    NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE {Appendix 3, to Sports Facility Reports, Volume 17} Research completed as of July 24, 2016 Arizona Cardinals Principal Owner: William Bidwell Year Established: 1898 Team Website Twitter: @AZCardinals Most Recent Purchase Price ($/Mil): $.05 (1932) Current Value ($/Mil): $1,540 Percent Change From Last Year: 54% Stadium: University of Phoenix Stadium Date Built: 2006 Facility Cost ($/Mil): $455 Percentage of Stadium Publicly Financed: 76% Facility Financing: The Arizona Sports & Tourism Authority contributed $346 million, most of which came from a 1% hotel/motel tax, a 3.25% car rental tax, and a stadium-related sales tax. The Arizona Cardinals contributed $109 million. The Cardinals purchased the land for the stadium for $18.5 million. Facility Website Twitter: @UOPXStadium UPDATE: Following the previous summer’s ruling from the Maricopa County Superior Court that the rental car tax was unconstitutional, the court has ruled the state must refund the rental car tax previously collected. The refunds could cost the State approximately $160 million. This would likely reduce the funding the Arizona Sports and Tourism Authority receives from the State to use toward debt payments on the University of Phoenix Stadium. In June 2016, the University of Phoenix Stadium upgraded the sound system throughout the arena. Featuring state-of-the-art technology, the upgrade was funded by the Arizona Cardinals. © Copyright 2016, National Sports Law Institute of Marquette University Law School Page 1 On January 11, 2016, the University of Phoenix Stadium hosted the 2016 College Football Playoff National Championship Game. This event provided an estimated total economic impact of $273.6 million for the State of Arizona.

  • Ehemaliger Giants Coach Jim Fassel Im Alter Von 71 Jahren Verstorben
    Ehemaliger 49ers, Saints LB Haralson stirbt mit 37 Jahren Parys Haralson, ein ehemaliger Linebacker der San Francisco 49ers und der New Orleans Saints, ist tot. Er wurde lediglich 37 Jahre alt. Die 49ers gaben den Tod von Haralson am Montag bekannt. Einzelheiten wurden nicht genannt. Haralson war auch zwei Jahre lang Direktor für Spielerverpflichtungen in San Francisco. “Parys war ein geliebtes Mitglied unserer Organisation, der das Leben mit einer außergewöhnlichen Menge an Leidenschaft und Freude gelebt hat, während er bei jedem, der ihm begegnet ist, eine unauslöschliche Spur hinterlassen hat”, sagte das Team in einer Erklärung. “Wir sprechen Parys Familie und seinen Angehörigen unser Beileid aus.” Haralson spielte College-Basketball in Tennessee, bevor er von San Francisco in der fünften Runde des NFL Drafts 2006 ausgewählt wurde. Er erzielte 21 Sacks. Haralson bestritt 118 NFL Spiele, darunter 88 Starts. Er kam auf 380 Tackles, 28 Sacks, fünf Fumble- Recoveries, drei erzwungene Fumbles und fünf abgewehrte Pässe. Patriots – Dreifacher SB Champ David Patten stirbt mit nur 47 Jahren Der ehemalige NFL Wide Receiver und dreimalige Super Bowl Champion mit denNew England Patriots, David Patten, ist am Donnerstag im Alter von 47 Jahren bei einem Motorradunfall ums Leben gekommen.

  • 38 Law Firms Pilot Version of Rooney Rule to Boost Diversity in Leadership Ranks
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Caren Ulrich Stacy CEO, Diversity Lab [email protected] 303-520-5899 38 Law Firms Pilot Version of Rooney Rule to Boost Diversity in Leadership Ranks ‘Mansfield Rule’ – the next generation of the Rooney Rule – certifies that law firms consider at least 30 percent women and minority lawyers for significant leadership roles San Francisco, Updated July 10, 2017 – Diversity Lab announced today that it is partnering with 38 of the country’s leading law firms to pilot the Mansfield Rule. Named after Arabella Mansfield, the first woman admitted to the practice of law in the United States, the Mansfield Rule measures whether law firms have affirmatively considered women and attorneys of color — at least 30 percent of the candidate pool — for leadership and governance roles, equity partner promotions, and lateral positions. The Mansfield Rule was one of the winning ideas from the 2016 Women in Law Hackathon hosted by Diversity Lab in collaboration with Bloomberg Law and Stanford Law School. The Mansfield Rule was inspired by the NFL’s Rooney Rule, which was created by the late Dan Rooney in 2003 and is now supported by his son, Art Rooney II, President of the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Rooney Rule requires every NFL team to interview at least one minority candidate for head coach vacancies. In the years following its implementation, the number of minorities hired to fill head-coach roles doubled. New research, which controlled for other factors that may have contributed to this positive outcome, shows that a diverse candidate is about 20 percent more likely to fill an NFL head coaching vacancy during the Rooney era than before the rule was introduced.

  • The Effect of Elite Support on Ballot Referendums for Publicly Financed Sports Stadiums
    University of Pennsylvania ScholarlyCommons CUREJ - College Undergraduate Research Electronic Journal College of Arts and Sciences 3-27-2017 Follow the Leader: The Effect of Elite Support on Ballot Referendums for Publicly Financed Sports Stadiums Samuel Rogers University of Pennsylvania, [email protected] Follow this and additional works at: https://repository.upenn.edu/curej Part of the Social and Behavioral Sciences Commons Recommended Citation Rogers, Samuel, "Follow the Leader: The Effect of Elite Support on Ballot Referendums for Publicly Financed Sports Stadiums" 27 March 2017. CUREJ: College Undergraduate Research Electronic Journal, University of Pennsylvania, https://repository.upenn.edu/curej/213. This paper is posted at ScholarlyCommons. https://repository.upenn.edu/curej/213 For more information, please contact [email protected]. Follow the Leader: The Effect of Elite Support on Ballot Referendums for Publicly Financed Sports Stadiums Abstract Since the 1960s, most professional sports facilities have been financed through a mix of private and public funds. Team owners contribute private capital to the project, but the majority of the funding comes from the taxpayer. These public dollars are drawn from the supplementation of existing taxes, or the creation of new taxes in the cities or surrounding counties where the sports franchise operates, and are usually subject to a public vote. In most cases, local citizens do not support the use of taxpayer dollars to fund professional sports stadium subsidies. Previous research demonstrates that the local politicians and corporate executives who benefit from hosting a professional sports franchise can influence oterv opinion by reframing the tax increases as a means to remain a “major league city,” and by claiming that the economic value of the project will exceed its costs.

Howe, John Publication Date 2012 DOI 10.5070/LR8191027149 Peer reviewed eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California All Four Quarters: A Retrospective and Analysis of the 2011 Collective Bargaining Process and Agreement in the National Football League Chris Deubert* Glenn M. Wong' John Howex The NFL survived the 2011 offseason despite being bombarded by a sports law perfect storm. The National Football League Players Association (NFLPA or the Players) decertified itself as the bargaining representative of NFL players on March 11, 2011, hours before the expiration of the collective bargainingagreement that the NFL and the NFLPA agreed to in 2006 (the 2006 CBA). That night, nine current NFL players and one prospective NFL player, led by New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, filed an antitrust lawsuit against the NFL and its 32 Clubs. The Brady lawsuit was just part of a litigious 2011 in professional football. The NFL responded to the Brady lawsuit with a "lockout." Players could not report to work, Clubs could not have any contact with players and, eventually, games could have been missed. In add- ition to the Brady lawsuit, the Players sought damages related to the NFL's television contracts that allegedly violated the 2006 CBA, retiredplayers fought for their rights in the labor negotiations,and the NFL contended that the NFLPA had failed to bargain in good-faith in a proceedingbefore the NationalLabor Relations Board Associate, Ginsberg & Burgos, PLLC, New York.

  • A Good Article
    Coaching Articles : Eric Musselman File For Coaches Jackson makes Hall of Fame on principle By Roscoe Nance, USA TODAY Los Angeles Lakers coach Phil Jackson heads the 2007 Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame class, which will be inducted Saturday in Springfield, Mass. The group includes University of North Carolina men's coach Roy Williams, Louisiana State University women's coach Van Chancellor, the 1966 Texas Western University men's team, referee Marvin "Mendy" Rudolph and international coaches Pedro Ferrandiz of Spain and Mirko Novosel of Yugoslavia. Jackson, 61, has won nine NBA championships as a coach — six with the Chicago Bulls and three with the Lakers — tying Hall of Famer Red Auerbach's record. He has coached some of the NBA's greatest players, including Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen with the Bulls and Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal with the Lakers. Jackson gets players to buy into his coaching philosophy, which is influenced by Native American and Eastern beliefs. "The great thing about Phil is the way he has handled players," Hall of Famer Magic Johnson said. "He has a different style, too, that old Zen thing. I love him because he never gets too high and never gets too low and always wants to help the guys grow as men. He teaches them basketball and also teaches them outside the sport." One of his more renowned strategies is handing out books for players to read during road trips. "He's trying to get players to see that there's more to life than the NBA and your performance today," said NBA TV analyst Steve "Snapper" Jones.

  • Steelers President Art Rooney II Announces Creation of the Chuck Noll Foundation for Brain Injury Research
    Steelers President Art Rooney II Announces Creation of the Chuck Noll Foundation for Brain Injury Research November 17, 2016 PITTSBURGH – Pittsburgh Steelers team President, Art Rooney II, announced today the establishment of a new foundation, The Chuck Noll Foundation for Brain Injury Research, to support continued research and education regarding brain injuries and treatment of sports-related concussions. The Steelers organization will help launch the foundation with an initial contribution of $1 million. Chuck Noll, for whom the Foundation is named, enjoyed a 23-year coaching career with the Steelers that culminated with his induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1993. Under his leadership, the Steelers became the first team in NFL history to win four Super Bowls. Noll’s commitment to the well-being of his players ultimately led to the development of the ImPACT test (Immediate Post-Concussion Assessment and Cognitive Testing) used by NFL team doctors since 2007, and now internationally used to help monitor concussions for athletes at all levels. ImPACT and ImPACT Pediatric were recently recognized as safe and effective by the FDA, and are the only FDA approved tests to assess cognitive function for suspected brain injury in patients ages 5 to 60. To date, over 12 million athletes and patients have been baselined with these tests. The Chuck Noll Foundation for Brain Injury Research will fund research which it believes is the most promising in the area of sports-related concussions and related conditions. To help best evaluate which research programs to fund, the Foundation will be served by a national medical advisory panel comprised of some of the most renowned neurosurgeons in the Country.
