Is the Virtual Fan Experience Ready for the Big Game?
Venues will evolve beyond the “one ticket, one seat” model.
Guests no longer expect to sit in one seat solely to watch the game. They want options beyond the seat or the suite. From standing only tickets with access to communal viewing decks to sponsor zones and boxes, a wider range of ticket access enlarges access to more economic levels and heightens the game day experience.
A new generation of ticket buyers will expect a game day experience that prioritizes social connection and fellowship.
Casual fans go to sports venues primarily to have a social experience with their family, friends, co-workers, and even to meet new people. Venues that foster social connection and fellowship by creating spaces where groups can gather before, during, and after a game will attract a new generation of ticket buyers.
Sports venues that work in tandem with the surrounding community will thrive in the off-season.
For decades, sports venues have suffered as single-use typologies, sitting vacant in the off-season. To address the economic challenge of the empty stadiums when teams are off the field, owners can leverage the bustling commerce, entertainment, and culture of a surrounding district center. This also encourages citizens to utilize programming within the venue, heightening revenue and relevancy year-round.
