    MATH WORKSHEETS High School: Read and answer questions 1. The Rockies’ revenue comes from ticket sales, concessions, parking, TV and radio contracts, as well as other sources. The Rockies’ greatest expense is player salaries. In 2019, the Rockies are expected to have an estimated payroll of $145.9 million. In 2018, the Rockies sold 3,015,880 tickets at an average price of about $26 per ticket, for a total ticket revenue of $78,412,880. This means ticket revenue in 2018 was enough to pay for about 53.7% of 2019 player salaries. In 2020, the Rockies estimated payroll is expected to rise to $177.3 million. To help pay for this, the team would like to see if they can generate more revenue through ticket sales. After studying the effects of raising ticket prices, the Rockies estimate that for every $1 decrease in average ticket price, they would sell 100,000 additional tickets in a year. Likewise, for every $1 increase in average ticket price, they would sell 100,000 fewer tickets in a year. The team calculates ticket revenue with the following model: ticket revenue = (number of tickets sold)(price per ticket) Let x = the change in average ticket price, in dollars. Refine the Rockies’ model by defining the number of tickets sold as 3,015,880 tickets minus the estimated decrease in ticket sales per dollar of average ticket price increase, and define the price per ticket as $26 plus the increase in average ticket price. With your refined model, what change in average ticket price results in the maximum increase in ticket revenue? Is the increased ticket revenue enough to keep paying for 53.7% of player salaries in 2020? What other factors influence ticket sales and how might you include them to further refine the ticket revenue model? 2021 MATH DAY MATH WORKSHEETS 2.

UPDATE In May 2003, the Anaheim Angels made history by becoming the first American based professional sports team to be owned by an individual of Latino decent. Auturo Moreno, an Arizona businessman worth an estimated $940 million, bought the Angels for $183.5 million. Moreno, one of eleven children, is the former owner of a minor league baseball team and was once a minority owner of the Arizona Diamondbacks. NAMING RIGHTS The Anaheim Angels currently play at Edison International Field of Anaheim. On September 15, 1997, Edison International entered into a naming-rights agreement that will pay the Angels $50 million over 20 years with an average annual payout of $2.5 million.

  • Case Study: Professional Baseball Stadium Heavy-Traffic Flooring
    Case Study: Professional Baseball Stadium Heavy-Traffic Flooring Coors Field Location: Denver, CO Project Overview: Every year nearly three million fans venture to Coors Field to attend a Colorado Rockies baseball game. Built in 1995, Coors Field is an all brick stadium constructed in the heart of Denver to resemble classic ballparks such as Wrigley Field and Fenway Park. In 2011 the Rockies organization elected to complete a series of improvements to the already highly regarded ballpark. This development effort included the addition of the Camarena Loft, a high-end restaurant located in the right field deck concourse. Complete with high-end natural stone accents and stunning views of downtown Denver flanked by the Rocky Mountains, Camarena Loft offered a unique setting to watch a baseball game. In order to compliment the artistic design of the open air restaurant, the Rockies sought after a decorative flooring system that would not only be aesthetically appealing but also durable enough to withstand heavy traffic within an exterior environment. The installation contractor, Denver Decorative Concrete selected HP Spartacote’s Sparta-Stain™ high performance polyaspartic flooring system after consulting with the Colorado Rockies and the General Contractor, Mortenson Construction of Denver. Installation Specifics: Initially, the existing concrete floor was ground to properly open the concrete for optimal coating adhesion. With the floor prepped, the contractor installed a sand-beige Sparta-Flex® polyaspartic prime coat. A second coat of Sparta-Flex® Clear was then rolled out and two colors of Abstract Dye™ were sprayed directly into the wet coating. The final stage of the application included a high gloss top-coat with HP Spartacoteʼs Sparta-Flex™ clear polyaspartic, complete with Sparta-Grip™ traction additive for a durable finish.

UPDATE On January 4, 2005, team owner Arte Moreno announced that the team would change its name to "The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim." Moreno believes that the name change will allow the team to tap into a larger marketing area in the greater Los Angeles community. Commissioner Bug Selig has approved the name change, but there are pending lawsuits by the city to enjoin the team, requiring the name to remain "The Anaheim Angels." The city sued arguing that the lease precludes the change, while the team argues that by leaving "Anaheim" in the name, the change satisfies the terms of the lease. NAMING RIGHTS In early 2004 Edison International exercised their option to terminate their 20-year, $50 million naming rights agreement with the Anaheim Angels.

    THE STADIUM NEIGHBORHOODS TAD AN URBAN DESIGN STRATEGY FOR STAKEHOLDER DECISIONS Stadium TAD The Stadium Neighborhoods Tax Allocation District...is aligned with the City’s focus on three major areas to promote economic development: 1. Create healthy neighborhoods and quality of life 2. Expand economic opportunity 3. Improve physical infrastructure through an effective public-private partnership The Stadium Neighborhoods Tax Allocation District was created in late 2006 and its basic purpose is to create a major financial incentive that would support the creation of an effective public-private partnership to facilitate the resurgence and redevelopment of the area closest to I-75 and Turner Field by encouraging substantial new development. Stadium TAD The Stadium Neighborhoods TAD is designed: – to revitalize the commercial core of the TAD area on Hank Aaron Drive and Georgia Avenue by creating a pedestrian-friendly, mixed-use neighborhood around Turner Field. – to stimulate the creation of a vibrant community including the neighborhoods of Summerhill, Mechanicsville and extending into Peoplestown and Pittsburgh. The specific opportunity is to use TAD proceeds to fund the construction of public parking decks on land owned by the Atlanta-Fulton County Recreation Authority. This will replace the surface parking lots allowing this land to be redeveloped into a vibrant mixed-use neighborhood.
