Three new members have joined football and rugby venue marketing consortium Stadium Experience. Notts County FC, West Bromwich Albion FC and Wolverhampton Wanderers FC bring the total membership to over 55 venues across the UK & Ireland.
Twelve clubs have joined the not-for-profit marketing collaboration in 2017, including Arsenal FC, Croke Park, Manchester United FC and Nottingham Forest FC.
Stadium Experience’s stated aim is to share best practice and promote stadia as unique venues for meetings, conferences and events.
New member Notts County, the world’s oldest football league club, can host up to 300 delegates theatre-style and 200 cabaret in its newly refurbished conference suites and day rates start from just £25.00 + VAT per person.
Fellow Midlands club WBA’s Hawthorns stadium boasts recently refurbished facilities and 300 complimentary car parking spaces. The venue is also served by its own mainline train and metro station.
Wolves’ Molineux Stadium, meanwhile, is able to accommodate conferences for up to 500 delegates.
Stadium Experience was established in 2002 focusing for football venues, and evolved in 2013 to welcome rugby stadium venues too.
Ben Biffen, business development manager at Wolverhampton Wanderers Football Club, said: “We are excited to be joining Stadium Experience. There are many benefits of being part of an industry leading organisation commercially, benchmarking and from information sharing of best practice.”
Collette Salmon, sales manager at Liverpool Football Club, and voluntary chair of Stadium Experience, said: “We’re thrilled to welcome all of our new members this year. 2017 marks 15 years since the association very first started, and to see it grow by a quarter in the last 10 months is phenomenal growth. This really shows how the clubs highly value the sharing of best practice, networking opportunities, promotional activities, as well as recognising the best in the industry at our annual awards.”
