How A 3D Virtual Tour Can Make Your Sports Arena A Champion

Most of Canada is still riding the high from last month’s 4 Nations Face-Off! The one-week hockey tournament, presented by the NHL, culminated in a final where Canada defeated the United States 3-2 in overtime. Because of the recent tension between the nations, many Canadian hockey fans regarded the victory as one of the sweetest of all time. The event also brought some attention to Montreal’s Bell Centre and Boston’s TD Garden, where the games took place.

Of course, sports arenas also play host to concerts and other live events. As a result, their owners often turn to innovative technologies to enhance experiences for fans. Needless to say, there are countless sports arenas all over North America. If you’re an owner, adding a 3D Virtual Tour to your website can make some serious waves.

Offer an interactive experience that keeps fans engaged.

Long before your arena’s visitors show up, you can allow them to explore your venue from every angle. Fans can zoom in on seating options, navigate through suites, walk the concourses and even check out locker rooms. This virtual experience brings everyone closer to the action. Your 3D virtual tour can offer an even more dynamic journey with features like 360-degree panoramic views and real-time event information.

How cool would it be to give your site’s visitors the opportunity to explore behind-the-scenes areas? We’re talking about team tunnels, VIP lounges and media zones. A 3D virtual tour of your sports arena will enhance the sense of connection to both the home team and the venue. Fans will no longer just be passive observers. They will become part of the action before the event even begins!

Give fans the ability to virtually “try before they buy”.

A 3D virtual tour can greatly influence ticket sales. This is especially true when it comes to premium seating options. A virtual tour can show potential buyers what they can expect from courtside seats, VIP boxes or hospitality suites. The unique online experience gives them a clear picture of the value they are purchasing.

Imagine a potential customer in another city considering attending a high-profile event at your arena. He or she can easily navigate the seating areas, virtually “sit” in different sections and compare various ticket options. With the help of a 3D tour, potential customers become more likely to make purchases because they feel confident about what they’re getting.

Grow your venue’s revenue generation.

With a 3D virtual tour, potential sponsors can get up-close looks at your venue, its audience and the various spaces available for branding opportunities. Are there high-traffic areas that are great for signage? Does the arena contain a luxury suite that could feature sponsor logos? Your site’s virtual tour offers a detailed view of your space in a way that photos and brochures simply can’t match. This will grow your client base.

A 3D Virtual Tour provides a clear depiction of your place of business and the features contained within it. There are no flashy camera tricks to exaggerate what you have to offer. It is not a Photoshop presentation. Your tour isn’t retouched in the way many online photos are these days. It helps to show the “real” side of your brand. This helps to grow trust from your customer base.
