Forty years ago, a group of architects and designers came together in a common cause — to design the places where people love to be together. Those visionaries built up the practice to become Populous in 2009, and since then the thousands of structures, venues and events we’ve designed have helped shape the way the world engages with sports and entertainment.
If you’ve attended a game, concert or any major ticketed event in those four decades — right through to a Winter or Summer Olympic and Paralympic Games — it’s likely you have experienced Populous’ influence. Our innovative, cutting-edge design has rippled throughout the industry, impacting sports and entertainment at every level. Populous’ fingerprints can be seen in thousands of communities around the globe, at every event, every concert, every field, every court, every rink and in every seating bowl and fan zone. You don’t have to be there in person to see that influence — billions of virtual attendees have viewed our projects in broadcasts and online, vicariously participating in global fandoms that are anchored to the spaces we create to bring people together.
