Future requirements for infrastructure in stadiums and arenas

Corona as trigger for developments in infrastructure and digitization

What requirements will the infrastructure have to meet in the future in order to be considered "safe" for viewers?

The requirements that need to be met arise from two perspectives: The first perspective concerns the laws and regulations that provide a mandatory framework.

The challenge, particularly at present, is that the development of these rigid requirements is difficult to predict and makes advance planning to meet any requirements complex. A forward-thinking requirements engineering, in order to have flexible and scalable solutions for short-term changes in the legal and regulatory situation at hand, is an important strategy component here.

The second perspective concerns the needs and expectations of the visitor or fan. If the first perspective is fulfilled, the audience is ultimately the decision maker whether one feels - in whatever respect - safe and expectations are fulfilled.

We had a similar situation that came to a head at the time of the terror threats prior to an international match of the German national team in November 2015: suddenly the stadium experience had to be not only safe, but terror-proof. This could be achieved through an individual situation analysis, which led to the creation of this feeling of security. Despite all the objective precautions and specifications that were generally agreed upon here, it is ultimately up to the visitor to decide which measures make him feel safer, which precautions he accepts and under which conditions it is nevertheless attractive to take advantage of the stadium experience.
