This year’s Rugby 7’s event in Twickenham was host to the final leg of the 2012 HSBC World 7 series. Last year’s event had over 100,000 spectators in attendance during the 2 day event, and the 2012 weekend certainly didn’t disappoint in being bigger and better than the previous year.
Equipment Provided:
- 1 x 46sqm Mobile LED Screen
- On-board Stage and PA Sound System
- Live camera feed & crew
- Full Production, live editing and graphics
The tournament is part of the HSBC Sevens World Series, a competition that pits the finest national sevens sides against each other across nine different tournaments. Each nation scores points based on their performances in these competitions until the season ends in London and one team is crowned as the World Series champions. The party atmosphere generated by the fans in the stands is almost unrivalled in the Twickenham calendar and with fancy dress galore, coupled with exclusive competitions and unique entertainment.
The 2012 theme was 70’s disco with spectators donning flairs and platform shoes and whilst over 12 hours of high-octane rugby took place on the pitch, Big TV’s 46sqm “all-in-one” mobile screen was the focal point of “Funky Town” in the stadium’s West Car park. Open to all ticket holders, across the weekend, our stage hosted live bands, cheerleaders and other big screen entertainment to keep the atmosphere up-tempo between games.
The 2013 event promised to be even bigger and better, and it certainly disappoint with its Safari Park theme. Our screen was positioned in the west car park again, which was aptly renamed the Game Reserve, where all fans could enjoy on-stage entertainment including live music, interviews with players and on-stage games. One of our cameramen also filmed the London Women’s Invitational 7s, taking place on a nearby pitch and the live footage was streamed onto our screen.
