Stadium sets a new benchmark in
sports hospitality. This is an exclusive
lounge and restaurant facility for a
limited number of members and their
guests linked to “best in the house”
halfway line seats.
New internal entrances and
upgraded staircases lead initially to a
20m long champagne feature bar
flanked by stylish lounge seating
areas, and from there to a range of
spacious but intimate dining spaces
with the highest quality restaurant
food on offer.
The interior design – by KSS –
successfully brings together a
selection of high quality finishes, fine
joinery detailing, contemporary
furniture upholstered in fine fabrics
and bespoke feature lighting to
create an elegant environment with
just a hint of extravagance.

how a stadium’s design can impact the atmosphere inside it. A better understanding of
the atmosphere will help deliver the ultimate fan experience.

09.30 OPENING KEYNOTE
A STADIUM LIFESPAN
Commerzbank-Arena: Reaching Old Age as a Teenager
Stadia were once buildings for millennia. Now they
are buildings for Millenials. Post-war stadia typically
remained (and many remain) in operation for 50
years or more. More recently, stadia lifespans have
decreased to less than 20 years. Increasing
stakeholder demands and rising customer
expectations mean that these buildings need
constant upkeep and upgrade. We reflect on the
success of the Frankfurt’s Commerzbank-Arena
(pictured) – one of the standout stadia of the FIFA
World™ 2006 projects – and explore the key drivers
behind a range of proposed enhancements and
modifications to leep it fit for purpose. Is 13 years
now considered old age for a stadium?
• Patrik Meyer, CEO, Commerzbank-Arena, Germany
10.00 THE NEW FAN EXPERIENCE
START-UPS, INCUBATORS AND IMMERSIVE ENGAGEMENT TEST BEDS
The term is frequently applied to any and all
technology installations, but what actually is
a ‘smart stadium’? And how does one
deliver it? In Spain, the Global Sports
Innovation Center by Microsoft has initiated
a new acceleration program dubbed Sport
Thinkers Smart Stadium to attract
technology-based startups that will help
transform the stadium experience. In its first
application, the programme is working with Real Sociedad to improve the
facilities of its Anoeta Stadium (pictured) that is currently undergoing
reconstruction. As we delve into the increasingly ‘stage-managed’
production of the matchday experience – from LED lighting, video replays
and audio stings – through to Augmented Reality – what is the expected
impact on future stadium design?
