Facility Notes: Parc OL Installing New Lighting System Over Offseason

Ligue 1 side Olympique Lyonnais’ home stadium, the Parc OL, is installing a new LED lighting system this offseason. The system will include 260 LED projectors and 20 spotlights that will “create light shows and enhance the experience for spectators.” Philips Lighting is heading the project which has already been installed at Juventus Stadium and the Amsterdam Arena. Philips also recently announced a partnership with Atlético Madrid to enhance the fan experience at the Metropolitano (SPORTBUZZ BUSINESS, 6/1).

A new five-a-side pitch was unveiled in Cardiff to create a "lasting legacy" after the Champions League final. Grange Gardens in Grangetown was "chosen for the pitch" by UEFA, Cardiff Council and the FA of Wales. Former Welsh footballer Ian Rush "praised the facility," saying that it "would help get more kids into football" (BBC, 6/2).
