Access and arrival
9 km (5.6 mi) separates Bartow Arena from Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport (BHM) — normal for a city venue, and worth a line in the joining instructions rather than a shuttle contract.
The centre of Birmingham is 2.1 km (1.3 mi) away, which is a taxi rather than a walk and a reason to publish an arrival map.
Birmingham has 56 venues mapped in total and a population of 196,357. The Birmingham guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
The kind of event it takes
At 8,508 the seating bowl is the point and the floor is the room you are actually booking. Plan the day around one big moment here and put everything that needs a smaller room in a second building.
- award ceremonies
A stage, a bowl of seats and a control room already in place.
- festivals
An audience of 8,508 is festival scale, not conference scale.
- company all-hands
One room, everybody in it, nobody watching on a screen in an overflow space.
