  • Math Worksheets
    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.

  • 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.
