Keep reading and see important tips for when you choose the venue for your sporting event!
How large is your audience?
As soon as you start organizing the event, you already have an estimate of how many people will attend. This makes all the difference in choosing the most suitable location. Check if the venue offers comfort to spectators and athletes and if it has enough space for all activities.
What infrastructure is necessary for the planned activities?
Sporting events are different from other types of events like concerts, conferences, etc., and require a specific space depending on the planned sporting activity. Avoid making irrelevant adaptations so as not to compromise the activities. Choose the right place for every activity you want to propose in your event.
Another important aspect is the number of restrooms. Ideally, you should have an average of 1 restroom for every 25 people. This way, you avoid unpleasant situations for your audience.
When the event takes place in a venue lacking adequate infrastructure, both for spectators and athletes, its image is compromised. This can jeopardize your future endeavors.
What are the day and time of the event?
The date and time of your event must be defined so that you can choose the best location. When you visit the space, check if it is suitable for the time. Check, for example, if you have space protected from the sun for daytime events, or good lighting for nighttime events.
When choosing the date, think mainly about your audience's availability, and only then look for the best place to host the event. Also, think about the weather forecast; choose strategically.
Is the venue safe?
Finding a safe venue is crucial for the success of the event, especially for sports. Ensure that you have all the safety requirements for the athletes and the public. Also, verify that the authorizations for using the site have not expired and that all documentation is correct.
It is also necessary to take into account the safety of the area where the venue is located, to prevent people from having to cross dangerous areas. Carefully evaluate the venue and the surrounding environment.
Is the venue accessible?
As mentioned earlier, accessibility is a very important point to consider when choosing the event venue. Places that are too far away or difficult to reach keep the audience away. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to event logistics.
Another aspect is the internal accessibility of the venue. Check whether people can move from one area to another during the event without difficulty, especially if you plan to carry out different activities. This allows people to make the most of the event.
It is important to observe the aspects highlighted above when choosing the event venue, to avoid unforeseen events during the event's execution. This way, you ensure that your audience has a good experience and feels comfortable. Care during organization is essential to create a good image and build loyalty with your audience.
