Michigan State University – Spartan Stadium

Michigan State needed a new lighting system at Spartan Stadium, home to the University’s football team and site of many memorable games over the years. With additional TV requirements, and concerns about how a new system would affect the aesthetics of the centrally located stadium, Michigan State officials were looking for a lighting solution that would address those concerns and provide the latest in lighting technology, while still being energy-efficient. The university, once again, turned to Musco.

Having already installed LED lighting systems at Breslin Center and Munn Ice Arena, Musco’s team of engineers designed a solution to maintain the aesthetics on campus, minimize glare, and provide superior on-field lighting.

With the installation of Musco’s Total Light Control —TLC for LED™ technology, Michigan State will benefit from several key features:

• Enhanced Visibility – the system virtually eliminates glare from impacting players and spectators, while enhancing the quality of light on the field as well as for television broadcasts.
• Energy Efficiency – CO2 emissions will be reduced by more than 430 metric tons over the next decade compared to typical metal halide equipment.
• Total Light Control – customized optics result in pinpoint precision, eliminating spill from affecting nearby campus buildings.
• Cost Effective – between energy efficiency and eliminated maintenance, Michigan State will realize a savings of more than $110,000 over the next decade.

Additionally, the new LED system is backed by our comprehensive long-term parts and labor warranty that will eliminate maintenance costs.
