DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF AN ONLINE STADIUM MANAGAMENT INFORMATION SYSTEM (A CASE STUDY OF GODSWILL AKPABIO INTERNATIONAL STADIUM UYO)

ABSTRACT: An online stadium management information system for the Godswill Akpabio International stadium Uyo, was be developed in this project. The current process of management at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium is being operated manually and due to this procedure numerous problems are being encountered. The system is developed in order to tackle these problems encountered by the use of the conventional manual registration and ticket procurement.

This system is capable of performing crowd management, ticketing management, fraud checks, and customer care/ advertisement. The incremental software development process was employed in the development of the system. The development of the system passed through three increments and in each increment communication, planning, modelling, construction and deployment activities were carried out. The system iterated between development and testing stages until the set objectives were met. The application was developed using XHTML (Extended Hypertext Markup Language) for the interface, MySQL (Structured Query Language) for the database, PHP (Hypertext Preprocessor) for connecting between the database and GUI, and Apache (Webserver).

The result of the developed system are positive, as the system could be used to create a database of customers in the stadium, better the administrative process of the stadium management, therefore making the general running of the stadium easier and efficient.
