Case Study: Commonwealth Stadium transforms venue planning and World Cup bidding with OnePlan Venue Twin

Commonwealth Stadium creates a 3D Venue Twin with OnePlan Events for FIFA 2026 planning

The Commonwealth Stadium in Edmonton partnered with OnePlan to implement their VenueTwin solution. The stadium's challenge was managing its complex environment for a variety of sports and entertainment events using disconnected tools like PowerPoint slides and spreadsheets that did not integrate, making operational and marketing planning inefficient.

OnePlan's solution was VenueTwin, a centimeter-accurate digital twin of the stadium. This provided huge operational and commercial benefits, allowing for integrated planning, hyper-realistic marketing visualizations for sponsors, and the ability to quickly adapt the venue for different events. A key result was its use in Edmonton's successful bid to be a host city for the FIFA 2026 World Cup, where VenueTwin was used to visually demonstrate how the stadium would meet FIFA standards. OnePlan provided a flexible, collaborative system that ensured the venue was prepared for future events.
