The 2014
Ryder Cup
In 2014, Snoozebox operated an 250 bedroom hotel for European Tour Productions, the host broadcaster of The Ryder Cup at Gleneagles in Scotland. The Ryder Cup is the premier team golf event in the world. The 2014 Ryder Cup saw Snoozebox build further on its first golf event, The Open, in 2013.
The TV compound has a Snoozebox Hotel on site with 250 rooms, so key production staff can sleep on site in case of traffic or other issues.
The event here at Gleneagles this week is twice as big in terms of infrastructure as even Celtic Manor four years ago, and five to 10 times as big when it comes to technology.
The outdoor wireless network set-up this week is the biggest ever for an outdoor event in the UK there is more connectivity at Gleneagles this week than in the whole of Perthshire!
The Ryder Cup 2014 was the biggest outside broadcast ever produced for an outdoor sport in the UK with over 1,000 people working in the broadcast compound.
