Access and arrival
11 km (6.8 mi) separates United Spirit Arena from Lubbock Preston Smith International Airport (LBB) — normal for a city venue, and worth a line in the joining instructions rather than a shuttle contract.
The centre of Lubbock is 3 km (1.9 mi) away, which is a taxi rather than a walk and a reason to publish an arrival map.
Lubbock has 28 venues mapped in total and a population of 272,086. The Lubbock 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 2nd largest arena or stadium mapped in Lubbock, 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 15,098 is festival scale, not conference scale.
- company all-hands
One room, everybody in it, nobody watching on a screen in an overflow space.
