To celebrate the legacy of the Raiders, we helped them create a massive sculpture that blends the boundaries between the world of art, digital, and architecture.

Through close collaboration with the client, ASTOUND developed an eye-catching design for the massive torch flame featured in the main mezzanine of the Las Vegas Raiders Allegiant Stadium. Throughout the ideation and creative process, the concepts and curves of the flame were constantly reviewed by our in-house project designers and engineers to ensure the structural integrity and feasibility of the complex compound curve forms.

Several scale models were created to communicate a few different details and options for features like the material finishes, exterior faceting, and LED integration. The three separate flame pieces are all constructed with a structural steel sub-frame with integrated supports for the LED carriers and exterior panels. Once completed, the LED bars integrated throughout the sculpture will be mappable to run lighting programming and custom digital content.
