4Wall energizes Detroit Lions new uniform reveal with more than 100 Chauvet fixtures

This spring, the Detroit Lions football team unveiled their new uniforms for the upcoming 2024 season. NFL regulations allow teams to change the look of their uniforms every five years. The Lions held a reveal event for the new uniforms at their Ford Field home, drawing thousands of fans. The same stage was also used for the Detroit Lions NFL Draft Party. Both events were executed with the help of 4Wall Entertainment’s Detroit crew.

Led by VP of Live Events Joe Leahy, the 4Wall team of Kareem Harris, Gary McGarity, Ross Zhang, Xavier Williamson, Jason Dunk, Robert McGoldrick, Jon Sogoian, Johnny Pike, Michael Gallacher, Brian Lavender, Tommy Minkowski, Joshua Ruhlman, and Rahul Samuel set a stylish, upbeat tone for the reveal event.

Helping them in this effort were 113 Chauvet Professional fixtures, including 14 Maverick MK3 Washes, 48 Colorado PXL Bar 16 motorized battens, 14 Color Strike M strobe-washes, 14 Strike Array 4 blinders, 20 Epix Strip IP one-meter linear units, and five Cloud 9 foggers.

Working with a 58’ x 38’ mobile stage with an 80’ T-shaped thrust and 29-30’ trim, the team created a bold setting on the field. Three large video walls ran the width of the stage, and a horizontally oriented screen ran across its top, all of which were supplied, installed, programmed, and operated by 4Wall. The video content displayed during the reveal event was shot at the 4Wall Detroit warehouse utilizing Chauvet gear.

At the start of the actual reveal, the stadium became dark, with almost all the light coming from video walls, which displayed narrated images. When the video ended, the Colorado PXL Bar 16s positioned on the runway deck bathed the arena in the Lion’s blue team color.

Next, as players entered wearing the new uniforms, the rig’s Mavericks created crossing beam patterns, while the Color Strike M units strobed accenting the fog from the Cloud 9s, and the Epix Strip fixtures on rolling truss carts served up some dynamic backlight.
