The logistics of major sporting events

Sporting events run the gamut whether they're football, American

or international, baseball, basketball, auto racing, hockey, the
Olympics or something else. But major sporting events all share a
need for logistics planning to get participants, equipment and fans
to and from the facilities smoothly.
What are logistics in sports?
Sports logistics management involves planning, executing and
managing all those procedures that ensure the event organizers,
the sports league or governing body, participants and spectators
needs are met.
In other words, it means making the event happen seamlessly and
producing a product that anyone involved can be proud of and
happy with.
After all the athletes on the field, pitch, court, track or somewhere
else need to worry about preparing themselves to perform at their
best, not worry about whether their gear has arrived, they'll have
drinks to quench their thirst or physical goals to shoot for.
What are the five C's of event management?
Well not every one of these C’s necessarily applies to sporting
events that are set on the calendar, event management clearly
crosses over with sports logistics. The five C's of event
management are:
Concept, define the particulars of the event the what, when, why,
and where.
Coordination, setting budgets, ensuring venue availability,
producing swag, ordering supplies, booking travel and developing
contingencies.
Control, this is basically managing timelines and budget to ensure
everything is going as planned and stepping in where needed to
solve problems in the lead-up.
Culmination, this is event day managing everything that comes up
and all the stakeholders involved to ensure a smooth experience
for participants, crowd control, etc.
Closeout, this stage is breaking down setups, ensuring the venue
is left in good shape, and then after action, evaluating how it went,
gaining feedback, closing contracts and more.
The logistics of sports apparel. Planning sports event apparel may
involve multiple layers, for instance, simple branded participant
agnostic clothing, hats and other items can be manufactured and
shipped well in advance.
But in the case of post season events in which participants aren't
known until a couple of weeks or less ahead of time, shippers
must plan out their paths to get items to the big game location
and retailers in short order, then wait for game or match results.
In the case of the super bowl, for example, clothing makers stage
blanks with printers at the locations of potential participating
teams as well as the super bowl location. Once the game results
are in, the printers located in the winning team's region kick into
high gear while the losing city's printers are excused.
Other factors to consider: as mentioned earlier sporting events
have a long list of requirements so logistics pros must also
consider the safety of participants and the crowd, security and
medical personnel on hand.
Equipment again the events can't occur without the proper
equipment so whether it's transporting race cars to the venue on
time or getting uniforms into the locker room these must occur for
the event to take place.
Transportation, this is a major catch-all but while it's obvious
transportation for participants to get to the venue is vital,
transportation for fans is key to plan as well as it can tax local
infrastructure with airports and public transit especially affected.
And of course, transportation is necessary to get the
aforementioned equipment apparel and refreshments to the venue
as well.
