Overview

More than 15 unique areas within the experience highlight different aspects of the game of basketball, from the rich history in "Champions" to the performance metrics of "Combine." The sports experience celebrates and engages players of all ages in a rich entertainment experience. On the outside of the facility, large perforated stainless steel panels decorated with images of players bring the building to life.

Lighting solutions for the venue varied as much as the experiences themselves. Automated lighting fixtures enhance the energy in the main entry scene and architectural lighting solutions were employed in "Replay," an area similar to sports broadcasting replay centers. Games such as "Shoot" used theatrical fixtures to provide necessary illumination without interfering with projected media. Successful media integration was an essential part of executing this project well. The team used multiple control solutions depending on the scene's needs, from DMX to physical media.
