© Jones & Bartlett Learning, LLC © Jones & Bartlett Learning, LLC (continued) NOT FORCase SALESTUDY OR DISTRIBUTION NOT FOR SALE OR DISTRIBUTION The Duke University men’s and women’s basketball teams play their home games in Cameron Indoor Stadium, the crown jewel of college basketball. The stadium was originally built in 1935 and was remodeled in the late 1980s. Sports Illustrated ranked the stadium fourth on the list of the country’s greatest © Jones & Bartlett sportingLearning, venues LLC of the twentieth century, ahead© ofJones Pebble Beach,& Bartlett Wrigley Learning,Field, and LLC NOT FOR SALE ORFenway DISTRIBUTION Park. The stadium offers little room for concessionsNOT FOR and SALE no room OR for corporateDISTRIBUTION sponsorships. Stadium capacity is 9,314, with 3,500 of those seats being bleacher seats reserved for students. To say that the stadium is antiquated is an understatement. The Board of Regents thinks a new facility needs to be on par with the other schools in the area; however, they are aware of the public sentiment for Cameron Indoor Stadium. Keep © Jones & Bartlett Learning, LLCin mind that the University of© North Jones Carolina, & BartlettWake Forest, Learning, and North Carolina LLC State all NOT FOR SALE OR DISTRIBUTIONplay in new, modern facilities.NOT FOR SALE OR DISTRIBUTION

Things to Consider

Take into account that the University of North Carolina sits 8 miles away from the Duke © Jonescampus, & Bartlett and North CarolinaLearning, State is aboutLLC 22 miles away. Wake Forest ©University Jones is located & Bartlett Learning, LLC NOT FORabout SALE80 miles away.OR DISTRIBUTIONThe Raleigh–Durham area is full of graduates andNOT fans FOR from these SALE OR DISTRIBUTION and other Atlantic Coast Conference schools who would love to buy tickets and watch their school play against Duke but have been unable to do so because of Cameron’s low seating capacity. Thus, in addition to the opportunity to sell more tickets to its own fans, Duke has the opportunity to sell lots of tickets to visiting teams’ fans. © Jones & Bartlett Learning, LLC © Jones & Bartlett Learning, LLC NOT FOR SALE ORQuestions DISTRIBUTION That Need to be Addressed NOT FOR SALE OR DISTRIBUTION

In determining the fate of the Cameron Indoor Stadium, the following questions must be addressed: •• Who pays? © Jones & Bartlett Learning, LLC•• Who should pay? © Jones & Bartlett Learning, LLC NOT FOR SALE OR DISTRIBUTION•• Who benefits? NOT FOR SALE OR DISTRIBUTION •• How do you finance this project? As an agency hired by the Duke athletic department, the athletic director of the university has asked you to evaluate building a new basketball arena or a complete © Jonesremodeling & Bartlett of the currentLearning, facility. TheLLC athletic director wants you to© take Jones into account & Bartlett Learning, LLC NOT FORthe number SALE of seats OR the DISTRIBUTION arena will hold and the added revenue from NOTcorporate FOR sponsor SALE- OR DISTRIBUTION ship as well as a possible naming rights deal. In theory, a new arena would have many new areas for corporate advertising and hospitality. However, this is debatable because donors might want the new arena to have more of a “campus field house” feel (such as that found in the University of Maryland or Indiana Pacers facilities). © Jones & Bartlett Learning, LLC © Jones & Bartlett Learning, LLC NOT FOR SALE OR DISTRIBUTION NOT FOR SALE OR DISTRIBUTION
