Sporting Stadium Venue Hire
Hosting a conference within a sports stadium can offer several benefits, creating a unique and memorable experience for attendees.
Stadiums are great venues whatever the size of your event.
Don’t only consider stadiums for large events as many of the venues offer hospitality boxes on site, so the smaller executive board meetings or exclusive client drinks receptions can also work well!
The Advantages!
Space & Capacity
Stadiums are designed to accommodate large audiences, making them ideal for conferences with a significant number of attendees. They provide ample space for various activities such as breakout sessions, exhibitions, dining & entertaining and team building events.
Central Location
Stadiums are usually easily accessible making it convenient for delegates to reach the venue via public transport or by car. Car parking, and lots of it, on site can also be a big bonus and more often than not will be free of charge for all delegates attending an event.
State Of The Art Facilities
Stadiums usually offer high-tech facilities with the most up-to-date technology to enhance the quality of presentations.
Flexibility
Stadiums are designed to accommodate a variety of events and their layouts can often be customized to suit the needs of your conference or event. This flexibility allows you to create distinct spaces for all different types of events.
Memorable Backdrops
Many of the event spaces provide fabulous views overlooking the pitches and an added incentive of a stadium tour or a guest speaker could be just what you need to give your event that extra ‘wow factor’.
The unique architecture and design of a stadium can serve as a captivating backdrop for photo opportunities, both for attendees and for marketing purposes.
Versatile Outdoor Spaces
Many stadiums have outdoor areas such as balconies or terraces (& at some venues you can even use their pitch!) that can be utilised for outdoor sessions, team building or social events. These areas can provide a breath of fresh air and a change of scenery during the conference.
Branding Opportunities
Stadiums often have large screens, banners and signage that can be used for branding and promotional purposes. This allows you to effectively showcase your sponsors and partners while enhancing the overall aesthetic of the event.
Top Tip
When considering a stadium venue for your next conference, it’s important to assess your event’s specific needs, budget, and logistical requirements to ensure that the venue meets all of your objectives.
Many stadiums now offer on-site accommodation with hotels being built either attached to the venue or very close by.
Hospitality packages are also available at the sporting venues so you can choose to book an experience to entertain your VIP clients.
