Podcasts about sports stadium

Retailers like gyms, grocery and department stores have traditionally played a crucial role as anchor tenants. But recent studies have flagged sports stadiums as having the potential to rival traditional anchors, generating millions, if not billions, of dollars. The recent attention has pushed developers to take a deeper look at sports stadiums. One big question for them: what happens when the stadium lights dim? Listen to industry experts Ersal Ozdemir, founder and owner of real estate development company Keystone Group and American soccer team Indy Eleven, and Jim Renne, JLL's national director for sports entertainment project development, chat about the creation of authentic communities, the life of stadiums beyond game days, and the economic drivers beyond these projects.

Flashback to 2008 when Ghana's football was so exceptional to the level that 4 world-class venues were presented to the organisers of AFCON 2008. Ohene Djan Sports Stadium and Baba Yara Sports Stadium were renovated to a modern standard with a 40,000 seater capacity each. Sekondi Takoradi Stadium and Tamale Stadium were newly built for the tournament with a 20,000-seater capacity for each, additionally. These were luxurious venues with titan tracks for athletics. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/ksspod/support

Sometimes we read that when we are presenting it should be just like a conversation with your friend.  The idea is we should be relaxed, inclusive, totally focused on the people we are speaking to.  Now will that work in the boardroom when presenting to the senior executives, none of whom are particularly friendly?  Will this work with an audience of legitimate experts in your field?  Will this work with clients when pitching for their business.  We need to determine from the very start what it is we are trying to achieve.  Are we going to pass on a lot of recent and relevant information that our audience will appreciate, because they can then use that in their work or use it to add to their own presentations?  If it is a technical topic and the attendees are experts, then an inform style speech will work very well.  Should it be chatty?  Probably not.  The audience may feel we are not taking them seriously enough. This doesn't give us a blank cheque now to be dull and boring.  We need to tailor our talk to our audience and to how much they know about the subject.  Too high level and full of insider jargon and we, the great unwashed, will feel stupid, isolated and diminished by the speaker.  Then we will get angry at our unfair treatment.  As the speaker our job is to be an effective communicator, so we need to be using power in or power out to highlight certain words we want to stress.  We should be using gestures which are congruent with what we are saying.  Our eyes should be on the audience the whole time picking up visual clues as to how well they are receiving our message.  We should be telling stories to make the points easier to recall.  Where possible we should include aspects of our own experience both good and bad, to be added to the mix to make it real for the listeners. If the object is to impress your audience and convince them of your suggestions. then we need lots of evidence in the talk.  This is not a backyard over the fence chat.  This is well structured to layer on so much evidence that the audience can only agree with our ideas.  We need oodles of logic, facts, data, statistics, testimonials, evidence etc.  We may need a little showmanship to bring these dead numbers to life.  A distance expressed as a numeral is an abstract idea for most people.  But if we expressed it as so many football pitch lengths, then people would have a much better idea of how far we are talking.  The same with volumes.  If we compared it to a Sports Stadium or an Olympic pool, then the concept of sizes is easier to grasp. If our aim is to persuade or get people to commit to action, then we need to be highly energised.  If we don't look enthusiastic about the idea then the audience may well be asking themselves why they should bother to get behind this suggestion from us.  We will need plenty of word pictures to draw out the end result such that the audience can see it in their mind's eye.  Getting from the abstract to the concrete as fast as possible is critical.  We need to be describing what the future looks like after they take up our ideas and suggestions.  If it was a course in financial accounting, for example, we need to be talking about the types of complex analysis the graduates will be able to perform.  Now comes the important bit, relate that new found facility to the business and how it will either save or increase money.  We cannot leave the outcomes at the general directional level, we need to nut out the concrete gains. If our job is to entertain the audience, then the conversational manner is a good one.  This is disarming, because we are inviting people to relax through our own informality.  The storytelling will need to be on fire.  We will be relating incidents and filling them out with people, places, seasons and all manner of detail to make the scene come alive.  This is the verbal equivalent of the novelist setting the scene for the action.  In novels, the writer doesn't just say an exchange of spies took place.  The author constructs the tense drive to the bridge, outlines the bleak surrounds, paints in the fog encased atmosphere, injects interesting personalities into the mix.  As the speaker we need to be doing the same thing.  Chatty, witty talks are fine for when we should be chatty.  At other times, we need to be more circumspect and formal. Not dull, but formal and the difference is mightily important.  In some cases we may need to come armed with a battalion of bar charts and tie our audience up with our line graphs and then hit them with our pie charts.  We belt them with detail and data until they surrender.  We might also need to be at our pulpit, preaching our doctrine, making our strident calls for obedience to our ideas and words.  Fully indoctrinated, we attempt to infect others.  Definitely not a chat.  Or we might need to be topical, on point, deep in the zeitgeist as they say, informing others of what is the state of play.  The key is to decide which approach you will take from the very start, before you even get anywhere near a slide deck.  Do that and you will be well on the way to exceeding your audiences expectations.

If you’re a Strong Towns advocate who lives in a North American city with a professional sports team, chances are that team’s stadium isn’t exactly your favorite local development—even if you’re the loudest one cheering on game days. That’s because in too many of our places, stadiums have become synonymous with silver-bullet thinking in our city governments, and that means hefty tax incentives, dubious job creation claims, and humongous, urban-fabric-destroying parking lots. There’s increasing evidence that no recent stadium project has delivered the promised return on investment in a major North American city—and that’s before franchise owners pack up their teams for a whole new city and leave their expensive city-owned mega-arena to sit empty (cough cough *St. Louis Rams* cough).But that might be about to change. And it’s all starting in an unexpected place: Halifax, Nova Scotia. Today on Upzoned, we bring you the story of the Halifax Wanderers Football Club (that’s rest-of-the-world football, not US football), and what the franchise owners did when it was time to give their team a new home. Instead of cratering their downtown for an underground parking garage and pouring hundreds of millions of dollars into the ground in the form of flashy, quickly-outdated amenities, the Wanderers built their Grounds with a much more humble plan in mind. They started with simple shipping containers to delineate the border of the stadium, removable bleachers offering just 6,000 seats, and a city price tag of exactly $0. (Well, the city helps cut the grass—a privilege for which the team pays rent.) The result? Tickets are selling out every game, and with their proof of concept delivered, the team is thinking of adding more, and maybe making a few other elements of their quasi-temporary stadium permanent. We heard about this project from a great article in the Toronto Star, and were delighted to learn that the author of the piece was… Strong Towns member Tristan Cleveland! So we asked him to join host Kea for an in-depth talk on how other cities can learn from the Halifax’s inspiring new stadium, as well as what Strong Towns means for Canadians, how Tristan’s day job at the incredible Happy City organization, and much more. Then in the Downzone, we talk about our recent reads: The Honest Truth about Dishonesty by Dan Ariely, which delivers some surprising insights on how lying impacts our built environments, and Samuel Johnson’s Eternal Return by Martin Riker, which decidedly doesn’t, but is still a really great novel about what a father will do to be with his son, even after death. Side note: we apologize that the audio on this podcast is a little less awesome than usual! We had to record on Skype, rather than our usual platform; we choose to blame the Canadian internet.Additionally, we apologize to the Tampa Bay Rays, whom Kea mis-identified as the team ridiculous enough to put exotic fish aquariums in the backs of their bleacher seats. That would be the Marlins, and it was actually their home plate backstop. Anyway, go Rays.

Can A Presentation Be Conversationalist And Still Be Business Professional?   Sometimes we read that when we are presenting it should be just like a conversation with your friend. The idea is we should be relaxed, inclusive, totally focused on the people we are speaking to.  Now will that work in the boardroom when presenting to the senior executives, none of whom are particularly friendly?  Will this work with an audience of legitimate experts in your field?  Will this work with clients when pitching for their business.    We need to determine from the very start what it is we are trying to achieve.  Are we going to pass on a lot of recent and relevant information that our audience will appreciate, because they can then use that in their work or use it to add to their own presentations?  If it is a technical topic and the attendees are experts, then an inform style speech will work very well.  Should it be chatty?  Probably not. The audience may feel we are not taking them seriously enough.   This doesn't give us a blank cheque now to be dull and boring.  We need to tailor our talk to our audience and to how much they know about the subject.  Too high level and full of insider jargon and we, the great unwashed, will feel stupid, isolated and diminished by the speaker.  Then we will get angry at our unfair treatment.    We need to be using power in or power out to highlight certain words we want to stress.  We should be using gestures which are congruent with what we are saying.  Our eyes should be on the audience the whole time picking up visual clues as to how well they are receiving our message.  We should be telling stories to make the points easier to recall.  Where possible we should include aspects of our own experience both good and bad, to be added to the mix to make it real for the listeners.   If the object is to impress your audience and convince them of your suggestions. then we need lots of evidence in the talk.  This is not a backyard over the fence chat.  This is well structured to layer on so much evidence that the audience can only agree with our ideas.  We need oodles of logic, facts, data, statistics, testimonials, evidence etc. We may need a little showmanship to bring these dead numbers to life.  A distance expressed as a numeral is an abstract idea for most people.  But if we expressed it as so many football pitch lengths, then people would have a much better idea of how far we are talking. The same with volumes.  If we compared it to a Sports Stadium or an Olympic pool, then the concept of sizes is easier to grasp.   If our aim is to persuade or get people to commit to action, then we need to be highly energised.  If we don't look enthusiastic about the idea the audience may well be asking themselves why they should bother to get behind this suggestion from us.  We will need plenty of word pictures to draw out the end result such that the audience can see it in their mind's eye.  Getting from the abstract to the concrete as fast as possible is critical.  We need to be describing what the future looks like after they take up our ideas and suggestions.  If it was a course in financial accounting, for example, we need to be talking about the types of complex analysis the graduates will be able to perform.  Now comes the important bit, relate that new found facility to the business and how it will either save or increase money.  We cannot leave the outcomes at the general directional level, we need to nut out the concrete gains.   If our job is to entertain the audience, then the conversational manner is a good one. This is disarming, because we are inviting people to relax through our own informality.  The storytelling will be on fire.  We will be relating incidents and filling them out with people, places, seasons and all manner of detail to make the scene come alive.  This is the verbal equivalent of the novelist setting the scene for the action.  The writer doesn't just say an exchange of spies took place.  The author constructs the drive to the bridge, outlines the surrounds, paints in the atmosphere, injects interesting personalities into the mix. As the speaker we need to be doing the same thing.    Chatty, witty talks are fine for when we should be chatty.  At other times, we need to be more circumspect and formal.

In 1979 Somalia opened a state of the art sports stadium to host international sporting events. But with the beginning of the civil war in the 1990s the stadium became a base for successions of fighting forces. Last month it was formally handed it back to the state, so can it reclaim its former glory? BBC Somali's Ahmed Abdinur was a sports official at the stadium during its glory days.

Facebook has pushed ahead with trials of its latest initiative 'Canvas' and launched 'Sports Stadium'. Canvas is a mobile ad platform that allows advertisers to create a ‘miniature version’ of their website within the Facebook app. Sports Stadium will collate content from a variety of users, journalists and brands about a specific sporting event, offering huge potential for those brands that are big on reactive marketing. We have delved deeper into the importance of reactive marketing in our latest whitepaper http://www.stickyeyes.com/intelligence/why-you-need-to-be-proactive-about-reactive-marketing/.
