Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, Texas, is a premier multi-purpose venue recognized for delivering a first-class experience across sports, concerts, and live entertainment. Since opening in 2019, Dickies Arena has become a standout destination for basketball, hockey, rodeo, concerts, and major special events.
The recent visit by GigaTera Lighting’s North American team offered an opportunity to see firsthand how modern venues rely on flexible technology to deliver exceptional experiences across a wide range of event types. Dickies Arena is illuminated by GigaTera’s SFP 800 and SFP RGB fixtures, integrated with movable bracket systems that allow fixtures to be re-aimed and programmed based on venue configuration. Whether hosting rodeo, basketball, graduations, or other live events, the system is designed to support fast transitions while maintaining high-quality illumination and impactful visual presentation.
Lighting that Moves with the Venue
Unlike single-purpose facilities, Dickies Arena requires lighting that can perform across many different environments. A rodeo floor, basketball court, concert stage, and commencement ceremony all have different lighting needs, sightlines, and atmosphere requirements. With adjustable fixture positioning and programmable controls, the GigaTera system enables the arena to:
- Re-aim fixtures based on floor layout and event setup
- Transition quickly between sports and entertainment modes
- Create dynamic RGB lighting effects for introductions and shows
- Maintain strong visibility for athletes, performers, and spectators
- Instantly achieve precisely-aimed lighting across multiple event types
Supporting the Modern Venue Experience
Dickies Arena stands as an example of how leading venues are embracing lighting systems that combine performance, flexibility, and entertainment value. As arenas continue to host more diverse programming, adaptable solutions like movable sports lighting systems are becoming increasingly important to operations teams and venue owners. GigaTera is proud to support facilities like Dickies Arena with lighting technology designed for modern multi-use environments.
