Creating the Best Fan Experience is Top of Mind in Professional Sports Facilities There’s more planning and strategizing occurring than meets the eye when new professional sports facilities rise from the ground or existing ones undergo a renovation. From choosing the best video boards to selecting the most innovative seating solutions; from the most optimal wireless connectivity to enacting security procedures to reduce insurance premiums, facility designers strive to develop the ultimate fan experience. Top construction companies monitor the industry to take advantage of the latest trends. Then, once a new building has had a few season cycles there’s more planning to keep it updated and fresh throughout its entire life span. Check out some of the best projects recently completed or in the works in this special professional sports facility industry section.
