From animation to changing colors and synchronizing to events like Brewers' home runs, big plays at Fiserv Forum and live music — the capabilities will be broadcast and streamed live on the Light the Hoan Facebook page. The Hoan will remain lit every night after.
All funds raised for the lighting, installation and maintenance were raised privately between May of 2018 and January 2020 with no public dollars involved. The Light the Hoan team will continue to fundraise the last $1.1 million of the $4.6 million project to light the east side of the bridge.
