Advances in the construction are also making it possible to present spectacular designs and superlative graphics. The past years have seen quite a large number of stadiums and indoor arenas being built around the world that are shining examples of outstanding architecture. Nowadays, however, the technical equipment also provides several features in special venues which also enthral spectators, and remain alive in everyone’s memory. For instance, the video displays in stadiums are continuing to get bigger and better. Because LED modules have become slimmer, more flexible, more economical and brighter, their design can have a decisive effect on the visual impact of the stadium – from the facade to the interior – and sometimes also blend into the building itself. In the USA, the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta was a groundbreaking project, with 16 LED displays covering a total area of 7,757m², including the innovative halo display on the roof construction. But there was also the U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, and multi-function arenas such as Little Caesars Arena (Detroit) and the Golden 1Center (Sacramento) – to name but a few.
