5G Lights
T-Mobile and Proscenium partnered to bring Friday Night Football into the 5G era for Inola High School, the first grand prize winners of T-Mobile's Friday Night 5G Lights campaign. The small Oklahoma school won big: a multimillion-dollar grant to revamp their football field, a brand-new scoreboard, and a state-of-the-art weight room. We turned their season opener into the biggest event the town had ever seen.
The tailgate takeover filled the parking lot with custom inflatables, games, giveaways, live longhorns, a dirty soda bar, and a T-Mobile spirit zone. DJ Aaron Smalls kept 4,000 fans rocking from a massive stage. This was more than double the expected attendance and a new school record. A MedVac helicopter delivered the game ball, and a ceremonial lever-pull powered on the new scoreboard for the first time.
But the finale stole the show: a 10-minute drone spectacle traced Inola's journey in lights above the field, forming symbols of the school's history and T-Mobile's support. With the full backing of local police, fire department, and school district, this wasn't just a football game—it was a once-in-a-lifetime community celebration and proof that Proscenium knows how to make Friday night and every night unforgettable.
