Saddledome lighting is a combination of metal halide and incandescent lighting, with a maximum of 2,750 lux (275 foot candles) on the event floor.
Metal Halide
The metal halide lights are controlled and focused for even lighting in five levels. There are 168, 1,000 watt Musco shutter-controlled sport lights located under the press boxes and on a catwalk grid.
Incandescent
Used for instant ‘on’ lighting. Focused for even lighting over the floor area in 4 quadrants.
Spotlights
More than 40 spotlight positions are available. The Saddledome is equipped with 6 Lycian 1293XLT 3K Xenon spotlights. Additional spotlights are available through local suppliers and can be arranged by the Saddledome.
Saddledome sound quality is excellent. Over 6,400 roof panels, coupled with the superb acoustical engineering inherent with the buildings shape, eliminate reverberation- allowing the highs and lows to clearly radiate to all areas of the event area.
The Saddledome rigging grid is capable of accommodating virtually any event set up. The grid structure will support 36,364 kilograms (60,000 pounds) applied to the centre stage- exclusive of the existing Energy Board, speakers cluster, catwalk and lighting platforms.
Additional access to the public concourse includes an outside ramp and coil-up door measuring 2.5m x 6m (8.4 ft. x 20 ft.)
