Sporting based events can present a number of their own specific problems and issues. Some of the aspects of running these events can be taken from the ‘Outdoor Festivals’ section of the site.

Sporting Venues
When organising major sporting events it is always worthwhile considering the use of a purpose built sporting event venue – although other venues can be used

Sporting Technical Equipment
As well as similar equipment to the ‘Outdoor Festivals’ and ‘Indoor Concerts’, sporting type events may require specialist timing and scoring equipment

Sporting Infrastructure
Infrastructure requirements will be similar to those of ‘Outdoor Festivals’ and ‘Indoor Concerts’ such as temporary venues, temporary power, outdoor lighting, stages, fencing and portable buildings. There may also be the need for sporting specific items of infrasturture to make the event successful

Site Planning
Designing sites for sporting events can be time consuming, as race lengths and pitch sizes have to be accurate. This is in addition to the elements such as health & safety, as well as crowd flow and venue design which all have to be taken into account. This is particularly important when designing temporay campsites and villages for events

Event Staff
There will be many people involved in running an event of this nature – some will work in the view of the public (front of house) and others will work backstage. There will also be people who run the site

Customers
It is important to look after customers and to ensure that they enjoy the entire experience. There are some simple elements of organising indoor concerts that can be used to keep the audience happy, and to increase your revenue
