Not Designed For This

When an architect sits down to design the next great stadium, they are thinking of how to unite the athletes with the fans. It is not an accident that teams are named after cities and regions, and the very idea of going to a game is a communal experience and a way to feel closer with the people who bleed your team’s colors. Successful stadium design highlights this togetherness.

As we pull out of the COVID-19 quarantine, mass gatherings have a different connotation. A stadium that was designed for mobility and ease of navigating now poses a potential threat. Tyler Kern sat down with Matthew Birchall of Buro Happold to discuss how they are running people-flow modeling to help balance new occupancy needs with business imperatives.

Cleveland Guardians' new cloud phone system saves IT 20 to 30 hours a week

Cleveland Guardians' new cloud phone system saves IT 20 to 30 hours a week

TTx's Maven Cloud, built on Intermedia's platform, integrated with the Cleveland Guardians' existing Microsoft Teams and Dynamics 365 environment and frees 20 to 30 IT hours weekly. The contact center was the pilot for a club-wide rollout.

  • 01The clearest payoff from the Guardians' cloud calling move shows up in staff time: 20 to 30 IT hours a week no longer spent maintaining an on-premises phone system.

MLB sponsorship revenue rose 57% since 2022 on just 17% more deals

MLB teams generated $2.12 billion in 2026 sponsorship revenue, up 7.3%, while deal count rose 1.2%, according to SponsorUnited. Since 2022, revenue has climbed 57% on 17% more deals. That gap suggests the average deal is worth considerably more, though mix effects could explain part of it, leaving renewal packages bigger and priced differently than past agreements.

  • 01Jersey sleeve patches now sit on all 30 MLB teams, making the sleeve a standard premium line item in baseball inventory.
