Hiram Bithorn Stadium Proposal
The Expedia College Baseball Invitational is the preseason series for college baseball teams to compete at a different site than what teams are accustomed to during their regular season. On February 5th, 6th, and 7th, the Expedia College Baseball Invitational will take place in San Juan, Puerto Rico. This is a three-day series and will be held at the Hiram Bithorn Stadium. The stadium is 325 feet (99 m) along the left side of the field and 325 feet (99m) down the right field line and 404 feet (123m) at center field. At this structure and size, this stadium will provide a great location for the teams that are competing allowing a great venue of entertainment for family, friends, and members within the community. Although the stadium is operated …show more content…
The tournament will be funded through our Title Sponsor (Expedia), Media Partner (Major League Baseball Network), and our secondary partners (Gatorade, Louisville Slugger, Enterprise, Puerto Rico Tourism Board). This event will attract alumni from the participating schools, college baseball enthusiasts, as well as the locals of San Juan, Puerto Rico. We expect around 15,000 people over this three day event which will also help bring in revenue in excess of $220,000 with the possibility for that number grow as more locals hear about the tournament. The teams in the invitational will also be involved in the San Juan community in volunteering service days as well as put on instructional clinics for youth baseball teams in the area. The exposure for the teams being on MLB network will also be another opportunity the players involved to get noticed by scouts and potentially help extend their opportunity to play …show more content…
The Expedia College Baseball Invitational Series can potentially bring in an estimated $425,000. To break down the lump sum, we expect about 15,000 fans to be in attendance over the three day tournament. Each ticket will cost on average $15, which leads us to an expected ticket income of $225,000.00. Under ticket sales will be our broadcast media, which we hope to net around $100,000.00 from the network. The final source of income would be from our sponsors, $100,000.00.

    Case Study Springfield Nor Easters

    From this we can derive that overall, in Springfield (assuming that the sample is representative of the population), 38% of residents do have some interest in baseball, but only 28% of the residents have ever attended a professional baseball game. Out of this only 17% of the population have attended at least one minor-league game in the last 2-3 years, however 39% of the residents would be willing to attend at least one game if a minor league baseball team ever came to Springfield. Insight about grand stand tickets was also collected, indicating that 72% of the population is not willing to pay more than a 10% premium over regular bleacher seats for a grand stand seat, hinting that there may be no opportunity to explore in terms of multi-priced seating. Another insight that can be drawn from the survey is that 81% of those who attend a game would be willing to pay $6 or more on various concessions per person. 56% of those surveyed were female and 66% of those surveyed lived with at least one child between the ages of 5-16, which may indicate that child-ticket pricing may be exploited. In addition, the sequence of questions did follow the typical “qualifying questions, warm-ups, transitions, difficult and complicated questions, and finally, classification & demographics questions”…

    The average high school in Massachusetts holds around 874 students, approximately .002% of the amount of people Fenway Park can hold. Fenway Park can hold 37,949 people, which is about 6% of the population of Boston. The population of Boston is about .01% of the population of Massachusetts, which is around 2% of the USA’s population. The population of the USA is about 60% of North America, and North America is about 7% of Earth’s population.

    Craddock Cup

    The Craddock Cup in its current form should be continued in order to maximize CYSL’s profits. Although it looks as though the Cup is incurring a loss, we need to analyze the relevant and irrelevant costs to truly determine the financial impact of discontinuing the cup. Although total expenses are $53,538, we need to eliminate the irrelevant, or unavoidable, costs when deciding whether the Cup should continue. In this case, the irrelevant, unavoidable costs include Rivaldo’s salary allocated to the tournament ($6,300), the field rental cost for the week ($1,200), and the rent/utilities expense for the Cup ($2,700). When these costs are added, we get $10,200 in sunk costs that cannot be avoided regardless of the continuation of the Craddock Cup. Subtracting these irrelevant costs from the total expenses of the tournament, we get $43,338 in relevant costs. When you subtract these expenses from the revenue generated by the tournament, we end up with a relevant profit of $6,502. This means that the CYSL is making $6,502 more than it would if it eliminated the Craddock Cup. I would therefore recommend that the Craddock Cup be continued.…

    A-Rod Case

    The possibility of signing Alex Rodriguez in 2000 represented a major opportunity for the Texas Rangers. Rodriguez by 2000 and at just 25 years of age had come a long way in his career. Among his triumphs were becoming just the third player to obtain 40 homeruns and 40 base steals in a year and winning the American League homerun record by a shortstop. Besides his success in the field, he had also developed a very broad appeal among the baseball audience. In addition to considering Alex’s career and appeal when deciding to offer him a contract, Tom Hick’s (chairman of Southwest Sports Group), Mike Cramer (president and COO of Southwest Sports Group), and Doug Melvin (general manager of Texas Rangers) had to thoroughly consider the financial implications of doing so. Throughout this paper, I will perform a simulation financial analysis of the projected benefits and expenses resembling the one that the Ranger’s team had to perform in 2000 to reach their final decision. I will take the reader through an analysis of the total incremental revenues that would be generated by incorporating Alex into the Texas Rangers team discounted to reach present value figures. Following the revenue estimation, I will present the total incremental cost projections considering various data presented about Major League Baseball and the Rangers. This numbers will also be discounted to reflect the present value amount. Finally, I will explain the reasons for arriving at my final recommendations.…

    SWU Food and beverage

    Southwestern University (SWU), located 30 miles southwest of the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex, has witnessed tremendous growth in its football program. With that growth, fueled by the hiring of legendary coach Bo Pitterno, has come more fame, the need for a bigger stadium, and more complaints about seating, parking, long lines, and concession stand prices. Southwestern Universitys president, Dr. Marty Starr, was not only concerned about the cost of expanding the existing stadium versus building a new stadium, but also about the ancillary activities. He wants to be sure that these various support activities generate revenue adequate to pay for themselves. Consequently, he wants the parking lots, game programs, and food service to all be handled as profit centers. At a recent meeting discussing the new stadium, Starr told the stadium manager, Hank Maddux, to develop a break-even chart and related data for each of the centers. He instructed Maddux to have the food service area break-even report ready for the next meeting. After discussion with other facility managers and his subordinates, Maddux developed the table below. This table shows the expected percent of revenue by item, the suggested selling prices, and his estimate of variable costs.…

    Cost and Southwestern University

    Southwestern University (SWU), located 30 miles southwest of the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex, has witnessed tremendous growth in its football program (see Southwestern University: A, in Chapter 4). With that growth, fueled by the hiring of legendary coach Bo Pitterno, has come more fame, the need for a bigger stadium, and more complaints about seating, parking, long lines, and concession stand prices (see Southwestern University: C, in Chapter 6). Southwestern University’s president, Dr. Joel Wisner, was not only concerned about the cost of expanding the existing stadium versus building a new stadium, but also about the ancillary activities. He wants to be sure that these various support activities generate revenue adequate to pay for themselves. Consequently, he wants the parking lots, game programs, and food service to all be handled as profit centers.

Also, the in-kind support such as canopies service, venue provider, and free souvenir result in fewer expenses being incurred in the event.…
