It’s been another great article to work on with MONDO | STADIA, shining a spotlight on the latest high-tech arena to open in the UK with Co-op Live and discussing some of the innovative ways Oak View Group and partners like Elavon Europe are helping to transform the fan experience. In a climate where every expense is framed within a cost-of-living crisis, it’s no longer just about competing with other venues but any kind of vertical that seeks to entertain. Everything from Netflix to PlayStation is a potential competitor. To get people into stadiums and arenas today requires the most attractive propositions and a level of service that meets the modern consumer’s expectations. If they are only going to make one big spend each month, how do you convince them it should be with you…?

Imagine watching the Olympic Games and only hearing the pounding on the floor as someone runs and the cheering in the background ... without seeing anything on screen. Most broadcasters only offer subtitles and captions, which only help those with hearing impairments. So it's really great to see that NBCUniversal are adding Audio Descriptions and enhanced closed captioning to the coverage of the Olympic Games Paris 2024 making it accessible to more viewers and listeners so they can enjoy the excitement of the Olympic Games too. Great to see this Gary Zenkel and Thomas Wlodkowski - look forward to seeing more from NBCUniversal (and I hope more broadcasters adopt this too).

Sky Sports and the BBC have announced a historic five-year partnership with the Women's Professional League, securing the rights to show nearly 90 per cent of all Women's Super League matches from the 2025/26 season. The value of the deal is undisclosed but it is understood the rights fee is worth approximately £65m across the duration of the five seasons, plus production costs, taking the broadcasters’ total investment in the women’s game to comfortably over £100m. The new agreement represents a huge increase on the current deal, which is understood to be worth in the region of £7m-£8m a season. Sky Sports are understood to be contributing the vast majority of that investment and, in return, they have been given up to 118 matches from the WSL every season, with 78 fixtures shown exclusively; new partnership also gives Sky the option to show matches from the Women's Championship and Women's League Cup, including the final.
