As stadiums modernize to meet the expectations of today’s fans, every square foot of space is under scrutiny. By reimagining how media operations are managed, forward-thinking venues are discovering surprising new opportunities for efficiency and revenue.
Rethinking the IP Fabric Control Room: Unlocking New Revenue Opportunities
In today’s hypercompetitive sports and entertainment landscape, stadium leaders are being challenged to do more with less—and to do it smarter. While innovations in fan engagement, IPTV, and WiFi dominate the conversation, there’s a quieter revolution underway that is reshaping stadium operations from the inside out: IP Fabric-powered control rooms.
Imagine turning your stadium’s most valuable real estate—often reserved for traditional, equipment-heavy control rooms—into revenue-generating VIP suites, lounges, or sponsorship zones. That’s the power of embracing IP Fabric for Media.
From Equipment Rooms to Experience Centers
Traditional SDI-based broadcast environments require a sprawling footprint: racks of equipment, patch panels, and operators tethered to physical gear. But with an IP Fabric infrastructure, media operations become virtualized, centralized, and remotely accessible—giving stadiums a path to reclaim that square footage without sacrificing control or quality.
“We’re helping stadiums shift from legacy systems to digital-first platforms. Media modernization doesn’t just improve workflows—it opens doors to new business models.”
