  • Effizienzpotenziale Im Strategischen Stadionmanagement Effizienzpotenziale Im Strategischen Stadionmanagement Abschlussbericht Zum UEFA-Forschungsstipendium
    UEFA-Abschlussbericht: Effizienzpotenziale im strategischen Stadionmanagement Effizienzpotenziale im strategischen Stadionmanagement Abschlussbericht zum UEFA-Forschungsstipendium 1 Bayreuth, den 31. März 2016 UEFA-Abschlussbericht: Effizienzpotenziale im strategischen Stadionmanagement Vorwort „Vielleicht sollten wir Spieler einfach zusammenlegen und selbst ein neues Stadion bauen.“ (Stefan Effenberg, 2000) Seit Ende der 1990er Jahre durchlebt die europäische Stadionwelt eine Renaissance. Das Zitat des ehemaligen Spielführers vom FC Bayern München – zur Stadiondiskus- sion in der bayerischen Landeshauptstadt – verdeutlicht dabei überspitzt die wirt- schaftliche Relevanz und finanzielle Problematik von Stadioninvestitionen im Profifuß- ball. Aufgrund der erheblichen Einnahmepotenziale moderner Stadien verglichen mit traditionellen Spielstätten, sind Fußballstadien nicht mehr nur emotional aufgeladene, mitunter nostalgische Orte, sondern Ausgangspunkt für die Entwicklung des europäi- schen Fußballs. Allerdings geht mit den Potenzialen moderner Stadien auch ein er- höhtes finanzielles Risiko einher. Oftmals beobachtbare Überkapazitäten und mithin unzureichende Auslastung der Veranstaltungsstätte sind ein augenscheinliches Indiz ökonomischer Ineffizienz und führen im schlimmsten Fall sogar in den finanziellen Ruin. Es stellt sich deshalb die Frage, welche interdependenten Beziehungen im Sta- dionmanagement vorherrschen, die gezielt zur Erhöhung der „Stadioneffizienz“ ge- steuert werden können. Die vorliegende Forschungsarbeit basiert auf
