is completed during the coming days, temporary floodlights will be in operation for Friday’s pre-season friendly against Atalanta. 

Investment in top-of-the-range pitch lighting for 2019/20 follows the installation of two giant LED screens in the King Power Stadium bowl less than a year ago, shortly after a major renovation of the Foxes Fanstore in the summer of 2018. 

As has been the case with the new screens, among the largest and most immersive in the Premier League, the new LED pitch lighting will add a new dimension to matchday entertainment, with instant illumination creating the opportunity for lighting special effects ahead of matches after dark.

Leicester City’s Premier League season opener against Wolves has now sold out, but Foxes fans can see the team’s final preparations for the campaign on Friday night, with tickets for the friendly against Atalanta at King Power Stadium still on sale.

To purchase your tickets, simply visit tickets.LCFC.com or visit the Foxes Fanstore at King Power Stadium.

Yeah, I did know that too.

Includes the entrances into the dressing rooms from both sides which is cool and all the early meet and greets.

Just said youtube as it's where it started before they did the fuller videos on the main site. 

 

P. S. You're not sad

They’re gonna have to choose a new picture pretty sharpish seeing as Slabhead’s gone:

 

 

Though from this angle it does look like someone's drawn a Hitler moustache on him already.

Even with compression, that Slab is indeed gargantuan.

I guess the stadium expansion isn't on the cards any time soon if they are still spending money on tarting it up.

New lights?? Bloody hell the old ones were bright enough. Might have to take my sunglasses to night games.

sounds like Top has been to Ikea. hope he bought some spares. as they can be a pain to find..

Regarding the lights I think it's something thsts had to be done by the majority of clubs, it's to do with new cameras being used for UHD

I like the way the video ends with Top and Vichai holding the trophy.

But they are on the ball

[Stevosevic]

You miserable git !

Anyone that has been to Hull’s KC stadium for a night game will have experienced ‘the eye of the tiger’ light show. Given how much all of us in the away end laughed at that there’s no way I can advocate something similar at the KP.
