Embedded Fan

Travis Smith observes real games as a fake fan—to understand behavior in context and seek improvements for the next one. You get a detailed report 24 hours later.

Data Collected

To blend in with the crowd, several data points will be collected via cell phone with photos and a note-taking app. The full scope of the project will be decided in the initial meeting, but areas of attention will include:

  • Traffic Flow (In & Out)
  • Parking & Tailgating Experience
  • Security and Ticketing
  • Concession Quality, Service, Stopwatch Speed
  • Cleanliness
  • Crowd Management/Behavior
  • Marketing and In-Game Presentation Feedback (observe fans reactions)
  • Website and App Reliability
  • In-Game Fan Feedback

Overnight Report

Immediately after the game, Travis will begin working on and turning in a final report to help the client reflect by the next morning.
