If sports fields are also set up for athletics, more light is generally needed than for pure football fields, both for the players and the spectators. This does not only apply to the running tracks around a pitch.
In addition to the running tracks, there are usually several other areas for the various athletics disciplines, such as pole vault, long jump or even shot-put. These special areas also place special demands on the floodlighting system, and this is also taken into account in the lighting design.
