Cardiff Rugby are calling on the Club’s supporters to light up the Arms Park next Saturday, via a pioneering mobile phone powered Light Show – a first in Welsh sport.
The Blue and Blacks will welcome nearest rivals, Dragons RFC on Saturday, 30th November (17.15 KO) and Cardiff supporters can get the evening underway in style by using their own mobile phones to participate in a synchronised light show and welcome the players onto the pitch ahead of Kick Off.
Presented by the Cardiff Rugby Foundation and in partnership with CUE Audio, the spectacular Light Show extravaganza will deliver a unique and unforgettable matchday experience for supporters, while shining a light on the fantastic work the Community Foundation do at our Club.
The Light Show is also a way of enhancing the match day atmosphere for Cardiff Rugby supporters at the Arms Park in a sustainable way by creating zero waste.
CUE are a US-based fan experience pioneer whose innovative technology has been used at sports fixtures across the NFL, NHL, MLB, and NCAA competitions, as well as at F1’s Las Vegas and Miami Grands Prix in 2023.
Cardiff’s own Light Show will be set to the Club’s walkout music ‘Welcome to the Jungle’ by Guns N’ Roses and powered by the mobile phones of supporters in attendance.
In order to participate, match-goers simply have to download the Stadium FX app on their mobile device before the match, and then listen out inside the stadium for an announcement that the Light Show is about to start.
The app is available for all Apple or Android users via this link.
When the time comes and the teams are ready to run out at the Arms Park, open the app and point your phone camera towards the pitch – Cardiff and Cue will take care of the rest, with the app synching mobile phone camera lights and screens to the music.
Once the Stadium FX app has been downloaded, CUE’s technology does not require cellular service, bluetooth or an internet connection to work, eliminating any potential connectivity issues on matchday.
And if supporters want to capture the moment on their mobile phones while not missing out on taking part in the Light Show, images and video can be recorded inside the Stadium FX app – simply hit the video or photo buttons at the bottom of your screen and all content will automatically be saved in your camera roll.
