Practice Information
As one of the world's leading design practices Populous creates exceptional spaces and venues that draw people together and serve as a point of reference and rejuvenation for entire communities. Our buildings range from iconic stadia and arenas, to convention centres and amphitheaters, with recent projects including the new Yankee Stadium and Citi Field in New York; the Olympic Stadium for the London 2012 Olympics; Nanjing Sports Park in China; Suncorp Stadium in Australia; the Phoenix Convention Centre in Arizona and the Florida Marlins' new baseball stadium under development in Miami. We used to be known as HOK Sport Venue Event and are celebrating a rebranding to Populous following our successful management buyout in 2008 from HOK Group www.hok.com
Populous' architects and event managers are some of the world's most experienced designers, drawing from the combined expertise of more than 1,000 projects with construction value exceeding $20 billion. The company’s client list is diverse and comprehensive; it includes 24 Major League Baseball franchises, 30 NFL franchises, 80 professional and civic arena clients, 40 soccer and rugby teams, 120 colleges and universities, 40 convention and performing arts centre clients, 27 Super Bowls and 30 major events. With 500 employees in offices in Kansas City, London, Brisbane, Singapore, Hong Kong, Auckland, Denver, Nashville, Knoxville and New York, we share and drive global best practice in our fields of expertise and most importantly, we use the power of design to draw people together.

YANKEES, METS, WIMBLEDON, WEMBLEY, LONDON + SYDNEY OLYMPICS STADIA DESIGNERS HOK SPORT VENUE EVENT ANNOUNCE NEW NAME POPULOUS
Global design practice, HOK Sport Venue Event, is delighted to announce its new name – Populous. The rebranding follows its successful management buyout in December 2008 from HOK Group and comes at a time of celebration for many of the practice’s current projects:
Both the new Yankee Stadium and the new Citi Field Stadium for the New York Mets open this week, April 3.
The test event for the new roof on Wimbledon’s Centre Court, London, is scheduled for May 17 and tickets sold out in 5 minutes.
The Michael Jackson concert series to be held this summer at the Populous-designed 02 Arena were the fastest selling tickets ever in London.
Construction on the Populous-designed London 2012 Olympic Stadium has just reached the halfway milestone mark.
And the practice recently completed the Phoenix Convention Center and has been appointed to design the new Florida Marlins ballpark in Miami.
To coincide with the unveiling of the new brand, which means 'full of people', Populous has launched a website to capture views on ‘what draws people together?’ People from around the world have started answering the question in a video that can be viewed on the site. To participate in this global discussion visit www.populous.com and submit your answer. The site also provides more detail on the meaning behind the new brand and the people behind the name.
Rod Sheard, Senior Principal of Populous said:
“What we do best is design buildings that draw people together so Populous is the perfect name to reflect our business. Whether it’s for sports and entertainment or exhibits and conferences, our aim is to create buildings that people love to be in and which can become a point of reference and rejuvenation for their communities.
“The new Yankee Stadium and Citi Field Stadium, both opening this weekend, and the new roof at Wimbledon’s Centre Court, to be showcased for the first time in May, are great examples of the special experiences and sense of community that can be shared in our buildings. With our rebranding we are calling for people from all over the world to come to our website and tell us what they think ‘draws people together’.”
