Euro 2008 Fan Zone

I'm spending this week in Vienna at the Fan Zone while the Castrol Performance Pitch is being built ahead of the EURO 2008 tournament. Kempster have looked after all the project management and we're responsible for the design elements.


The pitch gives guests the opportunity to play a 10 minute 5-a-side game. During the game they are monitored by a remarkable piece of technology that will give them cold hard facts relating to their performance - including average speed, distance covered, percentage of time running, walking and sprinting, the number of goals/saves they made and also their position on the pitch over the entire game as a 'heatmap'.


All this information is made available to players online after the game in the form of a personalised player card. The card also contains an overall score that will rank their performance against all others who participate.


I thought I'd try and post a daily record of the site as it takes shape. First picture will be of an empty site at some ungodly hour tomorrow...
