crowds. Understanding fans’ changing needs and requirements is paramount
to developing a venue capable of maximizing fan engagement, commercial
opportunities deriving from a modern stadium, and stakeholder ROI. Click

connected lighting systems can be used in stadiums to create ambience
and excitement while also collecting real-time data, optimizing
performance through remote control, and enabling interaction with fans
via mobile devices.

“The way fans experience sports in stadiums has changed significantly in
recent years and will change even more quickly in the next decade,” says
Christina Jung, research analyst with Navigant Research. “In addition to
enhancing the fan experience, connected lighting can also leverage LED
technology to drive improvements in energy efficiency and
sustainability.”

For market players in the stadium lighting space, Navigant Research
recommends vendors build specific value propositions for each
stakeholder, set clear objectives, and develop holistic strategies. In
addition, marketing smart and sustainable features, as well as
technology that attracts fan, can help drive business.
