Spanish LaLiga club Atlético de Madrid has agreed a wide-ranging deal with LG Electronics.
As part of the deal, LG will develop and install new LED technology for the Cívitas Metropolitano. Atlético said the project is the “most ambitious” developed by LG to date and will see the Metropolitano become “one of the most cutting-edge” sports venues.
LG will install a new ellipse-shaped LED support that will crown the roof of the stadium. The design will be integrated into the oval and trapezoidal structure of the roof, providing a new digital skin and creating a 360-degree visual effect.
The deal also includes the provision of new audiovisual supports inside and outside the stadium with high-performance, customised and made-to-measure screens, which will double the current LED surface area of the stadium.
