Going to a sporting event used to be all about sitting in bleacher seats and chowing down on your favorite game-time snack, but these days technology plays as much of a factor in stadiums as it does in the business world. From energy efficient, LEED-certified architecture or the capacity to simultaneously provide thousands of fans with free Wi-Fi, stadiums have become shining examples of the latest and greatest technology the industry has to offer.
And while there are hundreds of stadiums, arenas and ballparks in the United States, only a few have the distinction to be named after major IT companies. We’ve listed some of our favorite venues here in order of capacity.
In an effort to be fair, we’ve only listed one stadium or arena from each company, even though several companies have multiple venues named after them.
Have you had the opportunity to attend a game or concert at one of these venues? Let us know in the comments and be sure to tell us about the most technologically advanced stadiums you’ve attended.
