Game On: Your Winning Playbook for Sports Event Production

At PM1, we know that great sports events aren’t just about the final score, they’re about the full fan experience. Whether you’re building a tailgate village, illuminating an arena, or running sound for thousands of fans, execution is everything. Behind every memorable sports moment is a rock-solid event production plan and seamless execution

That’s why we’ve compiled a Sports Event Production Checklist that’ll help you run up the score, on logistics, not just the field.

Production Strategy: Don’t Skip the Huddle

Before the crowd shows up and the action begins, it all starts with pre-production planning. This sports event checklist helps you:

• Identify venue-specific challenges (stadium size, field access, indoor vs. outdoor)
  
  
• Pinpoint power, rigging, and technical requirements
  
  
• Lock in crew schedules and load-in timelines
  
  
• Confirm gear and backup systems

Equipment: Bring the A-Team

Every event is different, but from high school fields to pro stadiums, these items are always important:

• Staging platforms and camera risers for optimal sightlines and media angles
  
  
• LED video walls for sponsor content, replays, and crowd engagement
  
  
• Broadcast-quality lighting for TV and streaming
  
  
• Wireless comms to keep your crew connected across the venue

Need gear fast? Our warehouses, located across North America, are stocked and standing by.

Audio & Visual: Make It Loud, Make It Clear

You can’t hype a crowd with unclear sound or underwhelming visuals. Our checklist covers:

• Strategic speaker placement for clear, even sound
  
  
• Mapped microphone and wireless frequencies to prevent interference
  
  
• Jumbotron feeds and live-stream integration for a full-scope experience
  
  

Our team will walk the field with you to map the best setup for your event footprint.

Logistics & Crew: Don’t Get Benched by a Bottleneck

Coordination is key, especially when timelines are tight. We make sure you check:

• Loading dock access and parking
  
  
• Security and credentialing
  
  
• Run-of-show programming
  
  
• Emergency and weather contingencies

We also know you need a reliable event production team who show up on time and know the game. Our PM1 crew, from account managers to production assistants, has you covered.
