12.15 FLEXIBLE SEATING CAPACITY STADIUMS A NEW DESIGN APPROACH
Sheldon King, director, The Product People
The business of sport entertainment is a money-making commodity: the stadium that can ofer a
seating capacity to attract international events gets the job, and the broadcasting revenue. Managing
the cost and legacy of gearing up for large events carries serious fnancial risk and hence reward. A
fexible stadium seating design that increases seating capacity as required ofers ambitious venues a
chance to reap the rewards without the burden of unusable seating after the events have concluded.

4.35 REGIONAL CLIMATE AND ITS IMPACT ON STADIA DESIGN
Jon Galsworthy, principal/project consultant, Rowan Williams Davies & Irwin
Michael Soligo, principal/president and CEO, Rowan Williams Davies & Irwin
Understanding a regional climate is critical to a successful project. Local infuences place unique
demands on each project. Structural loads induced by strong winds, drifting snow or sand on
stadia roofs impact both the safety and economy of a particular design. Other climate factors
such as temperature, humidity, sunlight and precipitation afect the performance of athletes, the
comfort of spectators and the health of the turf. The microclimate, local wind and shading
patterns within and around a stadium project can mitigate or worsen these efects. This
presentation will cover services and techniques developed by RWDI to address these issues over
a 30+ year record and hundreds of stadia projects.
4.55 MEP ENGINEERING IN MODERN STADIA AND ARENAS
Mike Rogers, vice president, Smith Seckman Reid
Discussion will focus on two recent projects: the Orlando Events Center (OEC) and the new
football stadium for the University of North Texas (UNT). Both projects are submitted for LEED
certifcation, with OEC on track to obtain LEED Silver and UNT on track for LEED Platinum. The

for an iconic Canadian football stadium. Options generated ranged from the conservative to the

www.stadiadesignandtechnology.com www.stadiadesignandtechnology.com www.stadiadesignandtechnology.com


revolutionary. Among the options was a design based on shards of shattered ice. Physics
simulations and structural analysis determined the shard arrangement, and the mathematics of
quasi-crystals informed the exterior geometry of shard volumes and the corresponding structural
framing confguration. Studies for an integral operable roof utilized kinematics software to
generate visually engaging movement derived from simple linear actuators.

LED video screens inevitably deteriorate over time as LEDs age and as a result of normal screen
maintenance. Screens lose uniformity and colors look wrong. Today technology exists that can
recover an LED screens optimal appearance, adding years to its life. We describe why LED
screens need to be recalibrated, how to tell when a screen needs it, and how recalibration is
performed on-site, all with recent examples from calibrations we have done.
9.20 DECISION MAKING IN SECURITY AND EVENTS MANAGEMENT
Julien Piwowar, president, Pacifa Decision
To ensure viability to a sport area, the question of security is fundamental. Managers need to
anticipate the risks and foresee the best use of security measures (stewards, police ofcers,
barriers, etc.) appropriate to the economic income of the facility and the day-event context. To
solve the problem, Pacifa Decision develops and markets an ergonomic tool to make decisions
efciently and to optimize security management, taking into account human behavior.
Combining audits, expertise and innovative algorithms, our software allows various impacts of
attacks on a system to be anticipated thanks to simulations with dynamic representations of the
efects and responses on an interactive 3D tool.

Sponsored by Buro Happold
SESSION 10: ACOUSTIC AND AV CONSIDERATIONS FOR STADIUMS AND ARENAS
Leading industry experts will present case studies from previous and current sports projects,
with themes covered including architectural acoustics, noise control, sound and audio/visual
design for new-build and renovation projects.
11.30 ACOUSTIC AND AV CONSIDERATIONS FOR STADIUMS AND ARENAS
Ian Wolfe, principal, Acoustical Design Group
There is no single solution when it comes to sound in a sports facility. Each venue has unique
challenges and opportunities. To be fnancially viable, the facility must function for sporting
events as well as concerts, banquets and commencements each event having specifc, and
often conficting, requirements. A wide variety of projects will be discussed, identifying various
solutions employed to optimize reverberation, eliminate echoes, control noise and maximize
performance of the house sound system for seating bowls in arenas and stadia.
11.50 MEGAMINI: WHEN BIG IS SMALL AND SUSTAINABLE!
Kevin Callahan, architect, Callahan Studios
How did our forebears design stadiums without electricity, and what can we learn from that?
Natural room acoustics and environs are key before the audio, lighting and video systems kick
in, so how can we leverage that today? This seminar will be a two millennia whirlwind tour
applied to contemporary participatory assembly spaces from 20,000 to 300,000 seats; it will
focus on what our pre-electrical predecessors knew about intimacy and connectedness in
assembly environments, and what that means today in creating a sustainable balance of the
natural body language context integrated with modern bells and whistles. Hmmm an
assembly space architect who understands acoustics?!
