The MCG Smart Stadium project commenced at the beginning of 2013 as a major investment rollout for the club. The lighting design was a small by highly visual part of the overall project which included WIFI, new score boards, LED screens and a new building network amongst other upgrades.

The final outcome from an operational point of view is a system that allows the operator to manage the depicted ‘shows’ and tailor them to an event of team. All current AFL teams and resident Cricket teams are pre-programmed as well as customisable scenes developed to suit sponsors or specific events.

The culmination of the project was its activation for the ICC Cricket World Cup final in March 2015.
