Industry Trends Shaping the future

Private equity (PE) is reshaping the sports landscape. The NFL’s recent rule change allowing PE investment in teams, coupled with rising interest in college sports, opens significant opportunities. PE firms are investing beyond team ownership into areas like mixed-use stadium developments, driving diversified revenue, profitability, and long-term value creation. To capitalize on this trend, sports teams must strategically leverage technology solutions to drive profitability and support innovative service offerings.
Facing pressure to boost profitability and diversify revenue, sports and entertainment providers can leverage Generative AI. This technology streamlines operations (customer care, marketing, sales, legal, etc.), enhancing efficiency and generating cost savings. It also enhances player and team performance through data analysis and improves the fan experience with hyper-personalized content. Stakeholders must explore this disruptive technology to stay competitive.
The future of sports and entertainment is being shaped by rapid technological advancements, transforming the fan experience from screen to stadium and beyond. Sports venues are at the forefront of this transformation, integrating technologies such as interactive seating, augmented reality overlays, contactless entry/exit, automated kiosks, sensor-embedded equipment, and innovative digital experiences. These innovations rely on robust connectivity, and visionary organizations are investing in the infrastructure to support them.
JLA is uniquely positioned to provide strategy consulting to sports teams, entertainment providers, leagues, and venue owners seeking to leverage the transformative potential of technology. Our comprehensive expertise encompasses the development of overall technology strategies, the design and implementation of bespoke AI solutions, rigorous vendor evaluation processes, and the deployment of advanced private and wireless network infrastructures, enabling clients to enhance team performance, drive operational efficiencies across their organizations, and significantly enhance the fan experience.
