Internatonal Sports and Entertainment Center

London was placed on the shortlist for the 2012 Olympics and Paralympics host city back in May 2004. The International Olympics Committee (IOC) eventually announced that London had been successful in July 2005 following a large campaign backing the bid. The bid for the games was led by London 2012; ‘a multi-agency stakeholder group, setting the vision and strategic direction for the games’ (Department of Culture, Media and Sport 2012).

Built in the early twenty-first century, the AT&T Center is a large, multi-purpose entertainment arena located in mid-eastern San Antonio, Texas. The AT&T Center serves the entertainment industry in San Antonio. The main reason why this area of San Antonio was picked to house the AT&T Center, was due to the fact that the city was wanting up-build the poorer, east part of the city by providing more jobs by bringing a large entertainment source in. The hope was that the area around the AT&T Center would grow in terms of economy as new restaurants, shops, and the like would open up to serve the thousands of people that would now be coming through the eastern part of town. More job opportunities would also become open due to these new stores and

As a company we have completed several large sports facilities. Of note is the Priefert Pavilion at the South Point Hotel & Casino, which has over 60 professional bowling lanes on the second floor and two 200’x125’ equestrian competition arenas on the ground floor. We also recently completed the Las Vegas Golden Knights NHL team practice facility in downtown Summerlin, which is 146,000 sf and consists of two ice floors built to NHL specifications, a restaurant located

5. Coordinate gym use for practices and games and give final clearance for the use of either the gym or the athletic field.

The town has a track record in failing to get impressive building projects on the ground. In 1994, the council promised citizens an Olympic swimming pool, but after plans proved too costly the Olympic design was reduced to a pool of more modest size, with just three lanes. 22 years on from the original idea however, and the town is still without a swimming

These passages present a discussion about arguments concerning whether or not it would be beneficial for the city of Portland to host the Summer Olympics. This is an important debate because of the potential benefits and drawbacks of hosting the Olympics. The two positions argue whether or not hosting the Olympic games brings prosperity to a city. Both viewpoints have valid claims warranting consideration. For example, evidence suggests that the Olympics increases the amount of tourism during and after the Olympics. In contrast, opposing evidence suggests that tourism will only increased during the games and not afterward. While both sides of the issue have valid points, the viewpoint that Portland should not host the

Unless the country that wins the bid, has a logistically engineered infrastructure already in place. The country will lose lots of money on the games. Olympics infrastructure could be defined by subways, housing, stadiums, arenas, pools, winter skiing courses, ice rinks, bus systems, and anything else necessary for the games. One good example of this is Salt Lake City 2002, they had a logical infrastructure. Not to mention good placing of the winter skiing, bobsled, and skeleton courses. Because of this Salt Lake City spent only $2.5 billion instead of a whopping $18-$51 billion like London, Rio de Genaro, Beijing, and Sochi. Too many of the emerging economic states that have hosted the Olympics have fallen into financial distress. Greece, Rio de Janeiro, and Lake Placid are good examples of places that sustained large amounts of debt. Even though Lake Placid took on great debt, the Olympic facilities are used very often. They are used for ski training, and practice, the housing on site is what some of the U.S. Ski Team (moguls, aerials, and park) use for housing. Although only the A and B team are allowed to use the housing. But it does give happiness back, ‘A recent study showed that before and after the games the people of Rio de Janeiro were exited and satisfied by the games.’

The chart lists; planning, staffing organizing, directing, and controlling and evaluating as important steps in the Management process. To be an effective Community Sports Director, I will have to understand and practice all these management principles. Planning involves preparation and organization for the various events and activities that need to go on in a community. As shown by Garden Grove’s city fee structure, community events often require permits to be filed and fees to be paid. For this particular community, all events are charged “$40.00/hour for necessary services such as traffic control, cleanup, etc.” (Garden Grove, 2015). There is a wide variety of fees associated with putting on a community event and I will have to work with event organizers and members of my community to make sure everyone understands what needs to be done for an event to go on. If the Director of Community Sports Events is not clear and organized, the fees can be complicated and become an unnecessary burden. A $100 fee to have a carnival or parade permit, plus a $15 fee for insurance, plus a $75.00 + $3.00 fee per barricade per day for delivery and pickup of necessary barricades must be planned in Garden Grove and resources need to be planned and available for citizens to reference. As someone in the Administrative level, a.k.a middle level management, I will have employees under

Also by doing that it brought a very high demand architects to the Sun city. It was important that we had these architects in El Paso because if they want people to feel welcome to downtown to the El Paso Chihuahuas games they need to make it a pretty atmosphere. I notice while the El Paso Chihuahuas stadium was being built they started to re pave the sidewalks in downtown, making major renovations to the light fixtures and building in downtown. They needed to do this because they had to make the El Paso community and visitors welcome to downtown. They did not want downtown to have a bad atmosphere like the past because no one would go to the Chihuahuas games because they feel insecure of unpleasant views of downtown. Behind all the scenes of the major renovations of downtown were a very big handful of architects that were helping downtown become a better place. But also within hiring these architects we needed to hire labors to do this kind work. Which gave a lot jobs to the El Paso

I can say that not everyone in the world knows about this issue but maybe a few states. It is the issues that surround the idea for a prestige division 1 college that doesn't have a track because the community around the sports believe that it was right for them to tore up the track so that they can extend other sports team accessories and extending the education aspect for bettering the student’s academics. Nothing is wrong to better the environment for academic’s aspect for an athlete, but the main focus was on the idea of destroying a next sports team home to rebuild and extend for other sports. My only thoughts at the moment was that were they thinking on what the issues would have done for the sports recruiting area and how the athletes

Another important aim was to ensure that the poorest neighborhoods were also profiting from hosting the Games (French, 1997). CODA was in charge of the development of the neighborhoods around the main Olympic venues and were identified as primary benefactors of redevelopment (French, 1997)

Sports construction is blooming in all states of America. According to Aaron Gordon, 101 new sport facilities have been opened in US over the past 20 years. It is estimated that more than $7 billion has been spent on those projects and most of $7 billion come directly from public funding. Those who have positive views believe that sports facilities can spur so much economic growth because of the following reasons. Firstly, building the sport complex creates construction jobs. Secondly, people attending the games can generate new spending in the community and improve local employment. Plus, the team attracts more tourists and companies, which helps increase local spending and jobs. Finally, all this new spending will increase local income that can improve local residents life. However, these arguments have some bad economic reasoning that leads to overstatement of benefits of sport facilities, according to Roger Noll and Andrew Zimbalist. It is really worth to take a deep into what can really makes economic growth. It takes place when a community’s resources such as people, capital, investments and natural resources are used effectively and productively. Building a stadium or arena is good for the host community only if it is the most productive way to make capital investments and use

Hosting the Summer Olympics can be both appealing and pride provoking, but it can also be an arduous undertaking. Planning and preparing for it usually evokes a sense of fear strong enough for bidders to back out, like what the mayor of Boston did in regards to hosting the 2024 Summer Olympics. In response to this, the frantic U.S. Olympic Committee decided to reach out to the city of Los Angeles for help. Although the past two Summer Olympic Games held in Los Angeles have been successful, it is to be considered that the circumstances are much different now compared to how it was before. Therefore, taking on the responsibility as host for the 2024 Summer Olympics is simply not ideal for it could potentially lead to major concerns, including, increase in inconvenience during commutes, a technical displacement of revenues, and the possibility for the public to lose their properties.

Universities are characterized with an extreme sense of pride in both their facilities and their student body. Each year, universities attempt to flaunt their superiority in regards to their peers by erecting larger and more prominent facilities. These facilities ultimately showcase the importance of the university and its desire to become elite. Recreational facilities are no different in this regard. Universities continue to erect larger facilities in hopes of accommodating a growing student population. They also want to better service these students by providing the best equipment to achieve their desired fitness and leisure results. In order for a facilities vision to come to fruition however, a tactical plan must be devised. This comprehensive plan is a broad overview of the facilities purpose, funding requirements, how it will be established, and to whom it will serve. This blueprint helps guide all stakeholder groups involved within the project from inception to completion. The comprehensive plan also describes in detail the aspirations and objectives of the facility. Finally, the plan helps dictate actions such as land use, construction policy, safety issues and more.

      It's a gorgeous early August day. You just want to be outside, regardless of what you are doing. Are you? Nope. You are sitting in your car, stuck in traffic because your evening commute home has tripled in time due to the traffic. This is a common side-effect of hosting the Olympic Games. On the other hand, the influx of people coming into the city does wonders for the local economy. Every few years, countries throw mind-blowing amounts of money at the International Olympic Committee (IOC) for the right to host the Olympic Games, but is it worth it for the country and its citizens? In 2015, Boston was in contention to host the 2024 summer Games, but ultimately lost out to Paris, much to many Bostonians delight. Was their reaction justified, or did they just miss out on a great opportunity?
