Stadiums are the perfect architectural inventions to show one event to a mass amount of people. Stadium innovations have taken the iconic sports playing fields and help to enhance the experience, the design and the price (sometimes for better, sometimes for worse).
These stadium innovations are here to showcase that it’s a true experience everytime you go out to a game whether it be the ‘Birdnest’ from the 2008 Beijing Olympics, or the 160-foot screen at the Dallas Cowboys new stadium.
There is nothing like soaking in the atmosphere at a beautiful stadium!
