CFG Bank Arena

CFG Bank Arena, a premier destination for major concerts, sporting events, and performances in Baltimore, wanted to set a new standard for immersive live entertainment. As a venue known for hosting world-class acts and events, CFG Bank Arena sought to create an experience that would captivate audiences from the moment they entered the building and keep them engaged throughout every performance.

Despite its reputation as a top entertainment venue, CFG Bank Arena faced challenges in delivering a fully immersive fan experience. Outdated audiovisual systems hindered the ability to provide dynamic visuals, clear sound, and engaging content. They needed a complete transformation that not only enhanced audience engagement but also served practical functions such as digital signage for concessions and live event feeds.

Recognizing the Arena’s ambitious vision, Bluewater stepped in as the trusted AV integration partner. With extensive experience in large-scale venue transformations, Bluewater’s team understood the need for a solution that combined superior audio, captivating visuals, and seamless operational control to create a state-of-the-art entertainment environment.

Bluewater’s strategy was comprehensive, involving a multi-faceted approach to audio, visual, and lighting integration:

Superior Audio

To deliver crystal-clear sound throughout the arena, Bluewater installed a Fulcrum line array speaker system, complete with stage input racks and high-quality microphones. This ensured that every note, word, and sound was delivered with pristine clarity, creating an unparalleled auditory experience.

Visual Excellence

Over 150 strategically placed displays were installed throughout the arena. These displays served multiple functions, including digital menu boards for concessions, dynamic event-specific messaging, and in-house feeds for live performances. The visual transformation captivated attendees and created a flexible platform for future events.

Dynamic Lighting Experience

The immersive experience began even before fans entered the arena. Bluewater implemented a content-driven lighting system on the building’s exterior using Color Kinetic lights. This innovative system harmonized seamlessly with outdoor LED displays, creating a mesmerizing visual spectacle that dynamically responded to event content.

Central Control

To streamline operations and provide complete control over the AV system, Bluewater installed head-end equipment in the Front of House space. This allowed venue operators to manage volume, source selection, and content changes effortlessly, ensuring a tailored experience for every event.

The result was a groundbreaking transformation that exceeded expectations. CFG Bank Arena became a cutting-edge entertainment destination, offering fans an immersive atmosphere where every sight, sound, and experience was carefully curated. The vibrant lighting displays, superior audio quality, and captivating visuals elevated the fan experience and made each event memorable. 

Bluewater’s partnership with CFG Bank Arena exemplifies the company’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of AV technology and delivering innovative solutions that enhance experiences, captivate audiences, and leave a lasting impression. This project stands as a testament to the power of thoughtful design, technological innovation, and a commitment to excellence.
