This is like giving every sports fan a smart digital concierge that learns what they love—seats, merch, highlights, stats—and quietly adjusts the entire game-day and at-home experience around them.
Professional teams need to deepen fan engagement and increase revenue per fan while competing with at-home entertainment options; AI helps personalize marketing, content, ticketing, and in-arena experiences at scale instead of relying on generic campaigns and manual analysis.
