Sports Venue Development
Today's sports venues are expensive. Very expensive.
Before deciding whether to spend tens of milions of dollars on a new venue, you've got to know what questions to ask and to whom those questions should be addressed. Sports Venue Development is your guide to that process.
We start out helping you ask the basic question of whether a new or renovated sports venue is right for you, then move you through getting a feasibility study to see if the idea holds water, then on to financing to begin thinking about how to finance it.
Next we'll introduce you to the revenue streams that your new or renovated building will generate so you can understand where the money will come from to meet your debt obligations.
Lastly we'll give you some practical advice about how to communicate with your community about a new building, how to deal with the press and how to negotiate a lease.
And if your goal is a college venue, we haven't forgotten about you. We've scattered advice throughout the book just for colleges to help you understand how things differ on campus.
Because we put such great importance on the need for feasibility studies, we've included a bonus feature: the book includes a CD-ROM filled with sample feasibilitystudies done by other communities and colleges. You can use these to see what questions others had and how they were answered. It's also a great way to understand financing plans and revenue streams.
If you're thinking about building or renovating a sports venue, this is the place to start. The price is just $95 and we pay the cost of shipping.
