AUBURN Ala. (WRBL) — Officials with Auburn Athletics say it partnered with Musco Entertainment to implement new and enhanced lighting and effects technology inside Jordan-Hare Stadium and Neville Arena.
According to a release sent on Aug. 22, the upgraded control system integrates a variety of new equipment into the existing Musco TLC for LED® field-of-play lighting infrastructure at both venues to enable a wide variety of custom logo projections, lasers, and other static and custom scenes, effects, and show programming.
"By uniting the unique traditions of Jordan-Hare Stadium and Neville Arena with cutting-edge technology, this partnership will create an unforgettable visual experience for fans and student-athletes alike. The introduction of these advanced lighting systems reflects Auburn's ongoing commitment to innovation," said Paris Buchanan, Senior Associate AD for Fan Experience and Creative Strategy.

Auburn Athletic officials said the upgrade was fully funded through a private gift to Tigers Unlimited from a generous donor associated with the school.
Jordan-Hare Stadium will become the first collegiate football stadium to integrate laser technology with its Musco lighting system during the gameday experience, according to Auburn Athletics.
Officials say Musco has specialized in sports lighting and technology since 1976, with innovations in glare reduction and light control being responsive to the needs of facility owners, players, fans, neighbors, and the night sky.
Auburn is set to display the new technology for Kickoff on the Plains when Auburn hosts Ball State on Saturday, Sept. 6, at 6:30 p.m. CST inside Jordan-Hare Stadium.
