CITY COUNCIL REPORT MEETING DATE: 09/11/2018 SUBMITTED FOR: Tom Duensing, Assistant City Manager DEPARTMENT: City Manager's Office Subject GILA RIVER ARENA FISCAL YEAR 2017-2018 OVERVIEW Presented by: Tom Duensing, Assistant City Manager Guest Presenter: Chuck Steedman, AEG Facilities, Chief Operating Officer Guest Presenter: Dale Adams, AEG Facilities, Gila River Arena General Manager Purpose and Recommended Action The purpose of this presentation is to provide the Fiscal Year 2017-2018 summary of activities at the Gila River Arena. Background The City of Glendale is the owner of the Gila River Arena (Arena) located at 9400 West Maryland Avenue in the heart of the Sports and Entertainment District. This state-of-the-art, multi-purpose facility and was opened for business on December 26, 2003. Gila River Arena is home to the National Hockey League’s Arizona Coyotes. Additionally, the Arena hosts concerts with some of the biggest names in the music industry and other events and has a seating capacity of approximately 18,000. Through a competitive Request for Proposal (RFP) process, AEG Facilities, operating as AEG Management Glendale, LLC, was selected to manage the Arena on the City’s behalf in April 2016. AEG Facilities is a stand-alone division of AEG that owns, operates and consults with more than 100 venues worldwide including the KeyArena in Seattle; the Staples Center in Los Angeles; the Barclays Center in Brooklyn; the Mercedes Benz Arena in Berlin, Germany; the O2 Arena in London, England; and the recently completed T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Management of the Gila River Arena by AEG Facilities began on July 1, 2016 for Fiscal Year 2016-2017 with the contract approved through June 30, 2026 (Fiscal Year 2025-2026). Management responsibilities include sales, marketing, operational, managerial, and maintenance support services for the Arena and the ancillary Arena parking facilities controlled by the City. Particularly, AEG Facilities is responsible for the agreement with the Arizona Coyotes and secures other musical acts and events in order to fully utilize the facility. The terms of the agreement include annual management fee payments of $5.6 million to fund the operations of the facility. These payments are then offset by a distribution of year end operating revenue less operating expenses, or EBITDA. This “profit-sharing” arrangement was estimated to generate $837,014 payable to Glendale at the end of Fiscal Year 2017-2018, the most recently completed fiscal year. Actual profit-sharing data for Fiscal Year 2017-2018 is not yet available. Analysis Fiscal Year 2017-2018 Recap Fiscal Year 2017-2018 was AEG’s second year managing the Gila River Arena. Again, the overall activity exceeded initial estimates. The number of concerts increased, and total gross ticket sales and paid attendance were the highest since the 2009 season. Key factors in the success of last year were support from AEG Presents properties as well as the return of WWE, UFC, and new events such as Stars on Ice and ACE ComicCon. Another record breaking year from PBR and the addition of Pepe Aguilar and Gloria Trevi and Alejandra Guzman helped drive sales and attendance. Since arriving in July of 2016 AEG has booked 69 events and has steadily increased the event load each year. Currently the Arena has 21 events booked for the 2018-2019 Fiscal Year. Although the City owns Gila River Arena and therefore is responsible for the Arena capital investments, AEG works very closely in development of an annual capital budget and a long-term capital plan for the facility. In Fiscal Year 2017-2018, the City appropriated a capital budget totaling $500,000. Capital projects included technology improvements and also focused on enhancing the security of the venue along with production support items meant to upgrade and enhance the customer experience.
