Thinking about it, they will probably use a space away from the ground, that is dedicated to big events across the city where they can coordinate with other public agencies such as highways and the ambulance service and be able to follow through on the requirements set down by a SAG chaired by MCC. There’s a lot of planning that goes into these events. Same goes for festivals and concerts. Makes sense they are all commanded from the same place, irrespective of where the events are held within GM. All the technology, communications and command structure will all be housed within that space in order for situations to be responded to as quickly as possible. It won’t be perfect, of course, but it makes absolute sense to operate that way, thinking about it.
