Combined with the “key” element and the elegant, sophisticated serif font, the logo says a lot about the business itself.

The best tourist board logos

Ready to travel? Here are the best tourist board logos.

Tourist boards play a vital role in inspiring travellers to visit their destination, whether they’re telling you about the hottest new festivals and bars, or working with celebrities, writers and influencers to spread the word. In order to stand out and represent their country, city or region, they need an eye-catching logo: something that fits the destination and feels modern. It then gets plastered over all kinds of promotional materials, from pens and memory sticks to t-shirts and posters. 

Sometimes, they firmly fit the trends of their launch period, perhaps having a distinct ‘ iconic 80s logos ’ feel, but other times they remain relevant for decades to come – see New York or Rotterdam for proof.

We’ve picked the best tourist board logos to give you wanderlust; we looked for the best logos that feel custom-made for the destination, do something a bit different, and would look just as good on a keyring as on a billboard, whether they’re made by the best logo designer or not.

01. PROMPERU (Peru)

This South American country is best known for its archaeology: Machu Picchu, the mysterious Nazca lines, the circular Incan terraces of Moray, and the Temple of the Sun in Cusco. That’s why we’re not surprised to see a hand-drawn wordmark that echoes the creativity of Peru, and has been in place since 2011, courtesy of Futurebrand , for use in tourism and trade. The circular pattern on the letter ‘P’ could also make you think of a fossil, or the curve of a clay pot.

So, what else could they have chosen to incorporate? Peru’s food scene is also increasingly popular, with visitors flocking to taste ceviche (fish cooked in lime juice) and Pisco sours (cocktails with egg white), but let’s face it: those wouldn’t really work in a logo, especially if you’re trying to appeal to vegans. We’re glad they stuck to the archaeological theme and kept it simple.

02. Brand Colombia

Remarketing a country that has had political struggles isn’t easy, but Brand Colombia may have cracked it from a design perspective – this major tourism and business campaign launched in 2012, with a logo that mirrors the country’s eclectic mix. Colombian companies Sancho BBDO and Señor López were behind the identity, whilst advertising partners included JWT . 

At the time of the launch, Claudia Hoyos, from Marca País Colombia , said: "Our greatest strength is in our megadiversity… we have many regions, cultures, accents and dialects, many landscapes and different climates."

Get the Creative Bloq Newsletter

Daily design news, reviews, how-tos and more, as picked by the editors.

Therefore, there are different coloured versions of the logo; as Hoyos puts it, "violet represents the variety of flowers we have, especially the orchid, our national symbol," with each region and theme represented by simple geometrical shapes, like a drum for music. Reducing Colombia to 'CO' isn’t just a case of saving space: it shows the ISO country code, recognised all over the world. However, travel industry website Skift didn’t approve, saying the new identity was "all over the place".

03. Turespaña (Spain)

This logo for Turespaña is very much a product of its time, so it doesn’t look as effective today, but we couldn’t resist adding it to the mix – Spain even commissioned artist Joan Miró to design it in 1983. Art tourism is a huge part of Spain’s appeal, with visitors drawn to works by Picasso, Velazquez, Dali and many others, but it was a coup to get Miró on board.

Sadly, Miró was too ill to create a brand new work, so he incorporated elements of other designs to get this result, known as The Sun of Miró, which was revealed to the public in 1984 and has been used ever since. The colourway harks back to the red and yellow of the Spanish flag, while the sun emblem certainly fits the Mediterranean climate. Both the sun and the star were taken from a much earlier poster which – whisper it – was for an art museum in France. If you're in need of an art fix, don't miss our round-up of the best art books .

04. Belize Tourist Board

How does a small central American country make its mark? With a rainbow of colour and nature-inspired details, thanks to Studio MPLS . Here, Belize uses some curved serifs at the top of its letterforms, mirrored by the diagonal first stroke of the 'e'. The overall rounded lettering mimics the number of circles the designers found in their research across the country’s wildlife, landscapes and culture. A toucan perches on the letter 'z', adding character without making the word illegible. As with Colombia, the icon is interchangeable for different regions, which have their own colour palettes; others include a lighthouse (for the Central Coast) and a tropical fish (for the reef).

The typeface has a slightly worn feel, thanks to little inner streaks letting the background show through. The logo can also be presented with the toucan seen separately, and its body and beak has some of those well-worn streaks. This rustic feel fits Belize’s nature-driven tourism, which often includes visits to the jungle and rainforests, and also the "hand-painted weathered signs" that Mike Fetrow, one of the designers, noted.

05. Tourism Fiji

The current version of Fiji’s logo is a vast improvement on its 2013 attempt (which was overly simplistic, forgettable, and burdened with the bland tagline ‘Where happiness finds you’). This much more inventive wordmark, from Australian agency Host/Havas , includes repeated traditional patterns seen on Masi fabric, a Fijian craft. Each motif symbolises a village, family or community.

The Prussian blue also makes this stand out from many other logos – though tourist boards love a bit of blue, this rich shade has real depth. The designs were created by Wati Maraiwai Talavutu, a Masi artist . 

The national airline, Fiji Airways, worked with Masi artist Makereta Matmosi to revamp its logo in 2012 when it rebranded from Air Pacific. If this gives you the urge to fly, take a look at our round-up of airline logos . 

06. New York Board of Tourism (USA)

It wouldn’t be fair to exclude the most iconic tourist board logo in the world. Milton Glaser’s design for New York has been replicated countless times, even though it says nothing about the city or its unique selling points – it’s simply about loving the place. There’s no trace of the skyline or attractions here; not even a nod to the city’s ‘Big Apple ’ nickname (unless the red heart reminds you of a red apple, in which case you’re probably just hungry). The lettering is set in American Typewriter, which has rounded slab serifs and feels suitably casual for the city that never sleeps. Glaser drew the sketch in red crayon back in 1976, and the original drawing can be found at New York’s Museum of Modern Art.

After 9/11, the logo was adjusted by Glaser to remind residents and tourists how strong New Yorkers can be; he changed the text to read ‘I [heart] NY more than ever’ , and gave one edge of the heart a small scorch mark; you can find this emotive design at the 9/11 Memorial and Museum. 

Glaser died in 2020, but this year we saw the logo morphed into ‘We [heart] NY’ thanks to Graham Clifford Design. We weren’t the only ones disturbed by the new look, with its cheap-looking 3D heart and thick sans-serif lettering – a misstep that Glaser thankfully never saw.

07. Experience Bengal (India)

Bengal’s wordmark has a similar feel to Belize – thankfully, there are thousands of miles between the two, as this one is in India. However, there are some precise details that mark this logo as a little bit different. The East Indian state has an incredibly colourful and modern logo that flows well and makes its mark against its competitors. It might remind you of a paint chart or a colour wheel, as each letter contains various fragmented shades.  The sloping arcs of the 'n', 'a' and 'l' stems nicely elevate the logo by dropping below the baseline, moving it away from a boring straight line to something more inventive.

So, why should Bengal be seen as colourful? In parts of West Bengal, the soil is red; meanwhile, the tea plantations and the Himalayas create dramatic scenery. The state also has its own distinct style of weaving, which appears on saris, and its own art movement, known as the Bengal School, in the early 20th century, as well as a history of Patachitra painting. If you want to apply the chosen slogan, ‘the sweetest part of India’, to Bengali food, that’s pretty colourful too – speciality desserts include amriti, which are spirals of sweet dough fried in ghee.

08. City of Rotterdam (Holland)

Did you guess that Rotterdam is a riverside city and also a port? This logo, covering the wider Rotterdam area, depicts a flowing river bursting through the letter 'R'. What was almost a 2D logo has been enhanced with a drop shadow on the lettering, in the same dark blue as the water, making the green façade of the letter really stand out. It has been in place since 1999, but by 2017, politician Sven de Langen called for this logo to be replaced with the city’s coat of arms and its original motto, 'Strong through struggle'. Thankfully for design lovers and modernists, this has not come to pass.

So, why else is the water theme relevant here? Rotterdam has the largest port in Europe, so water is the key to trade. Plus, many cities in the Netherlands are passionate about sustainability, and Rotterdam is no exception. There’s even a self-sufficient floating farm on the water, home to a herd of dairy cows, which attracted press coverage worldwide; plus, this year, an exhibition called Water Cities Rotterdam , developed by the Niewe Instituut and the architecture firm NLÉ. Whilst the tourism logo lettering is placed in the river rather than floating on top, it definitely shows that water is a key part of life in the city, and this design wasn’t plucked out of thin air.

Scotland set to shine on screen

From batman to outlander to the avengers.

Some of the world’s biggest film and TV franchises have chosen to come to our shores in recent years, from Batman to Outlander to The Avengers. 

This not only boosts the local economy in the short-term when production takes place but can provide an ongoing presence in popular culture – and streaming services – that can continue to reach new audiences and lead to visits long after a film’s release.  

According to travel experts Expedia , more than half of travellers say that TV shows and movies inspire their travel plans. It also showed nearly 30% say they are more influential than ever before – with TV shows providing a bigger draw for destinations than Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok.

Looking forward, we’ve got some exciting new TV series, that are being filmed in Scotland to look forward too. Here's a quick summary of what's coming soon.

Coming soon...

Prime video is currently filming in Scotland for a new three-part psychological thriller series called Fear. Martin Compston leads the cast, alongside Anjli Mohindra. The cast includes James Cosmo, Maureen Beattie and Daniel Portman.

The entire series will be shot in Glasgow.   

The Undertow

Netflix has recently a new series called The Undertow. Jamie Dornan is set to lead, playing identical twins Adam and Lee, alongside Mackenzie Davis, who plays Nicola, Adam’s wife. Glaswegian actor Iain De Caestecker has been cast in another lead role as Marty, police constable and best friend of Lee (Jamie Dornan).  

The Undertow will shoot at locations in the Scottish Highlands and Islands including Sutherland and the Isle of Mull, chosen for their breathtaking beauty.

Department Q 

Department Q is another Netflix series heading to Scotland. Matthew Goode is starring opposite leading Scottish acting talent Chloe Pirrie, Kelly Macdonald, Jamie Sives, Leah Byrne, Mark Bonnar, Shirley Henderson and Kate Dickie. The thriller, created by award winning showrunner Scott Frank, is entirely shot in the beautiful iconic city of Edinburgh.  

The BBC has announced a new adaptation of Sir Ian Rankin's best-selling Inspector Rebus novels.

It will star Outlander star Richard Rankin in the lead role - Detective Sergeant John Rebus - and is adapted by Black Watch author Gregory Burke.

The six-part crime series was filmed in Edinburgh and Glasgow last year.

Fear will be available on Prime Video in the UK and Ireland in 2025. The Undertow and Department Q will shoot in Scotland this year, launching on Netflix in 2025. 

Scotland is no stranger to the screens. It’s scenery, cityscapes and distinct culture have long captured the imagination of film and TV producers. It’s fantastic to see this continue with the announcement of these new productions. We look forward to seeing what role Scotland will play in these new series. Film and television productions not only boost the local economy in the short-term but are a shop window for the country’s amazing landscapes, heritage and culture. Around one in five visitors from our top international markets visit a film or TV location while on holiday in Scotland, and so with the global reach of Netflix there is a huge opportunity for the industry to promote screen tourism and encourage viewers to explore what more Scotland has to offer. Jenni Steele, VisitScotland’s Film and Creative Industries Manager

The importance of screen tourism

Scotland looks stunning on screen, even in bad weather! It’s full of drama and intrigue which film makers love. Seeing Scotland on the big screen really is an advert budgets couldn’t buy.  

We know our landscapes and history inspire people to visit Scotland, so when they see the likes of Outlander , The Crown or Harry Potter on a cinema or TV screen along with great actors and a powerful soundtrack, it really has an impact on a viewer, who we then hope will be inspired to become a visitor. 

With the huge increase in production in Scotland recently, combined with the number of digital platforms and global film and TV fans within our reach,  we’ve seen interest in screen tourism grow rapidly.

A study by Screen Scotland estimated the value of screen tourism to Scotland at £65 million in 2019.

• Solar Eclipse 2024

The Eclipse Could Bring $1.5 Billion Into States on the Path of Totality

T he total solar eclipse passing through parts of the U.S. on April 8 stands to have a major economic impact on cities across the country as stargazers flock to the path of totality. 

Factors including the date of the eclipse and the number of states in the path of totality means that millions of people will have the opportunity to view the event— and that the cities hosting them could see a combined $1.5 billion injected into their states’ economies.

“That number will include lodging costs for visitors coming from out of state or far away parts of their own state, as well as gas costs and food costs,” says Bulent Temel, assistant professor of practice in economics at the University of Texas at San Antonio, San Antonio, who performed the calculations to arrive at the $1.5 billion figure.

One to four million people are expected to travel for the eclipse, according to Great American Eclipse , an informational site that tracks solar eclipses around the world. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) estimates the days leading up to the eclipse will be some of the busiest travel days of the season, with 50,670 flights on Thursday, April 4 and 48,904 flights on Friday, April 5. That means the spending will be spread out: “[The eclipse] is on a Monday, so you might have folks coming Friday, Saturday, Sunday, spending a few days somewhere ahead of the event,” says John Downen, Director of Impact Analysis at Camoin Associates.

Many regions along the path of totality have spent months—if not years—preparing for the upcoming surge of visitors and money. Rochester, NY, is expecting 300,000 to 500,000 visitors across the nine - county Greater Rochester region. Local businesses have a slate of specials and planned events the weekend leading up to the event—including eclipse themed beers from local breweries and a three-day pass from the Rochester Museum and Science Center for visitors to attend a range of talks and performances. 

The area’s tourism board says that some hotels have reported demand skyrocketing an average of 1200% for the four-day span leading up to April 8— unusual demand for a Monday in the region’s off-peak season. 

It’s an economic boost that no amount of planning— or marketing—can replicate. “It’s a really great tourism opportunity,” says Shannon Ealy, Director of Communications and Marketing for the Greater Rochester Chamber of Commerce. “You can spend millions of dollars on media buys to get our regional brand out there, but you can't exactly buy the sun and the moon crossing over us.”

But unfortunate weather could still put a damper on things, especially for businesses that might be stocking up for an influx of visitors, since many eclipse chasers decide where to view the eclipse based on weather that can’t be predicted until the event draws closer. “Even a simple factor like a cloudy day could just compromise all these expectations quite a bit,” Temel says. 

The real task for local business and tourism boards lies in converting one-time visitors into ones that return—without the promise of a solar eclipse. “Every single one of those visitors is a potential future visitor to the same area as well,” says Temel. “In the long run, the economic impact would be magnified quite significantly. 

Adds Downen: “It definitely presents an opportunity, especially in smaller communities, to showcase themselves and hopefully capture some future repeat visitors.”

Lebanon, Indiana, for example, is expecting its population to triple during the weekend before the eclipse. Joe Lepage, the city’s communication and community development director, says he hopes that the eclipse will change the way both locals and out-of-towners talk about Lebanon. 

“We have a large business park, great hospitals, establishments where people can work, but actually staying and living in Lebanon has been difficult to sell.” he says. "It'll give people that are going back home a chance to visit and realize, ‘Hey, that little town is nice.’ But then our locals can see all the things they have in their backyard and realize, ‘Hey, my community is pretty special too.’”

Stadium entertainment districts — such as the one proposed in South Philly — are changing the game for fans around the country

The Phillies and Comcast Spectacor want to create a destination in South Philadelphia that will boost tourism and tax income and attract new residents and ideas to the city.

When Atlanta Braves fans Jeff and Alison Donovan arrived outside Citizens Bank Park, three hours early and excited for opening day versus the Phillies, they were a bit jarred by the surroundings of the South Philadelphia Sports Complex.

“There’s nothing here,” said Jeff Donovan, gazing across a great plain of asphalt that contains 22,000 parking spaces, three stadiums, and one sports bar. “There’s nowhere for us to really do anything.”

It’s different in Atlanta, he said, where the Braves’ Truist Park connects to the Battery, a big stay-and-play entertainment area that teems with lively restaurants, shops, plazas, bars and attractions. It’s packed on game days.

He and his family travel there from their home in Orlando, Fla., drawn by their love for the Braves and the energy at the Battery, named for an old baseball expression. About 10 million people visited last year.

Philadelphia, Donovan said, should build something similar. It has the room. And the fervent fans.

Now the Phillies and Comcast Spectacor , the company that owns the Flyers and the Wells Fargo Center, intend to do exactly that: transform acres of concrete and tar into a gleaming, $2.5 billion sports-and-entertainment zone. If completed, chunks of one of the largest parking areas in North America would be filled with eateries, hotels, apartments, stores, and a 5,500-seat performance venue.

Part of the goal is to create a destination, a southern gateway to Philadelphia that will boost tourism and attract new residents and ideas to the city.

“I think South Philadelphia holds that promise,” said Phil Laws, president of the Wells Fargo Center, which hosts the Sixers as well as the hockey team.

It also promises big money for the team owners.

Across the United States and Canada, these types of mixed-use properties are growing like infield grass, with 41 planned or under construction and 43 more up and operating across the five major pro leagues, according to Maryland-based RCLCO Real Estate Consulting, which advises teams and cities on the developments.

Why the popularity?

“It’s the fan experience,” said Erin Talkington, a managing director at the RCLCO office in Washington. “It’s not a great experience to park your car and walk 15 minutes across the parking lot to the game and do the same when you leave.”

Each development differs. All perform two crucial functions.

For fans and families, they provide a fun and safe place to shop and dine and immerse themselves in the aura of their favorite team. In some cities, these districts have become the go-to gathering spot during big games, where thousands gather to watch on outdoor screens that may be half the size of a basketball court.

For owners — and the main reason for the proliferation — they offer a reliable new stream of income. These venues attract people and dollars 365 days a year, so teams earn money not just from one building, not only during games, and even if the home team stinks.

“Owners are really trying to think about, ‘How am I going to maximize my profits off of this team?’” said associate professor Nicholas Watanabe, who studies sports economics at the University of South Carolina. “A lot of them realize there’s a lot more money in developing land.”

From team owner to landlord

Owners have become landlords, and income from leases and rents rolls in regularly. The projects give teams new ways to bundle ticket, hotel and dining packages, and new avenues to sell naming rights, sponsorships and advertising.

Last year, the Battery delivered $59 million in revenue to Atlanta Braves Holdings, which owns the team and the complex. That was up 10% from the previous year.

Teams see what’s happening and want it for themselves:

In New York, Mets owner Steve Cohen plans to turn 50 acres of asphalt around Citi Field into the $8 billion Metropolitan Park to feature athletic fields, a concert venue, and a casino.

In Florida, the Tampa Bay Rays intend to build a $6.5 billion stadium-and-entertainment development in St. Petersburg, a market dependent on visitors. Almost 40% of fans at Rays games come from outside the Tampa Bay area, and half of those travel from other states.

Hollywood Park, built on the grounds of an old California racetrack near the SoFi Stadium home of the NFL Rams and Chargers, includes an art gallery, an artificial lake, and apartments with amenities such as pet spas.

At Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, the NBA Bucks built the Deer District on what was previously the Park East Freeway. It features a big outdoor gathering space , a hotel, sports-medicine center, and a specialty chicken restaurant called the Cluckery.

The Titletown development near the Green Bay Packers’ Lambeau Field in Wisconsin includes a park, skating rink, tubing hill, and virtual golf gaming center, along with a luxury five-story lodge.

Back when there was no such thing as the Super Bowl and NHL goalies played bare-faced, ticket sales drove owners’ profits. The idea was to fill the stadium or arena with as many people as possible on game days and to sell them food, beer and souvenirs while they were there.

That tied owners’ financial success to team performance, and losing seasons could mean years of half-empty arenas. Today, ticket revenue is still important, but it’s become a smaller share of income, surpassed by lucrative TV and broadcast deals.

The NFL’s new media agreements pay $110 billion over 11 years, and football games and sports in general rank among the most-watched shows on television.

Still, even rich people worry about money.

These mixed-use developments help provide a hedge at a moment when the dominance of American sports programming faces new competition, from such entertainment as video games and on-demand TV, and when fan behavior can be unpredictable. Last year’s World Series between the Texas Rangers and Arizona Diamondbacks was the least-watched on record.

Even Super Bowl winners can meet a cold shoulder. This month, Kansas City voters overwhelmingly rejected a tax measure that would have helped pay for stadium renovations for the Chiefs and a new downtown ballpark for the baseball Royals.

Farther west, the NHL’s Arizona Coyotes are playing in a 4,600-seat college rink and searching for an arena deal. News reports suggest the Coyotes may relocate .

What’s proposed in Philadelphia

The Philadelphia Sports Complex stands at the final southern stop of the Broad Street subway line, with virtually all of the city to the north. For half a century it’s been the home of the four major teams — and not much else. Comcast Spectacor and the Phillies plan to change that.

When the company announced the project in February, some people thought it a ruse , an attempt to foil the tenant Sixers’ plan to leave the Wells Fargo Center and move to their own downtown arena in 2031.

But in March the Phillies confirmed they were joining as partners, bolstering the project by adding their popularity, civic muscle, and financial strength as the seventh most valuable team in major-league baseball , worth an estimated $2.9 billion. Comcast Spectacor is backed by its parent company, Comcast, the communications giant that is valued at about $160 billion.

The development is scheduled to break ground this year, starting with a $12 million renovation of Xfinity Live!, the sports bar near Citizens Bank Park.

The plan arrives at a time when teams have largely exhausted their ability to extract more dollars from the physical arenas and stadiums. The addition of luxury seating and exclusive restaurants has become common at venues across the country. There’s little left inside that hasn’t been sold, sponsored, or turned over to advertising.

“That means going outside the four walls of the building,” said the Wells Fargo Center’s Laws. “Like any industry, how do we expand our reach in terms of revenue?”

Two phases of construction are proposed to start on lots near the Wells Fargo Center, then jump north across Pattison Avenue to the area west of the Phillies ballpark.

Comcast Spectacor holds the development rights for the land that makes up phase one. So it can move forward relatively quickly on the property that would hold the performance venue, a hotel, retail shops and restaurants, an outdoor plaza, and parking.

The Eagles are on the sidelines, talking with the other organizations but not involved in the project at this time, according to the football team.

Fans worry about loss of space for tailgating, a multigenerational tradition in Philadelphia. Ultimately, according to Comcast Spectacor, the stadium district would gain, not lose, 2,000 parking spaces. The company says it’s committed to ensuring that tailgating is preserved and even improved in the Sports Complex.

The second phase of construction is more aspirational.

It would expand the project onto lots controlled by the Phillies, reaching from Citizens Bank Park to Broad Street. That phase would add residences, a second hotel, more retail, green space, parking, and potentially offices. A “Phillies Plaza” would be a hub for fans.

“This has an opportunity to be a transformational project that will leave a lasting legacy on our amazing city,” said Phillies managing partner and CEO John Middleton, adding that the plans build on work that’s already underway in nearby FDR Park, the Navy Yard and the Bellwether District.

He said upgrades in infrastructure will improve the flow of traffic in the area, and the local economy will benefit from additional jobs, residents, workers and visitors.

“From the Phillies’ perspective, this was an opportunity to participate in a grand vision for the next iteration of the Philadelphia Sports Complex,” Middleton said. It made sense for the two organizations to partner now, rather than pursue separate projects at different times, to create the best environment and atmosphere for fans, Middleton said.

Comcast Spectacor Chairman and CEO Daniel Hilferty said the company believes “this could be a transformative development and true economic generator” for the city.

“The vision is to have the sports complex be a place where Philadelphians can live, work and gather,” Hilferty said. “With all of those elements, we have the opportunity to build a vibrant district that is representative of more than just hosting events.”

One local expert said the painstaking work guaranteed by this kind of project is just beginning.

“Conceptually, turning asphalt into higher and better uses is a really laudable goal,” said Eli Storch, a Philadelphia architect who is chair of the Design Advocacy Group, which pushes for high-quality planning and development in the city. “That said, these projects take years and years, and this is the first bite of the apple.”

The DAG steering committee met with executives at Comcast Spectacor and this month urged the company to think bigger — to forge connections with neighbors outside the project boundaries, and add parks, playgrounds, and picnic spots.

DAG said the company and the Phillies should develop a master plan that can guide the project amid turnover in City Hall governance or even in team ownership.

In many ways, these modern fan complexes represent an effort to capture the charm of neighborhoods that grew up around older venues, such as Fenway Park in Boston and Wrigley Field in Chicago, which opened in 1912 and 1914, respectively. In Wrigleyville, lanes of pubs and baseball stores thrive in the shadow of the ballpark, drawing tourists and visitors even in winter.

But RCLCO’s Talkington and other experts cautioned that building these new complexes isn’t easy.

For starters, some parking lots are parking lots for good reason, because they cover underground gas or electric lines that would complicate any redevelopment efforts.

These entertainment districts are hugely expensive, and it’s hard for developers to predict the costs of labor and materials in an uncertain, post-COVID economy. Obtaining government approvals can be arduous. Neighbors may not welcome the project.

An analysis by Mortenson, a national, Minneapolis-based developer that has built pro and college stadiums and arenas, says one of the projects’ least-noticed aspects ranks among the most vital: parking garages. Entrance and exit must be seamless, the company said, because those experiences mark patrons’ first and last impressions.

Still, Mortenson said, the developments constitute “a compelling model for revenue generation and economic prosperity.”

Where entertainment districts are popping up

The building boom extends even to cities that don’t have teams, places that see the connection of stadium and real-estate development as necessary to secure an expansion team or persuade an existing club to relocate.

In Las Vegas, the Oak View Group hopes to lure an NBA team with a $1 billion, 20,000-seat arena — part of a $10 billion, 66-acre hotel, gambling and entertainment district. Utah lawmakers approved a bill that would place an entertainment zone next to a potential new Salt Lake City home for the NBA’s Jazz, an arena they hope will entice an NHL team to come ― possibly the Coyotes. The legislature wants to build a baseball stadium, too.

“Whenever a bright and shiny development is opened, there’s a ‘Keeping up with the Joneses’ effect,” said Jill Harris, a sports-economics professor at the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado. “Decision-makers in the local area see it, all the positive press, the attention. … They think, ‘Why not us?’”

Sinking millions of dollars into stadiums that have no tenants may not be the best use of tax dollars, she said, but it’s attractive to politicians who see gain in promoting big projects.

“It’s just not very glamorous to fill potholes,” she said.

The experience in Atlanta

The term the battery reaches back to the 1860s, a military-style analogy that denotes two players, the pitcher “firing” the ball to the catcher. In Atlanta, the two million-square-foot complex has become a draw for corporations, home to the regional office of Comcast and the corporate headquarters of Papa John’s pizza, which moved there from Kentucky.

Of course, that’s not why most people go to the Battery.

They go to ride the mechanical bull at PBR Atlanta , the bar brand of the Professional Bull Riders league, billed as the toughest sport on dirt. They play in the Sandbox virtual-reality center and browse through the unique designs at Baseballism, a fan shop.

“It’s more than just a baseball day experience,” said Winston Parrish, a Braves fan who with his father, Dwight, came from Asheville, N.C., to the Phillies’ opening day game. “You’re able to get a hotel right there in the Battery, and walk from your hotel to the game.”

When Dwight Parrish attended baseball games as a boy in the 1960s and 1970s, the focus was on seeing star players and snacking on Cracker Jack.

“Today, it’s a different thing,” he said. “It’s all about the kids. It’s all about the family experience. It’s awesome.”
