Sports and Entertainment: Connected Venues Enhance the Fan Experience and Optimize the Environment

Today, the sports and entertainment industry embraces technology to make the fan experience richer and more enjoyable. At Johnson Controls, we’ve helped venues around the globe create safe, secure, and connected environments. We look at more than sight lines, seat width, and concessions. We help venues integrate technologies to give your tech-savvy fans and event-goers new ways to connect to their passions and to share their experiences.

We link consumer technologies like web services, point-of-sales systems, digital signage, and concessions. We deploy operational components like high-density Wi-Fi, integrated lighting control, and voice and data capabilities. By leveraging customer data gathered at every fan touchpoint—from parking patterns to ticketing to concessions—we help you build new businesses, unlock new revenue streams, and capture operational efficiencies. In addition, an integrated infrastructure of all systems—building, IT, business, sports, and entertainment—can make venues more energy efficient and more adaptable. We can help you improve the bottom line.

The drive to energy efficiency and sustainability continues to gather momentum, and we are here to help make your facility as green as you want it to be. For new construction as well as retrofits, take advantage of state-of-the-art systems from Johnson Controls to make heating and cooling more efficient and more environmentally friendly.

A more efficient, more sustainable venue generates multiple benefits aside from the most important one of reducing your environmental footprint. Fans increasingly appreciate a “green” facility. Sustainable facilities perform better, with less energy, with obvious impact on the bottom line.

Fans, patrons, and cities all benefit from more secure arenas and safer neighborhoods around them. We have created technologically-rich life-safety solutions for large facilities, ranging from electronic access controls and video surveillance to fire and security alarms, and digital voice evacuation—all centralized for easy management and rapid response. We help you ensure your facility and surrounding areas are safe and secure.
