Summary

In Recent Years, the Construction of New Sport Facilities has steadily increased. In North America alone, there are 120 major professional sport franchises and 90 of these teams are playing in new stadiums, or are planning to construct new facilities. While stadiums and sporting facilities have long dotted the physical and cultural landscape, the new arenas are being built with features that will appeal to a wider variety of users.

Sport and event facility managers must understand now more than ever the synergy between the events, the ph... MOREysical structures, and myriad risks inherent in organizing an event. For anyone interested in a facility management career, it is imperative to be familiar with the principles and techniques that pertain to small facilities and events as well as multisport facilities and mega-events alike.
