scope:

The purpose of this Recommended Practice is to provide the reader with recommendations to aid in the design of sports lighting systems. Popular sports such as baseball, tennis, basketball and football, as well as recreational social activities such as horseshoe pitching and croquet are covered. Venues for spectators of amateur, collegiate, and professional sports are complex facilities that should provide not only for the spectators but also the equipment used in modern sports broadcasting. This document does not address the needs of broadcasting; for this, the reader should look for guidance from the sports league or the project consultant.
