Jon Niemuth, VP at AECOM Sports Americas

In this episode of the Sport Lifestyle Podcast, we speak with Jon
Niemuth, Vice-President for AECOM Sports, Americas. Aecom, via
its acquisitions of Tishman and Hunt Construction, is one of the
leading construction companies when it comes to sports facilities
of all shapes, sizes, and uses. They have constructed some of the
most iconic stadiums and arenas in the world including Mercedes
Benz Stadium in Atlanta. More recently they were one of the main
contractors for the new combined Chargers/Rams stadium in
Inglewood, CA. Our conversation focused on keeping fans safe and
healthy in a Covid-19 environment with social distancing and
other requirements. Jon has been speaking to all of their stadium
owners and teams and trying to understand their needs and what it
will take to accomplish the goal of keeping fans safe while still
making the in-stadium fan experience fun and enjoyable. His main
piece of advice was to not make any hasty or snap decisions.
