Location:

Metroplex

Client:

Name Withheld for Security Reasons

Industry:

Professional Sports & Entertainment

Scope:

Full ballistic and forced-entry retrofit across two high-risk facilities

Book a Private Threat Assessment

Walk the perimeter with experts who’ve secured the pros.

The Challenge:

Rising Threats in Public-Facing Spaces

After a tragic mass shooting at a Florida gaming tournament, one of the nation’s premier basketball franchises took a hard look at its own facilities:

Their Esports Venue, frequently packed with fans, staff, and media

Their Corporate HQ, located along a high-traffic urban corridor

The risks weren’t theoretical anymore. 
‍Visibility had become vulnerability.

Their goal wasn’t just protection, it was preservation:

Stop ballistic threats before they breach
Prevent smash-and-grabs or active intrusion
Maintain brand integrity and architectural aesthetics
Complete the project without disrupting daily operations

The Solution:

Tactical Fortification, Invisible Execution

Starmor delivered a layered, discreet, and defense-grade solution across both facilities.

Esports Facility

UL752 Level 7 Bullet-Resistant Glass on all ground-floor windows and doors Capable of stopping AR-15 rounds and high-velocity rifle fire
‍Structural reinforcement of the building envelope
Strategic glass anchoring to resist forced entry during live events

Corporate Headquarters

Upgraded all façade glass to Level 3 Bullet-Resistant Panels- Stops .44 Magnum and most high-caliber handgun rounds
Applied privacy film to obscure interior layouts from outside view- One-way visibility: Staff can see out— threats can’t see in
Installed aesthetic-grade bollards to prevent vehicle ramming— Blended seamlessly into landscape architecture

Why It Worked:

Strength Without Spectacle

This franchise needed more than gear they needed a partner who understood nuance:

No military-grade “bunker” visuals
No delays to ongoing business
No compromise between security and brand presentation

Starmor’s proprietary, threat-based assessment allowed us to craft a defense system worthy of a national-level brand without drawing unwanted attention.

Zero operational disruption
Visual discretion maintained for players, executives, and guests
True protection in an era of rising, media-amplified risk
