Sporting events bring together people from all over who share the love and fascination of a sport. These individuals could have nothing more in common than being at the sporting event, but it is the excitement, the thrill, and watching the challenge take place that creates a bond full of sign holding, cheering, and – sometimes – even yelling.
Whether supporting a friend, a family member, or an old (or future) opponent, you want to be able to have a nice space to enjoy the sporting event and, most importantly, have a magnificent view. Having the event outdoors can lead to many obstacles. However, moving the sporting event indoors could be costly. What is a win-win solution?
How about having a temporary indoor space for your sporting event in a temporary tent structure?
It isn’t always likely that sports arenas will be used enough to cover their cost to build – and maintain. Utilizing something simpler, such as a tent rental, could benefit the athletes, the association, and the spectators. There is your win-win solution!
There are many sports that benefit by being held indoors. A few of the more common indoor sports are:
Swimming
Swimming deals with water, it is a sport that requires some degree of warmth to be able to do. Sure, you could always hold a tournament or swim meet outdoors in the winter time, but if that water is frozen, you won’t get much swimming done! If you decide to turn on the heated pool, you may find that getting out of the warm water into freezing temperatures isn’t very welcoming either. Let’s not even talk about how spectators would feel about having to sit outside around a pool of water in the dead of winter.
Swimming doesn’t have to be just a summer sport. Using a temporary tent structure to have an indoor swim meet can make a dramatic difference for everyone involved. Thanks to the ability to be climate controlled, the tent will keep the air surrounding the pool at the proper room temperature, no matter what season it is!
Gymnastics
Gymnastics is a sport that involves many elements including floor exercise, balance beam, uneven bars, and the vault. This is a sport that is unable to be performed with 100% accuracy outdoors. Not only does it require a large amount of skill, but it requires precise equipment – and completely level flooring.
Gymnastics as a sport is popular, but not enough to successfully have its own facility. This makes a temporary tent structure a perfect idea. It will protect the gymnasts from the elements while also providing a facility that meets all their needs – including the level flooring and stable equipment.
Ice hockey
Brrr! Ice hockey rinks need to be chilled to maintain the frozen surface needed for the sport. Trying to hold an ice hockey event or tournament on a less than chilly day can mean some bad news for the ice rink.
The climate control available in temporary tent structures and tent rentals could make the outdoor weather a moot point! Instead spectators will want to dress warm because it will be cold inside facility – even if it is Tucson, Arizona or Miami, Florida! This couldn’t happen without the help of the temporary tent structure.
Overall benefits of having sporting events indoors
Choosing to have your sporting event indoors – whether swimming, gymnastics, ice hockey, or any sport – can mean the difference between having a successful event or a failed success. If you still aren’t convinced, check these out:
- Climate control. Mother nature can do all sorts of things. Just as you may plan a skiing trip and an unusual heat wave could melt the snow, so could go wrong with your sporting event. You cannot predict how cold or hot it will be. So, if your sporting event relies on a specific temperature to be a success, an indoor event may be the way to go.
- Other harsh weather. Even if your sporting event doesn’t require a specific temperature, it will likely require a sunny day. However, with just one stroke of bad luck, your outdoor sporting event could be washed away with a thunderstorm. You can prevent this from happening by choosing to make use of a temporary tent structure for your event. The flooring, ceiling, and side walls will keep any water damage from halting your game.
- Room for everyone. Temporary structures can be customized to meet the need. If you are having a large event, then you will need a larger tent. Same goes for smaller events. Once you know the size you need – including space for seating for spectators, vendors, locker rooms, restrooms, and game floor – you can order the tent to meet the specifications. There is no need to have a lot of excess space or try to cram too many people into a small space. Find the space that is just right.
How a temporary tent structure can help
Here are a few things to think about: How often will you hold these events? Will you be using the facility regularly for training and practice or just for events? Does it allow you to expand for extra spectators should a big tournament occur?
Permanent sports structures cannot be changed. If you decide to host a big event, you may have difficulty due to the size of the facility. Yes, it has sturdy walls, solid flooring, and a hard roof. But, then again, so does a temporary tent. The only difference? One is customizable and the other is not.
Another thing to think about is the cost-effectiveness of a temporary tent structure. Buying or leasing a permanent space can be expensive, especially if you aren’t working with a big budget. In addition, you will need to maintain the building, whether you are using it or not. So, if you are involved in a sport that has an off-season you will still need to have upkeep on the building to ensure it remains in good, workable condition.
Choosing to have a temporary indoor sporting event rather than outdoor event or one in a permanent facility depends on preference. However, the pros outweigh the cons where a temporary tent structures are concerned – something to consider before your next big game!
