Mountain Productions on 2017 NFL Draft: Road to Super Bowl Began in PhiladelphiaAs two teams and one nation of NFL fans prepare for Super Bowl LII this Sunday in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Mountain Productions, a global event production provider based in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, is reflecting on the record-breaking temporary outdoor amphitheater they built to kick off the season at this year's NFL Draft. In this video released by Mountain Productions, the enormity of their work is shown in comparison to the 250,000 fans who attended this season's outdoor NFL Draft in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Resting on the iconic steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Mountain Productions designed, fabricated, and consulted on the construction of this engineering feat. The NFL Draft stage, built in the heart of Eagles Nation, became the largest semi-permanent amphitheater ever built. The structure, which allowed for one million pounds of rigging capacity, stood 70'-tall, spanned a downstage width of 250', and was supported by 20 post towers. "We knew this year was special starting off the season in Philadelphia with this landmark project -- it's only fitting to see our Eagles head to their third Super Bowl," said Ricky Rose, CEO of Mountain Productions. "We were proud to set the foundation for this year's season on our home turf." As one of North America's largest staging and event production companies, the 2017 NFL Draft was not the first time that Mountain Productions made headlines for their work. The Pennsylvania-based company has worked on more than 18,000 events, domestically and internationally, since being founded in 1979. They continue to produce some of the largest events and acts around the globe. A video can be found here https://youtu.be/eBYRJBGDZrY or at the shortened URL below.
