1. Understand what you order
There is a difference between a multi-functional arena and a sports hall: The restaurant must work well in conjunction with the hot dog stand,which must be in sync with the handball match being played,after which everything must then be able to be reorganised prior to the concert that will take place in the evening
… in other words, the arena requires a great degree of flexibility. This means that, while architectural aspects are one part of the feasibility study, there are also many other factors that must be considered when making decisions.
The users consist of more than just the spectators. Comfort aspects and logistics must work smoothly for all concerned, including visiting artists and their entourage that arrive with a fleet of vehicles. Otherwise their first visit will also be their last.
Build that which is necessary, and ensure a relevant degree of flexibility when it comes to adapting the arena for the staging of different types of events. Will concerts be held there? What about conferences? By ensuring an ability to adapt the facilities to different types of events, the arena will be capable of staging a large event or show without the need for significant modifications after the arena has been built.
