New Benito Villamarín Stadium enters first construction phase
The first phase of construction of the new Benito Villamarín Stadium has begun now that all bureaucratic and administrative procedures have been duly completed.
Real Betis awarded ACCIONA the contract for these initial works, which will begin this April and include excavation and the construction of the soil retention system using diaphragm walls to allow for the construction of the underground levels.
In parallel with these works, the collaborative process will continue, with an action plan through which both parties will work together to enhance the design of the new stadium and optimize timelines and costs.
In the second phase, the actual construction work resulting from the aforementioned collaborative process will begin. This includes the construction of the new Preferencia stand, improvements to the existing stands (North, South, and End), the development of the adjacent commercial building, underground parking beneath the Preferencia stand and the adjacent building itself, as well as the construction of the roof and the vertical facade for the entire stadium.
The project for the new Benito Villamarín Stadium began last summer with the dismantling of the structures and installations of the Preferencia stand, the demolition of its three stands and the cantilevered staircase, followed by the sorting and removal of waste. This process took place during the last months of 2025 and was carried out by the company Erri Berri.
The works will be carried out in an urban environment with regularly used roads, so the work plan will take into account traffic conditions and noise management during construction in order to generate the least possible impact on the Heliópolis neighbourhood.
With this comprehensive renovation, Real Betis aims to transform the Benito Villamarín Stadium into a landmark of the city of Seville with a new iconic building and, above all, improve the experience and comfort of fans with renovated access points and services, steeper stands, a new roof, modern technology, and spacious food and beverage areas.
ACCIONA AND THE RAFAEL GORDILLO SPORTS COMPLEX.
Real Betis have already worked with ACCIONA in the past on the construction of the new Rafael Gordillo Sports Complex, a facility that has boosted the development of the club's youth academy in recent years.
In addition to the various playing fields, sports areas, and the multifunctional building housing offices, a gym, and medical services, ACCIONA carried out work on the roads adjacent to the complex, including urban development projects in the area.
Furthermore, in accordance with Real Betis' environmental policy and its Forever Green program, a bioclimatic design was implemented, incorporating natural ventilation, efficient consumption reduction systems, water reuse for irrigation, the use of renewable energy, landscape integration, and low maintenance?a pioneering commitment to sustainability.

Bengals' Paycor Stadium renovation progresses
Paycor Stadium never shut down after last season's finale as a multi-year facelift continues its plan to touch every area of the Cincinnati riverfront anchor.
John Pope, the stadium's director of capital projects, has shepherded as many as 300 workers through the building this offseason as the club expands and renovates both club lounges, as well as every suite, while modernizing each restroom and upgrading concessions throughout the building.
Also on tap for Opening Day 2026 are added escalators and staircases to and from the club lounges, as well as a reconfigured and modernized pro shop. Navigating Paycor Stadium is also enhanced with about 1,600 new larger and more accessible signs to help guide fans.
The renovations, which include the control room powering audio and visual mechanisms throughout the stadium, are scheduled to spill into next offseason and yield, among other things, new video boards in future seasons. Also among the coming attractions are new escalators and stairs that vastly improve access to all levels of the building.
The Bengals' sprawling $120 million project, along with Hamilton County's $350 million, touches up the superstructure that opened 26 years ago, and club officials believe the rehab is showing the adaptability of the original design.
For instance, both club seating areas are able to expand by roughly 1,000 seats on each side. And, the expanded area to the south allows the addition of a new bar in each club lounge.
"We are fortunate to have a great foundation to work from," says Duane Haring, the team's director of stadium and event operations. "Paycor Stadium is well positioned for this modernisation effort where we will marry the timeless beauty of the stadium's architecture with a first-in-class fan experience now and into the future."
Before the end of the season, all 68 restrooms are set to have updated lighting, walls, flooring and ceilings. Each existing suite is undergoing renovation for more space that includes an increased lounge area, full-sized refrigerators, new countertops, furniture and seating. Every existing suite has always had a restroom, not a given in today's new stadiums, and they'll also be modernized. Plus, there has been enough space to add five more suites, upping the count to 137.
Both club lounges are getting the same treatment of expansion and updates. The staircase in the middle of each lounge is gone, freeing up more floor space. New and more furniture, increased food and beverage destinations, and recapturing the picturesque views along the massive club windows are among the major changes. Perhaps the most eye-catching alteration is floor-to-ceiling columns slashed by a Bengals' stripe of metallic metal set against a solid surface.
"These renovations would not be possible without our long-standing relationship with Hamilton County," Haring says, "and their commitment to ensuring Paycor Stadium remains a first-class NFL facility for years to come."
There are now four bars in each lounge instead of two, and they've been re-located to allow more access to the views of downtown and the river.
Speed of service, increasing points of sale and reducing time spent in line inspire renovations to the 50-yard-line concessions in each canopy. Fans now enjoy faster trips for food and drink at the new Go Route featuring grab-and-go items and self-checkout kiosks.
The emphasis on speed of service continues into the new-look pro shop with new and more self-checkout kiosks at the back of the store. A reconfigured floor plan paves the way for more variety and inventory, particularly for jerseys and headwear. That space is also getting overhauled with a new floor, new designs on the walls, and revamped women's and children's sections.
PSV And Paladin Enter Into a Three-Year Partnership
PSV has partnered with Paladin EnviroTech (“Paladin”), a technology-lifecycle partner helping organizations recycle securely, compliantly, and without losing control of data or valuable materials, in a collaboration that reflects the growing importance of circular IT solutions within elite sport and business. Paladin specializes in IT Asset Disposition (ITAD): the secure, certified, and environmentally responsible processing of decommissioned IT equipment, including data destruction, reuse, and recycling, in full compliance with applicable regulations, including GDPR.
As part of the partnership, Paladin will also have a prominent on-site presence at Philips Stadium through the Paladin Business Lounge, located on the fourth floor. As the naming partner of this space, Paladin will be at the heart of PSV’s extensive business network and the wider Brainport Eindhoven community, with the lounge serving as a central hub for connection, collaboration, and innovation.
Expanding Reach Through PSV’s Business Ecosystem
The collaboration will support Paladin in its aims to increase its brand awareness within PSV’s business network, and Eindhoven’s technology corridor. The partnership comes as Paladin builds on an already strong presence in the Netherlands through its January acquisition of Helmond-based R&L Recycling, and will strengthen its reputation as a reliable partner for organisations seeking to dispose of their IT equipment safely, securely and sustainably.
“We see Paladin as a partner that aligns well with the club’s ambitions in the areas of innovation and corporate social responsibility,” says Commercial Director Frans Janssen. “Paladin is ambitious and forward-looking—values that fit us perfectly.”
“With this partnership, Paladin is committed to further expanding in Europe and strengthening its presence in the Brainport Eindhoven region,” says Brian Diesselhorst, CEO of Paladin EnviroTech. “PSV offers our organisation the perfect platform to connect with like-minded companies in what many consider to be the most important high-tech region in the Netherlands.”
San Francisco 49ers launch official app with PwC
The San Francisco 49ers with support from PwC, the team’s Official Digital Consulting Partner, have launched the new 49ers App to members of the Faithful worldwide. Developed collaboratively by the two organisations, the app is a unique, one-of-one experience that combines PwC’s deep technological expertise with the 49ers legendary brand to create a personalised and customisable interface for fans.
“Providing the Faithful with an innovative fan experience, no matter where they are located around the world, is one of our top priorities as an organization. Our new 49ers App is meant to take that experience to the next level,” said Stephanie Rogers, 49ers Chief Marketing Officer. “As we celebrate our 80th anniversary, we are thrilled to unveil a platform that will more closely connect our fans to each other and the team. Today is an exciting day for us and we look forward to unveiling new features that will be built into this platform with our fans’ feedback.”
Industry-leading technology is ingrained in the 49ers App at every level, extending the franchise’s history of innovation over the past 80 years. With support from PwC, the 49ers are proud to launch Sourdough Sam AI, a generative AI chatbot designed to transform the digital and physical fan experience. Sourdough Sam AI will help fans learn team news and stats, enjoy gamedays at Levi’s® Stadium, and enhance their fandom. For example, it can tell users about their favorite players, help them navigate to the nearest stadium restroom, and even follow live games via a first-of-its-kind, real-time gamecast display.
“Being a sports fan in 2026 is about personalization and there is an expectation for teams to create a more personal, more digital, and more connected experience and this app is a powerful example of how technology can deepen those connections at scale,” said Tyson Cornell, PwC US Advisory Leader. “By bringing PwC’s deep data, design, and generative AI expertise with the historic 49ers brand, we were able to create an experience that meets fans where they are—whether at Levi’s® Stadium or anywhere in the world. As the Official Digital Consulting Partner of the San Francisco 49ers, we look forward to continuing to innovate and deliver together in the service of this incredible franchise and its fans.”
Designed to be a one-stop destination for all 49ers information, the new app customizes the user experience to each individual fan. From the moment they enter the app, fans are encouraged to personalize their profile and select their favorite players. These choices, which can be adjusted at any time, help the app tailor news and content feeds that are most relevant to each user’s interests.
If fans choose to enable location services, the app helps members of the Faithful connect with each other by providing information on 49ers fan chapters, meet-ups, and other events in their area. Collectible and shareable virtual “badges” are also awarded to fans who use specific features, complete tasks, and consistently use the app.
All Levi’s® Stadium gameday technology integrations from the previous version of the 49ers App are still available, including mobile ticketing, parking, payment, and concessions redemption. Moving forward, as the Faithful begin to use the app, the 49ers will continue to solicit their feedback as the app improves and evolves. The goal is for the 49ers App to serve as an important tool as the team continues innovating and transforming Levi’s® Stadium into an Intelligent Stadium.
“Based in Silicon Valley, we feel a deep responsibility to innovate and use technology to enhance our organization, stadium, and fan experience,” said Costa Kladianos, 49ers EVP & Head of Technology. “Creating a new digital platform that is accessible to our fans around the world is something we’ve been working on for quite some time. PwC has played a crucial role in developing the new 49ers App and we are fortunate to have them on our team. We look forward to collectively raising the bar for global sports brands and reimagining how technology can transform fandom.”
With the 49ers international growth, headlined by upcoming games in Mexico and Australia, the 49ers App is also now available in Spanish for the first time.
ADI delivers host of new digital stadium enhancements at Turf Moor
There’s an all new player arrival experience at Turf Moor Stadium thanks to the latest upgrades from digital stadium specialists ADI.
Burnley FC have again invested in their matchday experience with a host of digital upgrades to Turf Moor Stadium. Delivered by the club’s stadium digital partner ADI, the upgrades include two new dynamic, immersive tunnels as well as an additional corner screen above the players’ entrance tunnel.
Turf Moor Stadium has seen significant digital modernisation over the last 3 years, with multiple screens, signs and ribbons creating a large co-ordinated platform within and around Turf Moor Stadium. The latest updates focus on adding value and theatre to the players’ arrival and are focused in three main areas:
- A new players’ arrival tunnel in the North-East corner of the stadium, welcoming players as they arrive at the stadium
- A new players’ entrance tunnel in the South-West corner, where players will enter the pitch prior to kick-off
- A new immersive corner screen above the players’ entrance tunnel
- New LED gantries to manage crowds as they arrive and leave the matchday
Matchday glow-up
The new Heroes Tunnel adds to the theatre of the players arrival as they disembark from the team coach and head into the stadium, cheered on by junior fans lining the “Claret Carpet”.
The players’ arrival on pitch for match kick-off has also changed this season, moving from the North-West corner of the Stadium to the South-West corner. Following extensive consultation with the Club, ADI have created a completely new entrance tunnel – designing and building a steel-framed structure, dressed internally with LED panels to create a completely immersive digital tunnel.
As the players leave the tunnel and emerge onto the pitch, a new corner screen sits above the tunnel entrance between the two stands.
Finally, outside of the stadium bowl, ADI have installed two new double-sided LED gantries which are used to manage the flow of away fans as they approach and leave the stadium at the start and end of the match.
As with all of the LED technology within the stadium, the new screens and signage utilise ADI’s own proprietary MT LED modules. The external signage uses 6mm MT outdoor product, whilst the internal tunnels are from ADI’s fine pitch MTi range with a 2.5mm pixel pitch.
ADI continue to act as a full platform partner – as well as installing and operating new and existing screens and signage, ADI create and deliver content across every pixel. This ensures consistency of creative and also co-ordination of delivery to create a truly immersive experience within the stadium bowl.
Full turn-key solution
The club have benefited from ADI’s turnkey solution approach, with ADI taking ownership of every stage of the project delivery. This includes the design, construction and delivery of all structures including the brand-new player tunnel.
This saw the erection of a temporary structure for the first few matches of the season, whilst a completely new steel framework was built around this.
Once this was completed, the temporary tunnel was removed, allowing ADI’s installation team to install the 800+ of fine pitch LED panels across the walls and ceiling.
Co-ordinated platform
The new screens will merge seamlessly with the existing broader stadium platform, explains ADI CEO Geraint Williams: “Turf Moor is already one of UK football’s most digitally advanced venues, with over 1,000m2 of ADI installed screens and signage; the new elements will join onto this platform.
“As stadiums take on increasing levels of digital infrastructure, there is the danger that they become operationally fragmented. Every pixel of Burnley’s digital stadium platform is operated by a single club partner ensuring content can be easily controlled and co-ordinated.”
It's not just the installation and control that ADI manage either. Their matchday services team provide a full content creation service, working in close partnership with the club to create a fantastic fan experience.
Like every other screen within the stadium, the new screens are Powered by Live Venue, ADI’s broadcast fibre network that connects Turf Moor (and many other stadiums) to ADI. This allows ADI’s matchday teams to operate, manage and co-ordinate every second of the matchday experience live from galleries at their Lancashire-based HQ.
“We’re considering every element of the fan journey – looking at ways we can uplift experience and increase enjoyment. Burnley have a fantastic and loyal fanbase, but the club are keen to invest in the next generation of fans and their investment in the content experience reflects that. The new elements are part of getting fans closer to the players – their heroes – but it’s also about providing a platform for the players to feed off the fans and the stadium atmosphere.”
Como 1907 and EA SPORTS FC launch new partnership
Como 1907 and EA SPORTS FC have announced a new partnership facilitated by European Football Clubs.
Uniting football, video games, and culture, the collaboration will create new ways for supporters to experience Como 1907 through EA SPORTS FC. The partnership also coincides with the rapid growth of Como Gaming Club, a new platform launched earlier this season designed to connect fans through content, community, and digital entertainment.

This partnership with EA SPORTS FC gives us a powerful way to meet supporters where they already are, while creating new stories, experiences, and touchpoints around the club. It also helped inspire Como Gaming Club, which is about building a community shaped by the way modern fans live football.”
James Taylor, Director of Football Partnerships at EA SPORTS FC, said: "We are delighted to work with Como 1907, a club bringing fresh energy and a clear sense of identity to the game. Together with European Football Clubs, this partnership reflects the growing role video games play in fan culture and offers new opportunities for supporters to engage with Como 1907 through EA SPORTS FC".
The partnership adds to Como 1907's growing presence at the intersection of football, entertainment, and culture, as the club continues to build new ways for fans to connect with its world.
Sacramento Republic names General Contractor for Stadium
Sacramento Republic FC have announced the selection of Moorefield Construction as General Contractor for the Club’s new downtown Sacramento stadium — a defining step forward in delivering the region’s largest professional sports and entertainment venue.
Moorefield Construction will oversee the project’s workforce, manage subcontractors, and direct the day-to-day building of the stadium that will rise as a new civic landmark and anchor the transformation of Sacramento’s downtown Railyards. For nearly 70 years, Moorefield Construction has been one of the premier hospitality and destination, immersive entertainment builders along the West Coast.
“Moorefield’s decades of experience delivering complex hospitality and destination entertainment projects, as well as regional sports projects give us confidence in their ability to execute at this scale,” said Art Zargaryan, Pegasus Development CEO. “What is being built at the Railyards is a civic landmark, and Moorefield has the expertise and the Sacramento roots to bring that vision to life.”
“We have spent nearly 70 years earning the trust of the communities and clients we build for, and this project is the most significant expression of that commitment yet,” said Executive Vice President Larry Moorefield of Moorefield Construction. “We are proud to stand alongside Sacramento Republic FC, Wilton Rancheria, and the entire project team in delivering something this region has never seen. Sacramento deserves this — and we will build it right.”
The company has been a key part in several of the region’s premier sports and entertainment builds. Moorefield Construction served as construction manager for the Athletics’ renovation projects – including a new clubhouse, stadium upgrades, and a broadcast center – that helped bring Major League Baseball to Sacramento. Their 2013 renovation of Hughes Stadium at Sacramento City College connected them directly to Republic FC’s earliest days, when thousands of fans first rallied around their club in 2014. Beyond the region, Moorefield was responsible for the successful delivery of renovations to the historic TCL Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles, gaming and hospitality projects across California, and immersive entertainment experiences like Universal Horror Unleashed – a project Moorefield Construction completed with Pegasus Development.
The selection builds on the growing momentum surrounding the project. Earlier this year, the Club announced it will now construct the largest outdoor, professional sports and entertainment facility in the region, set to open in 2028. The project team also includes Pegasus Development serving as the Owner’s Representative, MANICA and House & Robertson Architects serving as the lead design team and architect of record. Lund Construction has already begun procurement and plans to begin infrastructure work in the coming weeks.
Tennessee Titans reveal the Nissan 1960 Club
As the new Nissan Stadium nears its February 2027 completion date, the Tennessee Titans and Nissan officially introduce and share renderings of one of its premium clubs – the Nissan 1960 Club. Named for the year Bud Adams founded the franchise and Nissan Motor Corporation was established in the United States, the club features nods to the storied history of both organizations.
“The Nissan 1960 Club is an expansion of the unforgettable gameday experience that the Titans and Nissan have provided to fans since our partnership began in 2015,” said Stephanie Atkins, Titans Vice President of Client Services and Hospitality. “The space will not only highlight our shared history but also give Titans fans one of the most priceless experiences throughout professional sports.”
The sold-out club will accommodate up to 550 fans and feature an all-inclusive food and beverage experience, one of the most premium throughout the new stadium. Ticket holders will enjoy a private entrance, custom seating, and a speakeasy aesthetic, designed by Elevate Creative. The experience is designed to feel cohesive and grounded, drawing from shared themes of legacy, ambition, and evolution, showcasing the steady tradition of Nissan and the Titans.
Located at field level along the home sideline, the premium space gives ticket holders the chance to see players take the field for pregame warmups, as well as an on-field viewing experience for all four quarters of Titans home games. The Club logo was inspired by Nissan’s 1960 wordmark and will be displayed prominently throughout the space. Artifacts from both organizations also will be on display.
“The Nissan 1960 Club is where our legacy shows up loud and clear,” said Allyson Witherspoon, chief marketing officer, Nissan U.S. “It celebrates more than 65 years of innovation, performance and passion, and brings it to life in a way that feels unmistakably Nissan. With our U.S. headquarters here in the Nashville area, this partnership with the Titans is personal. It’s about pride, community and creating unforgettable moments for our employees, our customers and fans in Tennessee and everywhere the game is watched.”
The Nissan 1960 Club is an expansion of Nissan’s presence throughout the building after being announced as the exclusive naming rights partner of the new stadium in 2023. The Club will be available for all Titans home games, concerts, and other events at the new Nissan Stadium.
NHL Innovation Lab opens at Prudential Center
The National Hockey League (NHL), in partnership with Verizon and the New Jersey Devils, today announced the opening of the NHL Innovation Lab powered by Verizon, a simulated arena environment that will help the League office and its technology partners create, develop and enhance tools for use by venue and hockey operations staff, as well as game officials, coaches and players.
Located inside Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, the NHL Innovation Lab represents the next phase of the League’s technology strategy and builds on its long-standing relationship with Verizon, the Official 5G Partner of the NHL. The NHL Innovation Lab will serve as a centralized space to explore practical applications of emerging technologies that support on-ice performance, game operations and fan engagement. In parallel with the development and build-out of the NHL Innovation Lab, the League will test several new initiatives in and around the Prudential Center’s adjacent practice rink – the RWJBarnabas Health Hockey House.
“We’re incredibly proud to continue investing in innovation that strengthens our game and supports its long-term growth,” said Dave Lehanski, NHL Executive Vice President, Business Development and Innovation. “The NHL Innovation Lab powered by Verizon is an important next chapter in our technology and innovation journey. We continue to be committed to leveraging new and emerging technology to benefit every aspect of our game, and the NHL Innovation Lab gives us the ability to test, validate and refine new technology on the ice, in real game environments, all year round right in our own backyard.”
"This innovation lab is the next phase of our long-standing partnership with the NHL, allowing us to push the boundaries of what's possible on the ice, in the arena, and for the fans,” said Kyle Malady, CEO, Verizon Business. “By deploying Verizon’s Private 5G Wireless Network and Secure Cloud Interconnect (SCI) solutions, we are providing a dedicated, high-speed, and secure technology foundation for the NHL to incubate and validate next-generation solutions. We are proud to serve as the technological partner that helps the NHL strengthen its game."
The deployment of Verizon’s Private 5G Wireless Network will provide the NHL Innovation Lab with a dedicated, high speed and secure wireless infrastructure designed to enhance both game day operations and the overall fan experience. Purpose built by Verizon, the private network will enable the League to implement innovative solutions, including the enhancement of live coach to player video access on iPads for faster and secure analysis from the bench.
The network will also serve as a scalable platform for future innovation, with the potential to support additional technology integrations, including secure wireless connectivity to support real-time alerts in the NHL Watch Comms app on Apple Watches worn by NHL Officials. In addition, the network provides a strong and flexible foundation for expanded media capture workflows. The Verizon private network will also function as a secure “express lane” for critical data, including near real-time statistics and analytics, helping deliver consistent performance.
The NHL Innovation Lab will also take advantage of Verizon’s Secure Cloud Interconnect (SCI) solution which provides a private, dedicated, high‑speed and secure cloud networking infrastructure, designed to support reliable connectivity to critical applications and strengthen both game‑day operations and the overall fan experience. The increased bandwidth and reduced latency will allow the NHL to test and validate next-generation technologies, including advanced media workflows developed with Sony technology to capture and utilize 4K and 8K content at scale.
The NHL Innovation Lab will feature a Sony Crystal LED direct view display measuring 144” x 81” with an 2880px x 1620px resolution, and BRAVIA XR 75” Class Z9K 8K HDR Mini LED TV, with Sony Hawk-Eye installed throughout the practice rink, complementing the standard Sony broadcast and production equipment already deployed in the arena.

The NHL Innovation Lab underscores the NHL’s commitment to innovation that delivers practical, scalable solutions for the game today while preparing for tomorrow.
New Nissan Stadium 75% completed as work continues
As March came to a close, the new Nissan Stadium officially reached its 75% completion mark. It gets closer to welcoming fans each day – in fact, 34 of the fan entry doors have been installed with only 37 remaining.
The site continues to average 2,000 workers a day on all levels and elevations of the building. Daktronics crews are part of that count as they work toward completing the sub-framing system for the LED boards, an integral part of the new stadium’s fan experience.
The massive project of getting the building ready for enclosure is firmly in progress! The top and bottom cables of the ETFE roofing system are laid out and have entered the next phase of completion as they start to be connected to the perimeter compression ring on the roof. They will slowly be lifted by hydraulic lifts around the building over a couple of months, beginning in April.
Only 45 out of the 1,185 panels are left to be installed until the curtain wall glass cladding system reaches final completion. The windows that make up the glass wall will ensure fans have great views of the city, even in an enclosed stadium. The exterior terraces are also coming together nicely! The first of the bi-fold doors that can open to create an indoor/outdoor experience are just about ready to go into place.
The masonry façade along the exterior base of the building is also making progress, with the west elevation halfway done and work started on the north elevation. The metal panel cladding along the outside of the building reached 50% completion, with work starting soon on the west elevation. The stone panel cladding, which will cover up the elevator and stair cores of the stadium got started in March with 2,400 square feet already installed.
On the inside of the stadium, the concrete masonry units — standardized, precast rectangular blocks — are close to being finalized with only 1,600 square feet of the total 52,000 square feet left to go. Ceramic tiling has also started to go up in restrooms on the event, plaza, and main concourse levels of the stadium. Once the ceramic tiling goes up, crews will be able to move forward with installation of Sloan plumbing fixtures throughout stadium restrooms.
For the foodies – the food production areas continue to get ready for operation. The focus has been on cooking hoods and walk-in coolers, with 40 of the 108 coolers installed throughout the stadium.
As fans pile into the current Nissan Stadium for concerts and events this spring, they will only have to look less than 100 feet away to see the progress that is being made on the new Nissan Stadium.
