BETWEEN THE PIPES

Coors Light at Amalie Arena, Tampa Bay Lightning

THE ASK

“Between the Pipes” is Coors Light’s branded terrace-level bar fan-experience at Amalie Arena, home of the NHL’s World Champion Tampa Bay Lightning. Atop the second deck of the bar sits the NHL’s largest digital organ, centerpiece to Amalie Arena’s sound experience. The sound attracts all eyes toward the Coors Light branding. The objective of this project was to renovate the bar space and transform it into a more premium experience, ultimately driving Coors Light product sales within the arena. A total re-skinning within the original footprint, the design/build firm Paramount and Coors Light’s experiential agency, Jack Morton, asked Pinpoint to advise, fabricate, produce, and install the new premium makeover. Pinpoint executed the creative vision of Jack Morton and Paramount, including the creation of dimensional, light-up channel lettering; a custom-fabricated dimensional hockey stick wall; sleek, dimensional acrylic logos; service island and wall cladding with brushed aluminum, real wood, and vinyl graphics. Given the accessibility challenge of reaching the balcony front due to its height and location, installation required the use of both a 75-ton all-terrain hydraulic crane and 135-ft straight telescopic boom.
