As part of a new 1500 capacity fan zone area adjacent to the Bet365 Stadium, OMM was asked to design and deliver a large stage, LED screen, lighting, and sound to enhance the pre & post-match experience.

Outcome

Since 2011, OMM has been the preferred Smart Stadium partner of the club. We have consulted on & installed full pitch surround LED perimeter (including recent replacement with crowd facing LED), 3 giant LED screens, large format print inside the stadium bowl and, during this entire period, been retained to create content on these digital assets for the club and its partners.

Pre-Production

OMM’s unique 4D process

  1. Define We work closely with all stakeholders to define the full range of objectives for any project.

  2. Develop A comprehensive RFP or tender document is developed and sent out to several manufacturers or companies that may be interested.

  3. Decide We collate all the information returned in the RFP including specification, commercial terms, relevant experience, references, and case studies and present all the RFP returns, with executive summaries, to the club/organisation for appraisal and ultimately, decision making.

  4. Deliver Once the winning candidate has been chosen, OMM advises on and manages the entire process from design through a programme of acceptance testing, delivery, and final installation and sign-off of the project.
