Welcome to the third issue of our TENTH year of STADIUM TECH REPORTS, the Fall 2023 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.
This issue we are continuing our new direction of providing one extremely in-depth report, this time on the innovative concessions operations at Empower Field at Mile High in Denver. We hope you enjoy our in-person visit insights as well as the interviews we conducted with executives from caterer Aramark Sports and Entertainment and the individual technology providers.
