The content not only needed to capture fans attention and immerse them in the action, but their entire production need to bring the energy and create a desirable atmosphere for their fans at each event.

LIGHT SHINES ON SACRED HEART HOCKEY ARENA (VenuesNow)
Sacred Heart University unveiled its sparkling new hockey arena in mid-January as the private school pushes its NCAA Division I programs to a higher level to compete with elite teams across the country.
Martire Family Arena, a $70 million project, was designed by JLG Architects in conjunction with SLAM Collaborative, Dimensional Innovations and Consigli Construction, the general contractor.
The arena takes up a portion of the old General Electric headquarters, which now serves as the west campus of the Fairfield, Connecticut institution. The 4,000-capacity arena sits about a half-mile from the main campus.
The venue is home to Sacred Heart’s men’s and women’s hockey teams that are part of the Atlantic Hockey Association and New England Women’s Hockey Alliance, respectively. The Pioneers’ men’s squad previously played home games at Total Mortgage Arena, a 10,000-seater in Bridgeport, Connecticut, about eight miles southeast of Fairfield. The women’s home ice was about 10 miles northeast of campus at Sports Center Connecticut in Shelton, Connecticut.
