As England prepare for a huge World Cup semi-final against Argentina in Atlanta this week, take a closer look at the engineering behind the stadiums and venues that create unforgettable experiences for fans and audiences back home in England. From cutting-edge sports infrastructure to bridges, concourses, and entertainment venues, Buro Happold’s work helps create places where supporters can feel the energy, atmosphere, and sense of community that makes these moments feel unforgettable. In this video, Rob Amphlett, Partner and Global Sports & Entertainment Sector Lead at Buro Happold, reflects on how we have been at the forefront of engineering design on some of the UK’s most iconic and innovative venues for over 25 years. From state-of-the-art stadiums that host thrilling sporting events to cutting-edge entertainment complexes that bring joy to millions, our work has helped shape unforgettable experiences for fans and audiences alike. Sports and entertainment #infrastructure demands cutting-edge, thoughtful engineering design, especially when site boundaries are highly constrained. Football clubs, for example, face the challenge of improving facilities and creating additional space during redevelopment. How can they extend their footprint over constraints such as roads, railways and other permanent features? How do they create a greater sense of community? And how can they increase space for retail areas, ensure safe access for fans and pedestrians, and enhance the overall fan experience?
