Mexico - The newly inaugurated Potosí Arena stands as a symbol of innovation in support of culture. With a capacity of over 20,000 people, this venue is set to host concerts by national and international artists and various sports and cultural events. The governor of San Luis Potosí, Ricardo Gallardo, officiated the opening of this new space, which is expected to boost the city's tourism and economic appeal after 23 years without a venue of this scale.
The construction of the Potosí Arena took approximately 22 months and involved more than 4,000 tons of steel. This arena was designed and built entirely by engineers and architects from the University of San Luis Potosí, making it a testament to the ingenuity and capability of its local talent.
The lighting system installation played a key role in the arena's opening, combining advanced technology with local expertise. The front of the arena is dressed with vibrant colours thanks to the Outshine Q500, an outdoor luminaire with 48 LEDs and 16-bit dimming that offers a wide range of colours. This allows the arena's exterior to create stunning visuals for any event. The powerful and flexible system ensures the Potosí Arena will be an impressive venue for concerts, sports, or cultural events.
For the stage inside the venue, 36 MW1, 18 Tilt Bot, and 18 Pan T Bot were placed to light the performers, creating a dynamic and vibrant atmosphere. This arrangement of lights makes the venue shine inside and out, elevating the experience for both performers and audiences.
To manage this impressive array of lighting, the Memo Core Control (MCC1) system has been integrated into the installation.
The authorised distributor of Mega-Lite in Mexico, Audio Acústica, developed the concept for bringing this remarkable installation to life. Their expertise and commitment to excellence played a key role in transforming the vision for the Potosí Arena into a reality.
