ESSMA Webinar: how to create the best possible fan zone with insights from Brøndby IF and SL Benfica

Fan zones are growing in a multitude of European stadiums. Today, about a quarter of stadiums are equipped with a fan zone. They differ in size and concept, but all have one thing in common: extending the matchday experience.

When a stadium is considering a fan zone, there are a lot of questions to be answered:

• How large should it be?

• Open air or a closed area?

• Simple food and drinks or unexpected experiences?

Thomas Skøv Petersen (Marketing Manager at Brøndby IF) and Cristiano Vieira (F&B Operations Manager at SL Benfica) will share insights on how they built their fan zones and how to earn back your initial investment during ESSMA’s second webinar.
