Stadiums and arenas are the cornerstone of live sporting events - but today’s sports venue is vastly different than those built just a decade ago. Brian Mirakian of Populous, a firm that has designed and built venues from Camden Yards to the new Yankee Stadium, joined us to discuss how stadiums and arenas are rapidly changing to engage with the modern fan and provide new and innovative sports experiences.

This is Part 1 of a two-part Future of the Stadium series, focused on how technology is changing the physical spaces in which we watch sports. Part 2 will take a look at digital enhancements to the live sports experience.
