Sports Facility Reports, Volume 7, Appendix 1 Major League Baseball Team: Arizona Diamondbacks Principal Owner: Jeffrey Royer, Dale Jensen, Mike Chipman, Ken Kendrick, Jeff Moorad Year Established: 1998 Team Website Most Recent Purchase Price ($/Mil): $130 (1995) Current Value ($/Mil): $305 Percent Change From Last Year: +7% Stadium: Chase Field Date Built: 1998 Facility Cost (millions): $355 Percentage of Stadium Publicly Financed: 71% Facility Financing: The Maricopa County Stadium District provided $238 M for the construction through a .25% increase in the county sales tax from April 1995 to November 30, 1997. In addition, the Stadium District issued $15 M in bonds that is being paid off with stadium-generated revenue. The remainder was paid through private financing; including a naming rights deal worth $66 M over 30 years. Facility Website UPDATE: Between the 2005 and 2006 seasons, the Diamondbacks added a new $3.3 M LED display board to Chase Field. The board is the largest LED board in Major League Baseball. The Diamondbacks also upgraded the Chase Field sound system and added two high-end, field level suites. The changes were paid for by a renewal and refurbishment account, which was created when the ballpark was built. Maricopa County and the Diamondbacks both contribute to the account. NAMING RIGHTS: On June 5, 1995, the Arizona Diamondbacks entered into a $66 M naming-rights agreement with Bank One that extends over 30 years, expiring in 2028, and averaging a yearly payout of $2.2 M. In January 2004, Bank One Corporation and J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. merged and announced they were fazing out the Bank One brand name. In 2005, the name was changed from Bank One Ballpark to Chase Field. © Copyright 2006, National Sports Law Institute of Marquette University Law School Page 1 Team: Atlanta Braves Principal Owner: Time Warner Year Established: 1876 Team Website Most Recent Purchase Price ($/Mil): $12 (1976) Current Value ($/Mil): $405 Percent Change From Last Year: +6% Stadium: Turner Field Date Built: 1996 Facility Cost (millions): $235 Percentage of Stadium Publicly Financed: 100% Facility Financing: The original stadium was built for the 1996 Summer Olympics at a cost of $209 M. After the games, it was converted into a 50,000-seat baseball stadium for the Braves. The Braves paid for the conversion. Facility Website UPDATE: Time Warner has a deal in the works to sell the Braves to Liberty Media, but no final agreement has been reached. Time Warner broke off talks with all other bidders in April 2006. In April, the sides supposedly had reached a rough agreement whereby Time Warner would transfer the Braves and cash to Liberty in exchange for 107 million shares of Time Warner stock held by Liberty. Time Warner reportedly wants the stock back and Liberty wants rid of it. The deal has been held up because of tax complications surrounding the transaction. As of August 2006, the sides were still negotiating. NAMING RIGHTS: In September 1996, Time Warner Chairman Gerald Levin announced that he planned to name the Braves' new stadium for Ted Turner after his company's merger with Turner Broadcasting System. The decision disappointed many fans in Atlanta who had hoped that the stadium would be named after legend Hank Aaron or former mayor Ivan Allen Jr. By naming the stadium after Turner, Time Warner gave up at least $3 M a year in potential naming rights revenue. Team: Baltimore Orioles Principal Owner: Peter Angelos Year Established: 1953 Team Website © Copyright 2006, National Sports Law Institute of Marquette University Law School Page 2 Most Recent Purchase Price ($/Mil): $173 (1993) Current Value ($/Mil): $359 Percent Change From Last Year: +5% Stadium: Oriole Park at Camden Yards Date Built: 1992 Facility Cost (millions): $210 Percentage of Stadium Publicly Financed: 96% Facility Financing: Financed with $137 M in lease revenue bonds and $60 M in lease revenue notes issued by the stadium authority. The debt is being repaid from revenue generated by special sports themed lottery tickets. The remaining costs were covered with cash that accumulated in the lottery fund since it was established in 1988 to finance sports stadiums. The team contributed $9 M for construction of skyboxes. The Maryland Sports Authority spent $1.5 M on improvements in 1998. Facility Website UPDATE: On March 31, 2005, Major League Baseball and Peter Angelos agreed on a compensation package to offset the effect of the Expos, now the Washington Nationals, relocation to Washington D.C. In the agreement, MLB guaranteed a selling price for the Orioles franchise of at least $365 M if Angelos decides to sell the team. Therefore, if the team accepts an offer for less than $365 M, MLB will have to pay the difference. Additionally, the Orioles will have majority control of the newly created Regional Sports Network (RSN). This network will broadcast Orioles games as well as Nationals games. Furthermore, if yearly gross revenues fall below $130 M, MLB will have to pay the Orioles the difference. NAMING RIGHTS: In September of 2001, The State Board of Public Works amended its lease with the Orioles giving the team the authority to enter into a naming rights agreement. As of June 2006, the Orioles have not entered into a corporate naming rights agreement for their stadium. Team: Boston Red Sox Principal Owner: John Henry, Larry Lucchino & Tom Werner Year Established: 1901 Team Website Most Recent Purchase Price ($/Mil): $700 (2002) Current Value ($/Mil): $617 Percent Change From Last Year: +10% Stadium: Fenway Park Date Built: 1912 Facility Cost (millions): $.420 Percentage of Stadium Publicly Financed: 0% Facility Financing: The cost of constructing the stadium was funded entirely with private © Copyright 2006, National Sports Law Institute of Marquette University Law School Page 3 money. Facility Website UPDATE: Following the 2005 season, historic Fenway Park underwent renovations. The renovations resulted in 1,002 seats being added to Fenway Park. 1,327 old seats were removed and replaced by 2,329 new seats. As part of the renovations the .406 Club behind home plate was also removed and replaced by the EMC Club and the Home Plate Pavilion Club. The renovations also included a new sound system and changes in signage. NAMING RIGHTS: Former Boston Globe owner General Charles Henry bought the team for his son John Taylor in 1904. After changing the name from the Pilgrims to the Red Sox in 1907, Taylor announced plans to build a new ballpark in 1910. Taylor called the new ballpark Fenway Park because of its location in the Fenway district of Boston. There are no current plans to change the name of Fenway Park. Team: Chicago Cubs Principal Owner: Tribune Company Year Established: 1876 Team Website Most Recent Purchase Price ($/Mil): $21 (1981) Current Value ($/Mil): $448 Percent Change From Last Year: +12% Stadium: Wrigley Field Date Built: 1914 Facility Cost (millions): $.250 Percentage of Stadium Publicly Financed: 0% Facility Financing: The entire cost of the ballpark was privately funded by restauranteur Charles H. Weeghman. Facility Website UPDATE: In April 2005, the Cubs and Chicago city officials agreed on a plan to expand Wrigley Field. The expansion was completed in time for the beginning of the 2006 season. The $13.5 M expansion resulted in the addition of nearly 1800 new bleacher seats, a 100-seat restaurant overlooking center field, and a year round five-story building and parking garage west of the field that will house retail stores, another restaurant and 400 parking spaces. NAMING RIGHTS: Originally known as Weeghman Park, Wrigley Field was built on grounds once occupied by a seminary. The ballpark became known as Cubs Park in 1920 after the Wrigley family bought the team. In 1926, the ballpark was named Wrigley Field after William Wrigley Jr., the club's owner. © Copyright 2006, National Sports Law Institute of Marquette University Law School Page 4 Team: Chicago White Sox Principal Owner: Jerry Reinsdorf Year Established: 1900 Team Website Most Recent Purchase Price ($/Mil): $20 (1981) Current Value ($/Mil): $315 Percent Change From Last Year: +20% Stadium: U.S. Cellular Field Date Built: 1991 Facility Cost (millions): $150 Percentage of Stadium Publicly Financed: 100% Facility Financing: The Illinois Sports Facilities Authority issued $150 M in bonds for the land and the construction of the new stadium. A 2% hotel tax levied on Chicago hotel services the debt. Facility Website UPDATE: At the beginning of the 2006 season, the Phase V renovation was complete. Phase V features a 15,000-square-foot baseball and softball skills instruction area for kids located above the left field concourse. The area is known as FUNdamentals, and remains open during the game. Phase V also included the addition of a 314-seat "Scout" seating area, which provides its ticket- holders with access to a private restaurant and lounge, service from private staff, and reserved parking, as well as behind-the-scenes views of the ballpark's inner workings. Additionally, Phase V included the installation of forest green seats to the entire ballpark, replacing the blue seats that currently exist. NAMING RIGHTS: On January 31, 2003, U.S. Cellular and the Chicago White Sox agreed to a 20-year, $68 M naming rights deal. © Copyright 2006, National Sports Law Institute of Marquette University Law School Page 5 Team: Cincinnati Reds Principal Owner: Robert Castellini Year Established: 1869 Team Website Most Recent Purchase Price ($/Mil): $270 for 70% (2006) Current Value ($/Mil): $274 Percent Change From Last Year: +8% Stadium: Great American Ball Park Date Built: 2003 Facility Cost (millions): $290 Percentage of Stadium Publicly Financed: 90% Facility Financing: The Reds contributed $30 M toward construction of the stadium.

    Testimony of Gene Kimmelman, Senior Director for Advocacy and Public Policy, Consumers Union

    Testimony of Gene Kimmelman, Senior Director for Advocacy and Public Policy, Consumers Union Before the Antitrust, Competition Policy and Consumer Rights Subcommittee of the Senate Judiciary Committee On News Corp./DirecTV Merger June 18, 2003 Washington Office 1666 Connecticut Avenue, N.W. Suite 310 • Washington, D.C. 20009-1039 (202) 462-6262 • fax (202) 265-9548 • http://www.consumersunion.org SUMMARY Consumers Union1 welcomes this opportunity to testify before the Senate Antitrust, Competition Policy and Consumer Rights Subcommittee regarding the proposed merger between the News Corporation (“News Corp.”) and Hughes Electronics Corporation’s satellite television unit DIRECTV (“DirecTV”). Given the current concentration in the media marketplace, as well as the further concentration that will result from the Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC’s) recent relaxation of media ownership rules, we believe that the proposed merger between network and cable giant News Corp. and DirecTV, the largest direct broadcast satellite (DBS) service provider, will further increase prices for consumers and decrease the diversity of voices in the media marketplace. Today, consumers are not receiving the fruits that a competitive cable and satellite marketplace should deliver, and consumers are likely to suffer further harm if antitrust officials do not impose substantial conditions on the proposed deal between News Corp. and DirecTV. Since passage of the 1996 Telecommunications Act, cable rates have risen over 50%,2 and FCC data show that satellite competition is not creating downward pressure on cable rates. Despite the promise for more diversity from new technologies such as the Internet and satellite, a mere five media companies control nearly the same prime time audience shares as the Big Three networks did 40 years ago.3 Unfortunately, the market for news production and distribution is becoming more concentrated.

Vogel, Chair Professor John Zysman Professor T.J. Pempel Professor Stephen Cohen Fall 2010 Abstract Inside the Castle Gates: How Foreign Companies Navigate Japan‘s Policymaking Processes by Kenji Erik Kushida Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science University of California, Berkeley Professor Steven K. Vogel, Chair Multinational corporations (MNCs) are at the heart of today‘s global economy, but their effects on the politics of advanced industrialized countries have not been studied systematically. This dissertation analyzes the case of Japan, a country most likely to reveal foreign MNCs‘ influence. Japan developed for most of its history with an extremely low presence of foreign MNCs, but it experienced a dramatic influx from the mid-1990s, particularly in long-protected sectors at the core of its postwar development model of capitalism. The dissertation explains an observed divergence in the political strategies of foreign MNCs in Japan—disruptive challenges to existing policymaking processes and norms of government-business interactions, versus insider strategies, in which MNCs worked within established organizations and prevailing modes of policymaking.

    Administration of Donald J. Trump, 2019 Remarks Honoring the World Series Champion Washington Nationals November 4, 2019 The President. Well, thank you very much, everyone. I have to say, this is a record. We've never had this many people on the front lawn of the White House. So congratulations. Just another record for the Nats. But today the First Lady and I are thrilled to welcome to the White House the 2019 World Series Champions, the Washington Nationals. For the first time in nearly 100 years, our Nation's Capital is celebrating a World Series victory. That's big stuff. The last time Washington, DC, was home to the World Series champs, the President was a gentleman named Calvin Coolidge. That's a long time ago. Nearly a century later, the Nationals have brought back the trophy to America's Capital, and you've won it. This is the first World Series in franchise history, and it's going to be, really, the first of many, I predict. I want to congratulate the terrific owners of the team. Your principal owner, Mark Lerner, and Ted Lerner. Great people. The Lerner family. A man who's become very famous—I think he's much more famous than me right now— General Manager Mike Rizzo. You have become very famous, huh? General Manager and President of Baseball Operations Mike Rizzo. Thank you, sir. The President. A manager—and you watch all the mistakes made in baseball and other sports, and then you watch what this man did as manager. He didn't make any.
