The exhibition will remain open throughout December in London, New York, and Brisbane, featuring a diverse range of events. The selected images include Wembley Stadium, the Emirates, Principality Stadium, Accor Stadium, Oriole Park, Yankee Stadium, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, ICC Sydney, Narendra Modi Stadium, Kai Tak Sports Park, O2 Arena, and the Sphere, as well as moments from major events such as the Super Bowl, FIFA World Cup matches, and the NHL Winter Classic.
“This collection provides a snapshot of evolving innovation in the way we enjoy sport, entertainment and live events, capturing the designs of the buildings themselves and the emotions of the fans who enjoy them. And whatever the next 40 years of innovation brings, with a heightened focus on a sustainable and more digitally connected future, that emotional connection and the idea of drawing people together will remain fundamental to communities throughout the world,” said Earl Santee, Global Chair and a founder of Populous.
The exhibitions held in London, New York, and Brisbane were set up in a kind of relay and opened for a limited period. That’s why Populous has created a virtual gallery to allow everyone to take a virtual tour, not only of the images but also of the stories related to various venues. Here it is.
