We’re all sports fans at Winstar, and we’re excited about the added benefit of watching our favorite teams play under LED lighting. When two of Major League Baseball’s amazing teams come together in Minute Maid Park, they and their fans will be in for a whole new experience. The Kansas City Royals and the Houston Astros will be among the first teams to play in this world class energy efficient atmosphere.
Consider for a moment how LED lights will benefit the Park. The specially designed optics will reduce glare. That means the trajectory of the baseball will be easier for the players to see. What’s more, the energy use in the stadium will be reduced by more than 50 percent! That’s enough savings to power 380 homes throughout Texas – every hour.
Here are some additional perks of the system highlighted by our Winstar team. In addition to energy conservation, the lighting will demand little maintenance. It will also offer exciting special effects for purposes of entertainment. According to Reid Ryan, the Astros’ president of business operations, “The new LED lighting system will help us provide a top-of-the-line experience while increasing our energy efficiency all year long. We look forward to seeing the field of Minute Maid Park under new lights in 2016.”
Our Winstar team has seen huge growth in this sector, and so we’re sure Minute Maid Park won’t be the last facility to boast LED lighting. Why don’t you attend an event at an energy-efficient stadium near you and see what you think? Enjoy the experience!
