Description
A stadium reopening plan is essential for the Braves’ response to COVID-19 and any future pandemics. The project objective is to mitigate COVID-19 transmission in Truist Park for the 2021 season and reduce financial losses compared to the 2020 season while keeping customer safety at the forefront of every operational decision. The team created a dynamic geographic risk profile in Tableau to determine the number of infections for the customer base at any given game. This is an input into an agent-based simulation tailored to the stadium architecture to model virus transmission between customers as they utilize customer service points: entry, concessions, restrooms, concourse, seating, and exit. Different risk mitigation interventions test these customer service points and limit the number and duration of customer interactions at various stadium capacities. Effective interventions will be recommended in a stadium operational guide for the Braves. Please see the project video and poster below for more information.
