D1.2. Sport Venue. Accessibility of the venue where the event is staged is an important factor. Accessibility pertains to highways leading to the venue, public transportation to the venues, and parking facilities at the venue. Transportation and proximity to the above reduce time and cost and thus make the experience more acceptable (Hinch & Higham, 2004). It must be noted that access to the venue also includes the ease of exit from the venue after the event. For instance, Wakefield et al. (1996) suggest that customers may refrain from entering the sporting venue where they have trouble finding a parking space or anticipate problems with exiting the parking lot. Today, many facilities are designed to allow for quick entry and exit of fans with automobiles (Crompton, 2004).
