Travel to Cessna Stadium
14 km (8.7 mi) separates Cessna Stadium from Wichita Dwight D. Eisenhower National Airport (ICT) — normal for a city venue, and worth a line in the joining instructions rather than a shuttle contract.
The centre of Wichita is 4.9 km (3 mi) away, which is a taxi rather than a walk and a reason to publish an arrival map.
Wichita has 41 venues mapped in total and a population of 400,991. The Wichita guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
What fits in this room
Anything at this scale is a one-room event. It is the 1st largest arena or stadium mapped in Wichita, and like all of them it solves the plenary and none of the rest of the programme.
- award ceremonies
A stage, a bowl of seats and a control room already in place.
- festivals
An audience of 31,500 is festival scale, not conference scale.
- company all-hands
One room, everybody in it, nobody watching on a screen in an overflow space.
