TowerStream's antennas sit on a platform that is 1,000 feet above the streets of Manhattan. It is just below the observation deck where the public can get panoramic views of the city. This is also the tier of the Empire State Building where the flood lights sit that are used to illuminate the top of the Empire State Building at night. Different color filters are used for different occasions. In addition to a regular schedule of colors, colors of New York's sports teams are often used on the nights they have home games.
