?? Our marketing manager recently had the privilege of visiting Rome, and her tour around the Colosseum left us with profound insights about the evolving nature of entertainment venues and the art of creating meaningful social spaces. The Colosseum is often celebrated for its historical significance as a gladiatorial arena and a stage for grand spectacles. What truly fascinating was that the Colosseum was not just a stadium based on historical records; it was one of ancient Roman’s #thrivingcommunities complete with trendy coffee shops to grab lunch at, socialize, and savor the atmosphere. ?? It was a tradeshow of its era, a #corporatehospitality hub where individuals networked, traded, and built connections. ???????? Doubled as a mall, it offers an array of goods and experiences for visitors to indulge in, from mementos of their visit to exotic foods. Surprisingly, it also featured serene gardens where fans could escape the crowd and allow themselves or their companions immerse in contemplative solitude before returning to cheer the game with their loved ones- if they choose to. ????♀?The ancient Romans often just came to the Colosseum to get under the shade and cool down during some scorching hot summer when no bloody games were on! From digital point of view, stadiums can adapt to the evolving online needs by providing spaces that foster both in-person and digital interactions. ?? This could involve both ensuring reliable connectivity for fans to instantly share moments with online communities, and offering interactive, fun #ai experiences inclusive to all patrons to make memories. ?? This historical perspective on the Colosseum serves as a timeless testament that reminds us to not regard stadiums as mere structures but vibrant hubs where people come together to celebrate their passions, connect with others, and embrace the multilayered landscape of social interaction - so they become #communityassets that #taxpayers truly love and are proud of. ?? #makestadiumsgreatagain #foodandbeverage #stadiumdesign #foodconsultant
