Summary: NHL Sees Value In Las Vegas

Hi guys! This past weekend we were graced with a much needed fall break. After a few weeks of constant studying, it was nice to have a four day weekend to sit back and relax. After my two tests on Friday I drove seven hours to meet my dad and my girlfriend's dad in Pittsfield Illinois for a few day hunting trip at a lease that my dad has. It was a long drive, but it was worth it when I arrived to a 16oz prime rib at one of my favorite restaurants, the Red Dome. Unfortunately the corn and soybeans had not yet been cut around our farm so we did not see as many deer as usual, but we still had fun and relaxed for a few days.

The NHL saw the increasing population in the Southern states and wanted to take advantage. In Florida, from 1970 to 2010, it is estimated the population will more than triple from six million to 19 million. The NHL saw this huge increase in population and in the late 90’s put two new teams into both California and Florida. The NHL is a business, and when there are huge amounts of people, no matter where it is, they see an opportunity to make money and want to put teams there. The city of Atlanta actually had an NHL team from 1972 to 1980, when the team was moved to Calgary. In 1980 when the team left, there were just over 2 million people in the metropolitan area of Atlanta. In 2004, the city had more than doubled to 5 million, just a few years after another team was given to Atlanta. The NHL tries to put an NHL franchise anywhere where they feel there is a possibility of making money. But what affect are all of these new Southern teams having on the NHL and its fans?

This is the deal-killer. The players want no part of any such restriction. The percentage formula is especially unattractive now, because short-term league revenues will likely drop because of the lengthy lockout.

What are the relevant revenues and costs? Provide a proposal for the expansion to the Cup to 64 teams, including ancillary revenues and costs.

Morgan, Kris and the kids get here in the morning. I turned in my class work for the week ahead of time because I knew I wouldn't get it done with them here. We go to court on Tuesday for the finalization of Kris adopting the kids. It will be a great

Choosing an NHL nickname takes a lot of time and effort. This is how Vegas got their nickname. Bill Foley is the general manager of the Vegas Golden Knights, and he was the one who chose Vegas’s nickname. According to the article “How the Vegas Golden Knights were Named” Foley says he wanted to emphasize something in the warrior class because the were the highest class in all of the fighters, Bill also says that hockey players are like warriors. Foley wanted Vegas’s new NHL team to have part of Nevada’s history. Bill got the Golden part of the Golden knights from Vegas being the state that had the most gold production out of all of the 50 states. Vegas’s name is partially tied in with the United States Military. Vegas’s organization came up

What sports fan doesn’t like the idea of being able to help pay for his or her favorite team’s stadium? One might say that fans spend a lot of time and money there, so they would like the stadium to be nice and new. It is quite possible that a new stadium could help the team’s performance, or help with the chance to hold a major event, such as the Super Bowl (at least these are perceived notions among many sports fans.) The incentive to win or attend the Super Bowl seems pretty enticing to a fan. Plus, without a new stadium, many owners threaten to leave town if they are denied help from taxpayers. Can you imagine not having your favorite team in town anymore? The pride in having a hometown team is not something to take lightly. The owners and the local government work together to convince the residents of the city and local businesses that it’ll all be worth it in the long run thanks in part to the jobs and revenue being put into the city. Surely fans don’t mind giving a little bit of extra money out of their taxes if it means keeping their favorite team around for many years to come while supplying jobs and extra revenue into local businesses.

Despite the looming idea of everything that needs to be taken care of, the league has decided on and approved a new expansion team: Las Vegas. Las Vegas is what many may call the perfect opportunity for the NHL. There are

Although there has been a drastic change in how many new arenas/stadiums have been constructed over the past five to ten years, it is too early to see how big of an impact it has had on their respective cities. I strongly believe that if you have a very successful franchise, you will be able to get the support from the city in order to build a new stadium or arena. Hopefully over the next couple of decades we will be able to study the economic impact on the most recent stadiums and arenas that have been constructed and use them as a learning tool to see how we can enhance the funding for future stadiums down the

The ideal arena deal is paid for by a tax or by private money. Both methods are capable of making this process extremely easy. Efficiency is the key to landing an expansion franchise. MLS franchises have followed different arena plans. None NFL stadium plans aren't stable but they can be lucrative. Seattle has enjoyed enormous success after choosing the first option.

Monday- Came in continued on book work Chapter two and then went out to the lab where. I continued working on my Copper Swage Project. I pinched the end and started to braze. While I was brazing I messed up and made a mess and destroyed the project braze went all over it. The copper was burnt so I broke it down. I noticed the scrap pile and the box with pipe that needed to be broken down was over flowing. So I asked coach if he wanted me to break it down he said yes so Caleb and I started to break it down. Then I went to the Tours Recognition Gathering. Tuesday- Caleb and I continued to break all the pipe and projects. We cut it all up and put it into the bin. We didn't finish so we continued doing that into Wednesday. Wednesday- We continued

I will be examining Forbes’s list of most expensive NHL franchises based on data collected up until the 2013-2014 season. This particular form of popular culture is the National Hockey League or the professional ice hockey sport. This is an important topic to examine, because these are multi-million dollar (in some cases billion dollar) organizations/franchises where lots of revenue is made daily, affecting the North American economy greatly. Although some teams are worth much more then others, how well the team performs doesn’t directly affect the teams overall worth, rather time spent in the league, and location of each given team act as the biggest factors.

In the United States, new sports stadiums are commonly seen as a vital part of the redevelopment of a city having a great economic growth with the production of jobs and a positive income builder. After this, the owners of the pro sports teams with millions and millions of dollars of subsidies for the construction of new stadiums and arenas and expect these facilities to generate economic benefits exceeding these subsidies by large margins. However, a growing body of fact indicates that professional sports facilities, and the franchises they are home to, may not be engines of economic benefit anywhere claims Sachse, “. In reality, sports franchises typically account for a very small proportion of the total economic output of the cities in which they reside.” Some economical studies on the amount of income and employment in US cities find no evidence of positive economic benefits associated with past sports facility construction and some studies find that professional sports facilities and teams have a net negative economic impact on income and employment. It just shows that these results suggest that at best, professional sports teams and facilities provide non-pecuniary benefits like civic pride, and a greater sense of community, along with consumption benefits to those attending games and following the local team in the media; at worst, residents

National Hockey League was established as a non-profit entity in 1917 by 26 teams to govern the league. They had been very successful over the past 75 years with very little exposure. They have thrilled fans and provide financial returns for their owners. Their primary goal is to take hockey to a next level and makes it more popular. They are not worried about competition and are only concerned with overall growth for the sport, the owners, the players and the fans. Due to a recent labour dispute, all the NHL stakeholders lost a lot of money and this coupled with the need to increase the audience let to a lot of confusion between decision makers about what means to choose for creating exposure.

This week has been totally crazy. At the beginning of it, my best friend Aby got a job writing songs at Hi or Hey records. Then, after a year singing at the hottest clubs in Los Angeles, I got called in to sing for Five Seconds to Summer to see if I would get a record deal.
