Summary

StubHub has revamped its interactive seat mapping system using the Mapbox Tiling Service (MTS) and Mobile Maps SDK, which allows for seamless georeferenced stadium seating selections across web and mobile platforms while eliminating previous technical challenges. This transformation ensures consistency in seating data across all devices by processing it only once, thereby facilitating the expansion to more venues without infrastructure concerns. By adopting Mapbox SDKs, StubHub has reduced maintenance efforts, improved performance, and paved the way for creating innovative maps, including potential 3D features and points of interest, thus enhancing the user experience and operational efficiency.
