These aren’t really strobe lights. They are simply LED lights. LEDs have evolved very quickly since their introduction, are they now to a point that the same fixture can be tuned to virtually any color of the rainbow and can switch colors in milliseconds; can be dimmed to any level; and can switch on/off instantaneously. It just depends on the sophistication of the driver. Most LED fixtures have drivers that offer dimming and variable white light. The most sophisticated can offer any level of any color, any level of switching, any level of dimming, and super rapid on/off. What you are seeing in that video is the various fixtures are programmed to switch on/off sequentially, and rapidly, giving a pseudo strobe effect.
Not at all surprising coming from Musco - the pre-eminent sports lighting company in the world. You will see this type of lighting very commonplace within the next five years.

Hope nobody in the stadium is impacted by flicker vertigo. ;D

Also not as annoying as the school that fires a cannon from their pirate ship every time they score.

One of our schools has these lights. They’re somewhat annoying to me, but maybe not as much as the bands that play the SportsCenter theme all night because it’s the only song they know.While we are ranting, I’m really tired of the fireworks show before kickoff. It was kool the first 10,000 times but it’s lost its luster for me.

I mean, I think school districts should be getting a lot more funds and some are definitely hurting because of it -- but we're a long way from fireworks and laser show money.
