In my opinion it depends on the type of facility.

Allowing people trekking or walking in highly environmentally sensitive areas, may cause havoc.

Same for construction of auto race installations

Dear Nadir Bouslah

Thank you for your question,

Yes, there is a growing interest in planning for environmental sustainability in the construction of major sports facilities. With increasing awareness of climate change and the environmental impact of large-scale construction projects, more sports organizations and architects are prioritizing sustainability. This includes the use of energy-efficient designs, sustainable building materials, water conservation systems, and renewable energy sources like solar panels. Many new sports venues are being designed with features such as green roofs, natural lighting, and better waste management practices. Additionally, there is a focus on creating spaces that are not only environmentally friendly during construction but also throughout the facility's operation and eventual deconstruction.

Major sporting events like the Olympics and World Cup have also made environmental sustainability a key part of their legacy plans, pushing for green building certifications and sustainability goals. These steps are seen as necessary for reducing the long-term environmental footprint of these massive projects.

Best,

Dear Bouslah

Another example is the construction and replacing existent roads of new roads, by motorways or highways which implies destroying part of a forest, and producing noise and lost of landscapes because the sound barriers, if those new roads favor the access to sporting facilities

Some places maintain a very delicate equilibrium that can be affected by the presence of large quantity of people, that can produce a small microclimate and also disturb wild animals
