Celebrating the 100th Anniversary of Darrell K Royal–Texas Memorial Stadium at the University of Texas

LIGHT UP THE FIELD: BURNT ORANGE EDITION

New LED light fixtures—256 in total—made their debut in a game against Wyoming. The new fixtures allow for different colors of light for an array of different effects. In the stretch between the end of the third quarter and start of the fourth quarter, fans are treated to a light show that floods the entire stadium in Texas’ signature burnt orange. For this first presentation of the new lights, Texas Athletics incorporated orange smoke—inspired by the local Major League Soccer team Austin FC—and even an orange and white drone show featuring Texas-themed icons and imagery for a storytelling effect. The lights are programmed to shine red, white, and blue during the singing of the national anthem and “Deep in the Heart of Texas.”
