Perth Arena is a multi-purpose indoor venue being built for hosting entertainment and sports events. It is set to have a capacity of 5000 to 14000 people, depending on the type of event. The initial cost was estimated to be $160 million and was scheduled to be in operation by January 2009. Currently, the revised estimates changed the cost to $483 million and the project delivered by November 2011. The primary reason for cost miss-management and major project delays, was linked to the poor governance framework of the agencies involved.

The Voting Rights Act is tokenism in that it did not really empower minorities. Although it is true that the act did create some positive impacts on minorities such as increasing the number of minority officials, its positive impact is constantly undermined by efforts from both the Republican party and sometimes from the Supreme Court that aimed at suppressing minorities votes. One example is the Republican’s framing of voter fraud and their attribution of the cause to minorities when voter fraud is almost non-existent. Another example is the decision of Shaw V. Reno (1993), the ruling of which started the application of what’s called the “strict scrutiny” standard that basically gave nod to white majority voting districts by considering any

Three full-size basketball courts and volleyball courts will highlight the main floor of The Premiere Courts.

The new home of the NBA Sacramento Kings has attracted a plethora of attention in its construction. But what makes this structure so special to catch people's eyes all over the world? The structure has yet to be completed, but a lot is expected of this $507 million project, by which the Kings provided $284 million and the city of Sacramento, with $223 million by selling bonds and funds for economic development. The city managed to acquire the funds even through all the controversy of the city misusing its funds and some claiming that the amount provided was not what they were informed. It seems that the Kings won’t be the only ones balling in Sacramento. Hopefully for the city, the opposants will reduce or switch over to welcome the estimated 1.6 million attracted visitors to Downtown Sacramento, where the project will be placed. Luckily for all those visitors, the parking lot was also planned to expand from the 7,000 spots to 13,500.

What makes this building unique is that it houses two full-sized college basketball courts, over forty-five years of turf with a 300-yard track surrounding both the turf and two courts.

Spending on the construction of new sports facilities grew at a staggering rate post 2007. A total of 13.4 billion is being spent on around 81 arenas and other major as well as minor sport facilities in and around the U.S. at least through 2010. The association of exceedingly high cost has put the subject of public financing of new stadiums and playing arenas under exceptional examination. The development of another stadium or playing arena is a costly job which these days can often surpass a few hundred million dollars. In the pre-1990 's period the vast majority of the sports facilities were for the most part supported through public financing, however with the progression of time as the financing prerequisites for developing new sports facilities grew, so did the financing techniques. Public financing for major sports arenas is mainly done by heavily subsidizing the construction process of these stadiums. The main argument of local governments favoring the use of tax payers ' money for construction of sports facilities is that these facilities will better the entire area and city as a whole. The main sources of public financing for building new sports facilities include; sales taxes, general obligation bonds, beneficiary taxes, tax increment bonds, revenue bonds and proximity taxes.

USTA, which has 750,000 members, expects this facility to be a principal focus of its organization. In addition to fortifying the next generation of players and coaches, this complex could host a range of events, from junior and USTA league championships to Challenger-level tournaments to Davis Cup and Fed Ex Cup ties. USTA representatives were contacted in an attempt to obtain estimates of potential visitation by both athletes and spectators for events at the training center. However, they would not divulge this information. Press releases about the project have indicated visitation to the facility could generate approximately 50,000 hotel room nights

While many people disapprove of publicly financing sports facilities, Chesapeake Energy Arena is one scenario in which the construction of the stadium has time and time again proved to be a sound public investment. Since the Thunder relocated from Seattle to Oklahoma City, the franchise is widely viewed as a major component of the city’s resurgence. The construction of Chesapeake Energy Arena was part of a large civic redevelopment that took more than 20 years to complete. Ballots tallied from a vote taken on December 14, 1993 passed with 54 percent (Moser, 2013).

Logically, long-term leases allow for long-term financial planning and that depending on the terms of the lease which will also allow the company to calculate the rental expenses over the long-run. Since the interest expenses are increased every year, thus, the company should act towards being highly leveraged. The company forecasted growth rate would

Things such as the stadium, players, and coaches are a few of the major fixed costs that are necessary for a team to exist. These costs are paid no matter what, regardless of whether there is any revenue. If a team tends to follow an unsuccessful track, the interest of the consumer deteriorates and potential revenue is lost along with it. With a negative ATC and MC linked to the marginal revenue, a franchise reaches a point where it can no longer produce at a loss, forcing the owner to seek for a new market of

On June 26, 2015, Obergefell v. Hodges was decided, and same-sex marriage would be legalized throughout the United States. President Barack Obama promptly called the plaintiff, Jim Obergefell, to congratulate him and his partner on their legal victory:

Lastly, the potential revenue of a sports stadium cannot be ignored. The sports stadium can host many events, aside from athletic events. Parties and graduations can be hosted there. Blood drives and awareness-raising events also. Teams looking to use the sports stadium to host their home games will pay good money to compete in a showy environment. Reputation and display holds weight in sports. Then you need to take into account all the fans. A small fee to enter and view the event can go towards the maintenance of the stadium and to the possible expansion of the stadium as
