While the athletic programs at Mount Mercy University have a well-earned legacy of success, several of the school’s outdoor sports teams lacked a home field of their own. When the University gained approval to build a new sports complex, school leaders wanted a premier venue that would offer a true “home field advantage” to student-athletes and at the same time draw regional and national tournaments. The multi-field complex needed state-of-the-art lighting that would meet the needs of six different sports, achieve light levels necessary for major tournaments and events, and avoid creating glare and spill light that would affect the surrounding residential neighborhood.
