INTERNAL FACTORS EXTERNAL FACTORS

STRENGTHS OPPORTUNITIES § Existing book of Arena Business § James Brown Legacy § Georgia Cyber Center § Larger events POSITIVE § Healthcare § Connection to improving downtown § Augusta National Golf Club § Religious market

WEAKNESSES THREATS § Lack of Attractions § Competition from Larger and Newer § Corporate Presence Facilities

NEGATIVE § Access § Renovated Competitors § Existing JBA Size, Quality Regional Drive- Times The city is the economic and cultural center of an area an hour in almost any direction comprising 862,500 people, averaging $52,250 per household annually. Residing within a two-hour drive are 3,189,000, and a three-hour drive captures Atlanta, Charlotte, Greenville, Charleston and Savannah, totaling over 15,000,000. Augusta is the largest urban complex within a one-hour drive-time of downtown. Four-lane highways bring long-distance travelers from Atlanta, Columbia, Macon, Savannah by way of Statesboro. Direct high-speed access from the Greenville and Uplands region and Charleston area is hampered by an outdated two-lane road network, and thus, Interstate 20 is the only true long- distance highway through Augusta. 21 Population Distribution

The Southeastern U.S. is not known for large cosmopolitan centers outside of Atlanta and Charlotte, however, as this nighttime light-sensitivity map illustrates, cities and towns cover the landscape, and the combined rural and mid-sized urban populations are far more substantial than it generally gets credited by outsiders. Many of the cities on this map are experiencing rapid growth, especially the larger urban areas, yet their growth is “flying under the radar" of national awareness. The television markets of Georgia and the Carolinas are show, with Augusta’s market outlined in red. The urban area’s sprawl is evident and appears to be similar in size to Savannah, Macon, and other cities, with room to grow. 22 Regional Competitive Arena Map

HSP identified the regional competitive arenas within a 3-hour drive from the new James Brown Arena. Colonial Life Arena, located roughly 76 miles from the new JBA, is the closest competitive arena. The supply of competitive arenas becomes abundant outside of a 2-hour drive time from the new James Brown Arena. The competitive set consists of an array of arena types such as major city arenas, university arenas and coastal arenas.

Regional Competitors HSP evaluated the regional arena competitive set and narrowed it down to these five regional competitors. HSP believes that these five competitors are by Relevance and the most relevant to the new James Brown Arena due to the type of shows they host, capacity, and markets that they are involved in. The average Capacity capacity for this competitive set is roughly 13,000.

24 Capturable Arena Market

Augusta’s current capturable area is shown in the adjacent map. Nearby arenas with higher quality amenities and larger capacities are pulling from the shared population between the existing arenas.

25 Current Arena Market

The map to the right shows the capturable area of 75% of the attendees to the JBA. Most visitors are heavily clustered within the Augusta area, but a small portion will drive from the southwest where highways are readily accessible.

26 Current Arena Market

The adjacent map indicates the origin of clusters of the top 75 percent of attendees at James Brown arena (show on the previous slide).

27 Capturable Arena Market

Augusta’s new capturable market relative to nearby arenas is shown in the adjacent map. This new capturable area factors in a new arena development.
