Description
The development of new sports stadiums and facilities can bring regeneration to deprived areas. They hold a special place in the hearts of sports and live music fans. But have some of the new ones lost their spark?
In this edition of Business Daily, Sam Fenwick asks, what gives a stadium its atmosphere and can it be designed in?
Sam speaks to Christopher Lee, whose architecture practice, Populous, has designed 3000 arenas all over the world. He shares his experience of designing iconic grounds like the Yankee Stadium, Wembley Stadium, and Olympic stadiums in Sydney, London and Sochi.
And we hear from BBC World Service listeners, who tell us what makes their favourite sports grounds so special.
