The rise in popularity of professional sports over the last century has brought financial gain and stability to many facets of the economy. Whether it is a new franchise, stadium, or the signing of a big-name player, these activities bring attention to a region or group and influence often comes as a result of that attention. Money brought into an area from ticket revenue, hotel bookings, merchandise sales, and other businesses are impacted financially when a stadium is built. The economic influence a stadium brings to a local economy is a positive one. Many factors come into play when anticipating the construction of a new stadium.

Stadiums to Parks; Arenas to Lanes; Coliseums to Fields. A football team is associated with their home. It’s where the fans pile in week in week out, friends and families alike. It’s where they live their Saturday afternoons and where they worship their heroes on the pitch. It’s a social hub and a sanctuary. But where is the Kia nightclub or the Betfred Mosque. With almost half the stadiums in the

Today, transport and the financial power of football has completely transformed the game. Aeroplanes have allowed world cups; internationals and the champion’s league take place and technology wise, the new goal line technology and 3G pitches are being introduced. The media also acts as a super power in football with both sky and BT sports dominating the media world of football. This is all been possible due to the money in football and the business men involved. Billions of pounds are in football and this is what attracts the best football players to certain places in the world. Recently Gareth Bale was sold for £90 million which just shows how much money the top players can be sold for. The money has also allowed for some of the most impressive stadiums in the world such as the the Camp Nou which holds 100,000 people. Clearly football has changed drastically since the

If I were in charge I wouldn’t spend millions on a new stadium, I would put the money to useful things around the city. The old stadium isn’t that old, everything

Although, the case study of Manchester United gives us a good example of a brand’s ability to globalize, it does not give us a clear picture into how a league as a whole accomplishes these same goals. To get this clear picture of a successful global soccer league we can review a case study by Matthew Holt that examines the UEFA Champions League and its ability to succeed. The UEFA Champions League(UCL) was established after the UEFA European cup started to see more revenue increases based on the increase in television and digital technologies. (Holt, 2007) The goal of the UCL was to increase revenue through a newly structured European club soccer league. The first way that UCL accomplished this was through centralized marketing. This was accomplished through selling the television rights as the UCL brand rather than allowing the clubs to individually sell the rights to the games. This increased the value of the television rights and in turn increased the profitability of the clubs. (Holt, 2007) UEFA sold this UCL brand

For decades, the National Football League has entertained Americans. Through this organization, football has quickly become one of our nation’s greatest pastimes. With exploration of the league, expansion teams are becoming a more popular idea. Which means, not only us, but also our brothers across the pond may soon share our excitement every Sports Sunday in the very near future. Although this would be the NFL’s first international team, it would not be their first international game. Exploration into the United Kingdom has come with some logistical problems but with NFL executives having board meetings regularly, there is a possibility to have a team in London as early as 2022.

The controversy between the owners and players concerning how to account the expenses is crucial to understand if the company could be profitable and then able to meet players’ requirements. In this case three problems are under the scrutiny of the arbiter: roster depreciation, player compensation and the transfer pricing of related party operation, thus issues regarding the stadium cost. Players and owners are struggling against each other in order to win the bargain trying to force and emphasize their own reasons. Since they have not reached an agreement yet, a super-partes moderator has been asked to figure out the outcome of the bargain, relying on good and rational

Soccer may be the world's’ most popular sport, yet this isn't the case in North America. MLS franchises have traditionally targeted the young family demographic. One of the major issues with this approach is that these families typically only go to one or two games per year. Focusing too heavily on this demographic partially shows why MLS is having a hard time turning a profit.

Besides all these, the stadium rents were set to understate the profits of the club and to move some profits to the stadium corporation. The rest of their accounting is very straightforward. Most of

In this assignment I will be exploring the ways in which Internal and external factors have an impact on the core revenues of Clubs and how clubs themselves can potentially help put the factors in their favour. Topics such as Fans and their behaviour and Player conduct on and off the pitch will be explored. Things that can occur which clubs have little or no power over – such as a major political shift – which can affect a clubs income will also be covered.

Tottenham is part of a stable industry where the demand is inelastic due to enormous fan following and is the number one sport followed all over the U.K. People either go to stadiums or watch the matches on the television.

With normative stakeholder theory one tries to explain (in these settings) why football clubs should take into account the interests of the stakeholders. It is easy to sympathize with the customer group in this matter. They are the foundation stone that has built the club through the years and they have invested money, emotions and their private time. But they are not as important as they once was for the club. This given that another stakeholder group (Suppliers e.g. broadcasting companies, sponsors etc.) now serves the business with monetary funding’s, hence the times have changed. Ultimately though, the suppliers will almost certainly vanish if the customers stop buying the product. Shareholders and employees can easier than the customers in this case find another business to join, they are not exclusive in the same way as the customers.
