Welcome to the third issue of our NINTH year of STADIUM TECH REPORTS, the Fall 2022 issue! These long-form reports are designed to give stadium and large public venue owners and operators, and digital sports business executives a way to dig deep into the topic of stadium technology, via exclusive research and profiles of successful stadium technology deployments, as well as news and analysis of topics important to this growing market.
Our stories for this issue include an in-depth look at the new Wi-Fi network installed at the University of Louisville’s Cardinal Stadium, which required some extra concrete work; a technology profile of facial authentication systems, including those being used at First Energy Stadium in Cleveland, Citi Field in New York and Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta; and a look at the new Extreme Networks Wi-Fi 6 network installed at Boston’s venerable Fenway Park.
You can also download a full PDF of the report.
