The approved design consisted of LED neon flex strip lights that infilled laser cut metal letters of the Lucas Oil Stadium logo.  Image Engineering chose this product due to it’s highly flexible nature to make the sharp turns of the logo font, as well as it’s capability to individually control each pixel, making the sign completely programmable. Additionally, by infilling the sign with the LED neon flex strips, we were able to accomplish a faux neon look without the high-power requirements and fragile nature of true neon, as well as achieve high brightness to combat the surrounding light emitted through the windows of the stadium.  The specific product chosen is also certified for outdoor use which compliments the roof opening feature of the stadium.

Prior even to fabrication, a complete engineering and construction package including the material types, construction method, dimensions, fastener types, and weight of all material was sent out for PE peer review and Indiana stamp. Once onsite, Image worked closely with riggers and local labor to rebuild both signs and hoist them into position.

The Indianapolis Colts at Lucas Oil stadium now have two beautiful faux neon LED signs that match those outside the stadium, and are completely programmable.  Image preprogrammed custom looks such as Colts color looks, a waiving American flag for anthems, and a variety of others for select holidays.  We continue to support the Colts in the programming and maintenance of the Lucas Oil Stadium sign and love seeing it featured during each Colts  home game. The client is thrilled that they now have a pixel mapped sign that shines bright on broadcast.
