The stadium is no longer defined by its physical boundaries

Pioneering the virtual stadium

For decades, a stadium’s commercial inventory ended at its walls. One board, one message, one audience. Virtual signage changes that, and it’s where the next generation of sports rights begins.

One venue, many audiences

A match might be watched by 30,000 people in the stands and hundreds of thousands more on broadcast and streaming, across different cities, regions and countries. Virtual signage lets the inventory they see be changed, localised and tailored to each of those audiences, all from the same moment of live sport.

• Changed: different partners and campaigns across the same broadcast.
• Localised: messaging that speaks to the market each audience is watching from.
• Monetised differently: new inventory that can be packaged and sold by audience, not just by board.

From LED to rights

This is where the conversation moves beyond screens. When the physical board and the broadcast feed can each carry their own message, the venue becomes a platform, and its inventory becomes a far more flexible sports right.

The technology behind it

SureVision brings this together with its partners. Broadcast Virtual delivers virtual and augmented overlays that extend venue signage into the broadcast. Cortex provides the bespoke software platform at the backbone of SureVision’s technology supply, giving centralised management of LED, IPTV and virtual signage inventory.

What it means for rights holders

More value from the same moments. More ways to say yes to partners. And a stadium whose commercial reach is defined by its audience, not its boundaries.
