Dodd Technologies Deploys Ayrton Lighting, grandMA3 Consoles And MDG Hazers

Dodd Technologies used an array of Ayrton lighting fixtures, MA Lighting grandMA3 consoles and MDG hazers for the 2025 AT&T WNBA All-Star Game.

ACT Entertainment is the exclusive distributor of the Ayrton, MA Lighting and MDG brands in North America.

Dodd Technologies acted as the production partner with Pacer Sports & Entertainment for the All-Star Weekend events at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. Friday, July 18 featured the WNBA Skills Challenge, which was broadcast on ESPN. The game was played on Saturday and aired live on ABC, Disney+ and ESPN+. Dodd Technologies was not only responsible for the game’s halftime show, headlined by GloRilla, but also for the musical team introductions and other performances that added entertainment value to the weekend telecasts. The company had previously worked on the 2024 NBA All-Star Game and has several major sports credits.

Dodd Technologies designed the halftime stage to be an organic part of the court. "We wanted to make sure that what we built looked like part of the existing architecture of the space," said Vice President Andy Meggenhofen, who acted as the event's Lighting Designer. "The all-LED stage had an upstage wall, side walls that staggered down to follow the seating lines and a large LED floor. It was a very dynamic stage with a lot of depth and 3D effects while keeping the sight lines to all the seats. It provided great backgrounds for camera and great visuals for the live, sold-out audience."
