What It Says?

• AV can make or break the sports venue experience. The fan survey reveals that when fans are very satisfied with all the AV aspects of their venue visit, they are almost always very satisfied overall. By contrast, fans disappointed by even just one AV component are likely to be very dissatisfied with their experience overall. The data are clear that AV integration is a high-stakes investment for sports executives. Improvements center on updating established technology, though expansion plans are prevalent as well.

• Venues are deploying digital signage to expand beyond their walls. Venue executives revealed that the spaces outside of their buildings was the most frequent space for planned AV upgrades. Further digital signage is the AV product on track to experience the greatest increase in planned deployment over the next year. Clearly, these decision-makers understand that excellence in sports venues means pushing the boundaries.
