merous major international sports

Keeping fans engaged has become the top priority of stadium operators and in- tegrating venue technology into the sports business is the buzzword.

basketball team, and the Washing-
ton Valor of the Arena Football

ment. The Washington, D.C. head-
quartered sports and entertainment
