  1. Note: The distance travelled by participants was measured in miles but converted to kilometres (1 mile = 1.61 km). The emission per spectator was calculated by multiplying distance travelled to and from games by appropriate conversion factor based on mode of travel and reported in kgCO2e. For example 10 km travel to and from a football game by bus will result in 10 * 0.11 = 1.1 kgCO2e20.
