The Troup County Board of Commissioners recently announced the completion of a major lighting upgrade project at Callaway Stadium. This project involved the removal of the original lighting system and the installation of a new LED stadium and field lighting system, which will provide a brighter and more evenly distributed light on the playing surface.
Funded by SPLOST 6, this upgrade included new foundations, poles, bracket mounting arms, LED lights, light racks, and new electrical and control systems. The new LED lighting system is a significant improvement for the community as it is the first lighting upgrade since 1958.
The LED lights are brighter and more efficient than the old ones, and they have improved visibility on the field and around the stadium with only 4 poles instead of 8. Additionally, the LED lights are expected to help reduce electricity costs during events at the stadium.
One exciting feature of the new LED lights is their ability to blink and change colors, adding a new level of entertainment to the stadium. Overall, the completion of this lighting upgrade project at Callaway Stadium represents a significant improvement for the community and will enhance the experience for all who attend events at the stadium.
