Custom Poles for Wrigley Field’s Gallagher Way

Overview:

The project required three sizes of custom steel poles, up to 30 feet high, that matched the ballpark’s architectural style while supporting lights, speakers, screens, and cameras. To replicate the I-beam look, Valmont welded three square tubes and four angle irons, added side-mounted hand holes to conceal wiring, and included custom arms for lighting and banners. A V-PRO finish with a 5-year warranty ensures durability in Chicago’s changing weather.
