Three executives from Climate Pledge Arena sat down Tuesday with VenuesNow to talk about how the Seattle venue is pointed toward the milestone of becoming the first carbon neutral arena, powered 100% by renewable electricity. General Manger Steve Mattson; Tom Conroy, vice president of operations; and Rob Johnson, vice president of sustainability and transportation, spoke to Senior Editor Don Muret about the many pieces of the puzzle required to create a net zero carbon facility. The arena took on its name June 25 when it was announced that Seattle-based online retail giant Amazon had bought the naming rights, tying them to an agreement it signed in 2019 with activist group Global Optimism to push for corporate America to achieve net zero carbon by 2040.

Texas Rangers exec talks about Globe Life Field coming to life Globe Life Field, the Texas Rangers’ new $1.2 billion stadium, is starting to see some activity. Players are working out at the venue and about one-third of the front-office staff gathered there over the past week, according to Rob Matwick, the team’s executive vice president of business operations. In the newest installment of VenuesNow Digital Sessions, Matwick discussed the situation with the new ballpark and potential adjustments post-COVID-19 at the 40,500-seat facility. The state of Texas classified construction as essential work, since the stay-at-home orders were put in place in March, and other restrictions have been lifted, resulting in the Rangers slowly ramping their operation back up in Arlington. “Last week, we started batting practice on the field with a couple guys at a time,” Matwick said. “They’re allowed now to come in — if they live in the area — and use the weight room.… Continue Reading Video: Digital Sessions With Rob Matwick

Dayna Frank, president and CEO of First Avenue Productions and board president of the new National Independent Venue Association, connected with Pollstar on Tuesday for the latest installment of the Pollstar Live! One-On-One Sessions. In the wide-ranging interview, Frank discussed leading NIVA’s advocacy efforts during the coronavirus crisis, the unique challenges independent venues face, and what a post-coronavirus future might look like for the live industry. “It was such a moment of solidarity,” Frank said of NIVA’s formation in March. “It was just so comforting to hear what other people were doing and that we weren’t just alone in Minneapolis going through this.” During the coronavirus crisis, Frank has worked to educate lawmakers and fight for additional relief for the venues that provide critical economic benefits to their local communities. “Our industry, we need a lot of help,” she said. “We’re entirely shut down.
