Event-to-spectator prediction and hosting tool

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium whose stored contents configure a computing system to perform a method, the method comprising:

• electronically receiving information at a computing device, the information representing a primary event of interest, wherein the computing device is communicatively coupled to the computing system;
• associating each one of a plurality of regions of interest to the primary event of interest, each one of the plurality of regions of interest having a different defined geographic area;
• for each one of the plurality of regions of interest, retrieving a first value, the first value being an estimated number of spectators for the primary event of interest in the associated one of the plurality of regions of interest;
• and
• for each first value that is at least equal to a minimum number of spectators per venue value, determining a second value, the second value being a number of gatherings to host, and for each second value, selecting a venue to host a gathering to view the primary event of interest.

An event-to-spectator prediction and hosting tool, comprising:

• a multiprocessor computing system, the multiprocessor computing system having a first processor and a second processor;
• at least one memory coupled to the multiprocessor computing system, the at least one memory arranged to store computer instructions executable by the first and second processors of the multiprocessor computing system, wherein the computer instructions are arranged to direct the multiprocessor computing system to:
• determine a minimum-number-of-spectators-per-region (MIN_FANS);
• identify an event-of-interest (EVENT) having an associated date and an associated time;
• associate a plurality of regions of interest to the EVENT, each one of the plurality of regions of interest (REGION) having a defined geographic area;
• for each REGION, retrieve a first value, the first value being an estimated-number-of-spectators (EST_NUM_FANS) for the EVENT in the associated REGION;
• and
• for each first value greater than or equal to MIN_FANS, determine a second value, the second value being a number of gatherings to host, and for each second value, selecting a venue to host a gathering to view the EVENT.
