Sports Stadia
Sports Stadia
What are they and what do they involve?
Sports stadia are a specific type of sports venue – they are some of the biggest sporting venues in the world, and consist of a central area for sports to be practiced in (such as a playing field/running track) and raised seating for spectators to watch the event. Such venues are generally either the official grounds of a sports team or are more versatile and host many different event types – whatever the occasion, a visit to a sports stadium will be a great experience, whether that be to watch an event, take a tour or even for some lucky and talented students to compete.
What are the benefits?
Events in a sports stadium will always be exciting, and very inspiring! Seeing what professionals are capable of can spark a desire in students to have a go at the sport themselves and actually participating in sports events held in stadiums can give huge confidence boost to everyone involved; the atmosphere in such a venue is as important as the activity itself.
What students is it suitable for?
Older students will enjoy being spectators more than younger groups, but the more interactive activities available will be great for everyone; some venues give school groups the chance to get out on the playing field themselves and practice sport where the professionals do, which will be a memorable experience for students of any age!
Costs?
Acquiring tickets to a sports event in a stadium can be reasonably expensive thanks to the large venue and the popularity of the fixtures, so you should make sure the event is the perfect fit for your student group! Some stadia offer guided tours and other workshops for groups which will often be cheaper, but prices will vary between venues.
Safety Implications?
Big venues such as sports stadia can be easy to get lost in, so make sure younger groups of students are carefully supervised! If the group is participating in a sporting activity, be mindful of the nature of the sport and the capabilities of the students – it’s important that the activity is suitable for the group!
National Organisations?
