Field notes
The author says the sample spans 120 live games across four sports, with six visits developed into case studies. A shared eight-part rubric covers entry, ticketing, concessions, entertainment, sponsorship, technology, crowd atmosphere, and operations; the author marks categories N/A rather than guessing. The Gampel write-up connects a first-3,500-fans towel giveaway with early arrival, then proposes mobile ordering and roaming carts to address halftime bottlenecks.
