10.20 URBAN CATALYST: THE SPORTS COMPLEX IN COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
Robert Mankin, AIA, LEED AP Partner, NBBJ
The realities of the global economy and sound environmental stewardship demand that todays
sports facilities serve multiple uses and constituents. As shown in several recent projects, there is
tremendous potential to create integrated sports centers that become true catalysts for urban
development, positively impacting commercial growth and everyday human life. Through the
examination of three project case studies, we will examine how diferent combinations of
programs, sports uses, development priorities, and locations are transforming the sports complex,
and leading to greater revenue consistency and a more powerful impact on urban growth.

11.35 A CUT ABOVE: LIGHTWEIGHT STADIUM RISERS
Christian Deveau, business development manager, Lightweight Stadium Risers, Structal-Heavy Steel Construction
Owners demand high-quality products and cost-efective solutions when facing the challenges

has developed the value-added Lightweight Stadium Risers, a patent-pending innovative
product that reduces supporting material, foundation and transportation costs, while increasing
erection efciency. This exclusive concept ofers other attractive advantages, including
architectural fexibility, rapid on-site installation and watertight construction. Seat installation is
also greatly simplifed due to its extruded slot and T-bolt confguration. No drilling required!
11.55 MODULAR STADIA CONSTRUCTION: COMPELLING ADVANTAGES IN TERMS OF
FLEXIBILITY, COST AND TIME
Bernd Helmstadt, managing director, Nssli (Deutschland) GmbH
In fast-paced times with limited resources, the requirements that modern stadiums and arenas have to
fulfll are undergoing change. The presentation shows new ways for sustainable stadia construction,
highlighting the international project experiences of Nssli. The modular stadia approach generates
well-proven solutions, unparalleled in terms of fexibility, cost and time. The solution meets the highest
standards of architecture, functionality and safety. Stadia and arenas built or extended in modular style
ofer decisive advantages. Modules can be used for a limited period of time. Steel-based modular
structures or expansions beat any other system when it comes to installation speed. Tailored modular
stadia solutions are developed and implemented with a very short lead time.

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
