  • LEGION FIELD CASE STUDY: Recreation
    LEGION FIELD CASE STUDY: recreation THE GOLDILOCKS ZONE: ALABAMA’S LEGION FIELD GETS A NEW SOUND SYSTEM THAT MAKES ITS AUDIO JUST RIGHT “Centralized control makes the whole system so much easier to manage and troubleshoot should any problems arise. It’s now just a very powerful and very streamlined system.” —BRENT ADAMS, SYSTEMS SPECIALIST, SOUND ADVICE INTEGRATOR CHALLENGE LEGION FIELD, BIRMINGHAM, ALABAMA FIELD, LEGION Birmingham, Alabama’s legendary Legion Field is a massive stadium that seats more than 70,000 fans and hosts numerous sporting events. As the home field of the UAB Blazers football team and a host during the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, the stadium’s legacy was growing—while its audio system remained stuck in the past. Stadium management and city officials knew fans were oftentimes straining to hear announcements or completely drowned in uneven sound. SOLUTION Working with the stadium’s existing system, the team at Professional Sound Advice integrated a digital, networked solution that transports signals around the stadium. The streamlined and economical solution eliminated even the stadium’s worst problem areas—while saving the city of Birmingham money. CONCLUSIONS Legion Field in Birmingham, Alabama, is nicknamed “the football capital of the south” for a reason. Constructed in 1926, this massive stadium seats more than 70,000 fans, is currently home field for the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) Blazers football team, and hosts the Magic City Classic, the BBVA Compass Bowl, and many other events. In the wake of the destruction brought on by the tornadoes of April 2011, the stadium was the primary staging site for the Alabama National Guard relief efforts.
