THE PARC DES PRINCES OPENS ITS DOORS TO SUPPORTERS AROUND THE WORLD FOR A GROUND-BREAKING IMMERSIVE AND INTERACTIVE EXPERIENCE

Paris Saint-Germain is today launching a new Parc des Princes experience that will give supporters the chance to discover the legendary stadium and delve into the club’s history in an interactive and immersive way. Intent on becoming one of Paris’ leading tourist attractions, the Parc des Princes has not welcomed visitors since 2012, owing to its complete refurbishment between 2013 and 2016.
“Supporters have been eagerly awaiting the chance to visit the Parc des Princes, not to mention the millions of tourists who flock to the French capital every year,” said Fabien Allègre, the club’s director of diversification. “In line with the club’s goal, we have taken the time to put together a project that exceeds its expectations and offers an interactive and immersive experience unlike any other in the world.”
Representing a world first for a football club, the experience is founded on the latest virtual reality and immersive video technologies and comprises three phases.
To create THE PSG EXPERIENCE, Paris Saint-Germain teamed up with the cinema group mk2. With its extensive expertise in the field of virtual reality, mk2 entrusted this unique stadium tour project to its subsidiary YWF, a specialist in the production and operating of immersive experiences.
AN IMMERSION IN THE WORLD OF PSG, IN THREE EXCITING PHASES
- THE PSG STADIUM TOUR: THE STADIUM TOUR REINVENTED
The stadium tour provides a unique insight into life at the Parc des Princes. As well as seeing what goes on behind the scenes, visitors can look around the executive boxes, check out the dressing rooms, and even go pitchside and take a seat in the dugout.
The experience is enhanced by state-of-the-art immersion devices. The Institute for Research and Coordination in Acoustics/Music (IRCAM) has developed a 3D sound experience that will put visitors in the shoes of the players and make them feel as if they are walking out on to the pitch on matchday.
- THE HISTORY ROOM
The History Room offers a wall of trophies and an immersive video experience that take visitors on a journey through the club’s greatest moments, all of which are revealed in the form of a story told with the aid of 12 4K projectors, which combine to create stunning projections.
- PSG ARCADE VR: A WHOLE NEW FOOTBALL CLUB EXPERIENCE
The VR Arcade, situated on the first floor of the Paris Saint-Germain Megastore opposite the Parc des Princes, is a 400m2 area devoted to virtual reality experiences, where visitors can fly high above Paris and the Parc des Princes thanks to Birdly – an exclusive first in France – pull on Gianluigi Buffon’s gloves and save free-kicks from Neymar and Di Maria, relive the last Classico against Marseille in 360°, row on the Seine with the PSG players, and play Sparc, a futuristic game that is a mix of sport and virtual reality.
Boasting cutting-edge immersive technologies (the very latest HP Reverb VR headsets and a flight simulator) and equipped with arcade games, the PSG VR Arcade is open to anyone above the age of six. Admission is free, though visitors must pay to use each attraction.
This communal space also has a bar and an area where matches are screened live.
