More Than a Stadium. A Full-On Experience.
Challenge: Mercedes-Benz Stadium needed to deliver a premium fan experience while managing a large, complex sponsorship ecosystem across the venue. The project called for a cohesive way to plan, coordinate and implement dozens of branded activations in a stadium environment with hundreds of points of sale and numerous sponsor touchpoints. At the same time, the venue wanted to improve the overall guest experience by reducing pregame congestion and creating an environment that encouraged fans to arrive earlier, stay longer and engage with the space.

Darden & Company, Holder-Hunt-Russell-Moody, JV, Bob D. Campbell & Co StructuralSolution: Dimensional Innovations was brought in to manage and implement sponsorship activations throughout Mercedes-Benz Stadium. To streamline collaboration and execution, DI created the first online, stadium-wide experiential Partner Portal, giving sponsors visibility into activation progress and a centralized way to stay informed throughout the process. DI’s work spanned 29 total activations and 18 sponsored bars, helping shape a broad range of branded environments across the venue. Key activations included the AT&T Perch, American Family Insurance Fan Village and Home Depot Backyard.
The result was a more connected, immersive stadium experience that supported both fan engagement and sponsor value. According to the case study, the improved environment helped drive earlier arrivals and longer dwell times, which in turn eased ingress and egress pressure and contributed to stronger merchandise performance. The stadium includes 673 points of sale and 24 sponsors with individually designed activation points and branded environments, underscoring the scale of the execution.
