The Arc Light Arena is a massive stadium constructed to host a multitude of events, from sports matches to musical concerts. But its primary purpose was to host the Various Hunter Tournaments that occur seasonally both National and International.
Architecture
It is a technological wonder. Standing at over 300 feet tall, this nearly 2,000 feet diameter, ringed dome is designed to hold an internal capacity of 500,000, while accommodating more than 2,000,000 more just outside its walls through projection monitors. The inside field is 600 ft in Diameter and is able to be customized for the occasion. Underneath the field is a sophisticated system of mobile platforms, and lifts that can be repositioned and rearranged in any orientation throughout the arena. They are used to alter the arena for a variety of needs such as terrain transformation during the Hunter Tournaments, or track alterations during the Volt Races.
Floating above the field is a large LightStream Projection display that displays the highlights and current events going on below. Using a system of cameras that navigate and float over the field, the display is able to generate large close up images of the combatants, or even keep up with racing units during matches. The LightStream Projection Display creates a series of Ring bands that rotate slowly around it. Each band shows its own highlight, commentary, or statistic about the current events, while a main band shows the live events. The projections are able to unite to one display or divide to show relevant or different information. This LightStream Projection display also manages the light and audio throughout the entire Arena able to cast spotlights, change ambient lighting, or create interactive, 4D holographic displays across the entire arena.
Surrounding the field are hundreds of thousands of seats arranged in rings and tiers all around the Arena. They seats span a the majority of the, only broken up by the stairways leading to and from the entrances, and a dozen or so VIP Booths. The first three lower rings can also be rearranged, or removed entirely to expand the field another 150 ft in radius.
All floors of the arena have fully serviced lobbies that ring the entire parameter. These lobbies contain accommodations such as, food and refreshment stalls, restrooms, and the like. And hundreds of monitors fill the main lobbies in order to broadcast the event to anyone grabbing refreshments.
Lastly at the main entrance is a large hall where visitors can find a wide variety of memorabilia and attire to suite the event.
