Spectations, part of our Speaking of Design podcast, speaks to the evolving landscape of sports and recreation and the spaces that bring them to life.

In Spectations’ inaugural episode, Andrew Elmer, HDR architecture sports and recreation director, sits down with Amy Hornocker, executive director of the College World Series, who shares an inside look at the operations, traditions and community impact behind one of college sports’ biggest events. Their conversation dives into how community partnerships, innovative stadium design and fan engagement are shaping the future of college sports.
