Case Study

REAL BUILDS: Amazon VIP Lounge at the NFL Superbowl, SF

Project Overview

Client: Amazon – NFL Superbowl 
Location: Jessie Square, San Francisco
Supplier: Event in a Tent
Aim: Create custom luxury VIP lounge structures for Amazon at the NFL Super Bowl.Custom quad dome VIP lounge structure for Amazon at the NFL Super Bowl with branded canopy and glazed walls

Initially, we were approached by Experience NVE with Amazon’s scope for a sports-themed VIP lounge at the NFL Super Bowl. The space needed to house luxury bars, meeting rooms, communal areas and brand activation spaces. In response, we designed and built a series of linked custom Quad Domes completed with custom branded covers and glazed windows and doors to create a truly eye-catching and unique space befitting the Amazon brand.

Installation Details

  • Tent Size: Four 10x15m Quad Domes, two 10x10m Quad Domes (800m²)

  • Canvas Colour: Custom Amazon and sports-themed – custom football/soccer ball, basketball, F1 tyre, golf ball, American football and Amazon logo ‘Sports, Delivered’. Design was achieved in collaboration and partnership with AJ Tensile.

  • Frame: Glulam timber beams, as well as part glazed windows and doors and part custom side walls with Amazon logo.

  • Fixing Method: Guy lines were securely bolted into a solid wooden timber subfloor provided by PRO EM.

Venue Benefits & Functionality

Thanks to this design, the structure was able to provide:

  • Dedicated Reception Spaces – An open, visually appealing feel that could be experienced inside and outside. Specifically, this included a check-in desk, main bar and sports-themed bar.

  • Dedicated Meeting and Board Rooms – Luxury, intimate and private meeting rooms and board rooms clearly separated from the main spaces

  • Brand Activation Spaces – Areas for luxury sports brand giveaway such as Levi’s Denim Bar and golf simulator

From Concept to Build

The space presented several challenges due to its complex location with some established trees and obstructions within Jessie Square. The modular nature of the Quad Domes allowed us to overcome this in the design phase by placing the 10x15m and 10x10m quad domes around these obstructions while not compromising on the functionality of the space.

We collaborated closely with Amazon and Experience NVE, holding regular design concept meetings to ensure the final structure matched their vision. After design sign-off, we began producing the structures and walls. Thanks to our experienced UK and US installation crews, the entire lounge was constructed in just three days. The result, we successfully delivered fully operational, custom luxury VIP lounge structures for Amazon at the NFL Super Bowl!
