NFL Thanksgiving Halftime Show
Texas Stadium, Irving, TX
In 2007 the Dallas Cowboys hosted the New York Jets for the annual NFL Thanksgiving day game. The crowd got to see a spectacular game with the Cowboys winning 34-3, but the fans were also entertained by the spectacular lighting effects during the halftime performance, which was enhanced by Philips intelligent LED illumination.

Texas-based Media West, Inc. -- the technical producer for the halftime event – was charged with taking the show to a new level in terms of lighting effects. “In year’s past, we mainly used conventional lighting, but this year we wanted to create a visually dramatic show that would absolutely wow the crowd and the nationwide audience watching the live broadcast,” said Media West, Inc.’s Executive Producer Lathy Williams.

Marovich to develop a lighting show that would dazzle the crowd with stunning effects, but also complement the halftime performance of Kelly Clarkson.   Learn more...
