Cage, seating, screens and lighting for an indoor fight night — an empty hall turned into an arena and back again.
What the job involved, and what it had to work around.
The project
Combat sport is staged in the round, which changes everything. There is no back of house behind the action, no single good sightline to design for, and the lighting has to hit a canvas from above without blinding the corners.
DSD built the arena: the cage and its surround, the seating bowl, the screens carrying fighter graphics and replays, and a lighting rig aimed at the centre rather than at a stage.
The screens matter more here than at most events. In the round, half the room is always behind the action — the screen is how they see the finish.
What we supplied
Every part of the job, listed rather than summarised.
Fighting area and its immediate build.
Bowl seating laid out for sightlines in the round.
Fighter graphics, cards and replays for the seats behind the action.

Tell us the site, the date and what it has to do. We will tell you what it takes and whether we are the right people for it.
