Access and arrival
13 km (8.1 mi) separates Sun Bowl Stadium from El Paso International Airport (ELP) — normal for a city venue, and worth a line in the joining instructions rather than a shuttle contract.
The centre of El Paso is 2.5 km (1.6 mi) away, which is a taxi rather than a walk and a reason to publish an arrival map.
El Paso has 34 venues mapped in total and a population of 681,723. The El Paso guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
The kind of event it takes
Anything at this scale is a one-room event. It is the 1st largest arena or stadium mapped in El Paso, 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 51,500 is festival scale, not conference scale.
- company all-hands
One room, everybody in it, nobody watching on a screen in an overflow space.

A Sun Bowl Stadium programme at 950 activated attendees — sized to the stated capacity of Sun Bowl Stadium — prices like this. Nothing is charged for the first 50, and nothing at all is charged past 1,000.
