4Wall Entertainment, a national provider of entertainment equipment rentals, sales, and services designed and executed the team & player intros and the in-game lighting for the Detroit Lions 2022-2023 NFL season.
In 4Wall Detroit’s first full season with the Lions, the team upgraded their current production from small CO2 Jets (15’-20’ Plumes) to the new Club Cannon Quad CO2 jets that have plumes up to 70’. “Every game, we drop over 2,000 lbs. of liquid CO2 in under 60 seconds from roll-on-field truss carts that 4Wall designed and fabricated,” said 4Wall Detroit VP of Live Events Joe Leahy. “These carts carry 48 CHAUVET Color STRIKE M’s and 8 CO2 Jets, wrapped in custom graphics and provide a huge impact for both the players and over 65,000 fans per week.”
The field entrance tunnel is up-lit with 108’ of Chroma-Q Color Force II LED battens and the players are backlit with two Robe BMFL Blades before running through two additional CO2 Quad jets and out onto the field. The flown lighting rig consists of 36 Robe BMFL WashBeams on JTE Galaxy Pre-Rig Truss which make a huge impact on pre, post, and in-game lighting FX.
“We also took control of multiple lighting fixtures and elements throughout the stadium that are integrated into promotional looks and experiences for sponsors of the Detroit Lions,” explained Leahy. “It was a pleasure working with an amazing crew and I can’t thank them enough for their hard work before, during, and after the season.”
