This makes it easier for data to be handled or managed. The stadium staffs have been finding it so difficult to manage manage inform informati ation on for exampl example: e: in the existi existing ng syste system m where everything is processed manually: the operators find it diff diffic icul ultt to st stor ore: e: loca locate te or retr retrie ieve ve info inform rmat atio ion n when when necessary necessary..
Also the the issue of of crowd control control and and ticketing ticketing::

The computer system can be used in so many ways in the stadium: for example: crowd control: processing of ticket for an event: managing office files and so on.
