Gillette Stadium, the home of the New England Patriots, must prepare itself to host even 60,000 guests for just a couple of hours. During that period, there is a team focused on ensuring guests have a great experience. From the moment they park their car until they leave the stadium with a smile. To face this challenge the Kraft Group with the advent of Extreme Analytics, has taken things to the next level. By collecting and analyzing massive amounts of data from various sources, such as fan surveys, social media, and ticketing information. Leading to the creation of new services such as automatic beer pouring or autonomous purchasing at concession stands, enhancing the overall fan experience:
“When you have a concert like Taylor Swift, which, unlike football, is mostly female. So now we convert a lot of the bathrooms from men to women. So probably 75% of the bathrooms are for women during a Taylor Swift concert, and just knowing where the lines are or was really helpful for fans. Having, Wi-Fi and having digital offerings really allows you to adapt from event to event.” –Fred Kirsch, Publisher and VP of Content, Kraft Sports Group
