About

Select Stadium Stories looks at stadiums through the experience of moving around them: arriving, finding a route, reaching a seat and using the spaces in between. It is for curious readers who want to notice how a ground works as a place, not only as a setting for sport.

What we look at

Our subjects include entrances, signs, concourses, circulation and shared spaces. We focus on how these parts relate to one another and what a visitor might notice while moving through a venue. A turn, a sightline or a pause can tell a story as clearly as a grand roof.

Who it is for

The publication is for readers interested in stadium design and the experience of attending an event, whether they are familiar with grounds or simply curious about how public places guide people. You do not need architectural training to follow along; clear language and concrete examples come first.

How we approach it

We separate observation from interpretation and explain the terms we use. Our articles favour useful ways of looking at places over sweeping claims about what every visitor wants. When a detail depends on a particular venue or context, we say so rather than presenting it as a universal rule.
