The City wanted to investigate the merit of renovating the aging Grayson Stadium versus construction of a new minor league ballpark, and, if Grayson Stadium should prove to be obsolete, how it should be repurposed. Additionally, this study will examine new downtown minor league stadium developments in nearby regions to assess whether they have served as a catalyst for economic development in their areas. This study provides a straightforward analysis that outlines the market opportunity and economic impact of the project to utilize as a tool when discussing potential funding options for the proposed project. OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY Johnson Consulting has undertaken a program of services designed to accomplish the following major objectives: . To analyze the market viability of a proposed multipurpose minor league stadium in Savannah, GA. To quantify the total economic and fiscal impact the proposed stadium will have on the local community, as well as the ability of the stadium to be a catalyst for economic development. In addition to this introduction and methodology review, the report contains the following sections: . Section 3 - Presents an economic and demographic overview of Savannah, GA and the regional market. The information in this section is an essential component in understanding the economic and market framework that will support a new multipurpose stadium. Section 4 – Provides a site analysis of the current Grayson Stadium site and surrounding area as well as best and highest use opportunities for the site, should a new minor league stadium come to fruition. Our analysis utilizes a proprietary site analysis to rank each site based on a number of important factors. Section 5 – Details the historical overview of the South Atlantic League, the Single-A baseball league in which the Savannah Sand Gnats play. This section also includes market demographics of other South Atlantic League teams to compare to Savannah. Section 6 - Includes a case study analysis of four minor league stadiums: NewBridge Bank Park in Greensboro, NC; Fluor Field in Greenville, SC; Joseph P. Riley Jr. Park in Charleston, SC; and Parkview Field in Ft. Wayne, IN. Each case study breaks down the history of the stadium, its funding sources, event demand and, when applicable, program recommendations for the proposed stadium in Savannah, GA. 6 East Monroe Street | Fifth Floor | Chicago, Illinois 60603 | Phone: 312.447.2010 | Fax: 312.444.1125 www.chjc.com | [email protected] Section 2: Introduction & League Overview | DRAFT September 2014 Multipurpose Stadium Market Feasibility Study – Savannah, GA PAGE 2 .

Libraries, airports, museums, arenas, convention centers and ballparks fall into this category of public amenities. Some will debate the merits of each type of asset, but when residents, visitors, local corporations, and newly locating companies seek to visit or reside in a certain market, such amenities are crucial to their interests. Multipurpose stadiums can be catalysts for economic development, if the setting and motivations are aligned for success. Some markets have performed poorly. In these few instances common characteristics are present – a poor site is chosen, political gain is sought, or

    Multi-Use Entertainment Venue Noise/Sound Study and Lighting Discussion Points/Concerns Timing of the Release of the Studies Design incorporated most modern state of the art technology designed to direct sound within the Venue. The studies was performed following completion of the design for an aggressive design/build project schedule. The studies were performed based on the state of the art technology recognizing the urban setting that exists. Current noise/sound study only covers impact of Baseball Activities Most other activities outside of baseball will not utilize the sound system of the Venue. Events such as fireworks and concerts require a separate permit. Option is already being pursued to perform a separate study regarding the Impact of Concerts and Fireworks – challenges include unknowns regarding concert setups that vary based on the show/act, and the design of the Fireworks show, which is not complete Projection of 300 events being held at the Venue is alarming when noise/sound There will be 70 home games (35 fireworks displays), study only accounts for 70 ballgames approximately 3 to 4 concerts the first year. Other events will be smaller in-door events or community oriented or activities that will have significantly less impact than baseball, concerts or fireworks. Multi-Use Entertainment Venue Other Discussion Points/Concerns Traffic Study The study is being finalized for submittal to SCDOT. Upon approval, it will be released and community meetings will be scheduled. The traffic study is being performed by a consultant and pertains to the entire development and not the Venue in isolation. Parking Plan The parking plan for the first year of the Venue is being developed and will be released once complete.
