Northgate High School Stadium Lighting Project

Northgate High School Stadium Lighting Project

Mt. Diablo Unified School District is proposing numerous improvements to the football stadium. These include: stadium lighting, permanent bleachers, additional speakers and a press box. Four light poles, each containing twelve, 1500 watt halide lamps, are proposed. Preliminary plans call for the poles to be 80 ft tall and mounted on a 2 ft high concrete base. They would be made of galvanized steel and the 12 lamps made of anodized aluminum. The lamps would be equipped with glare control louvers and shields with a black finish. In addition to stadium lights, the District is also planning on replacing the existing temporary bleachers and installing permanent bleachers that will seat up to 1,500 persons. The bleachers would be located on the east and west side of the field. The "home" side bleachers, located on the east side of the field, would seat 1,000 persons and the visiting side bleachers, located on the west side, would seat 500 persons. Improvements also include upgrading the public address system by adding 2 additional speakers for a total of 4. The speakers would be located on each of the light poles to create a distributed sound system.
