Abstract:

For many sports fans, attending a sporting event is about more than just watching the action unfold. It...s a chance to immerse themselves in the sights, sounds, and smells of the venue. Whether it...s a multibillion-dollar stadium or a high school gymnasium, each facility...s success is a result of meticulous planning, innovative design, strategic marketing, diligent maintenance, and effective management of operations and human resources. When all these factors align, fans leave with cherished memories, regardless of the game...s outcome.Managing Sport Facilities, Fifth Edition With HKPropel Access, exposes students to the many duties of sport facility managers and primes them for the responsibilities of the job. Merging historical and theoretical foundations with real-world challenges, the text features insights from a diverse group of professionals who offer perspectives on a variety of topics, spanning systems and operations, maintenance, and environmentally friendly practices.Endorsed by the Stadium Managers... Association, this updated edition is now in full color and places a greater emphasis on what facility managers and staff do on a daily basis and how venues are managed. To this end, a new chapter on systems management has been added, covering critical infrastructure such as plumbing, electrical systems, fire protection, life safety, communications, sound, and security. Additionally, a new chapter focusing on technology used in sports venues addresses lighting systems, scoreboard operation, concessions, and electronic ticketing.
