    Sports Facility Reports, Volume 10, Appendix 1 Other Football Leagues League: Arena Football League (AFL) LEAGUE UPDATE: The Arena Football League did not play in 2009 and has suspended operations indefinitely. The League's board of directors cancelled the 2009 season citing debt, high expenses, and the need to come up with a long-term plan to improve its economic model. The AFL and its players association completed a new collective bargaining agreement that was supposed to set the stage for a return to play in 2010, but infighting among the owners killed the agreement. The league has been in a downward spiral since long time commissioner David Baker resigned in July 2008. As of August 1, 2009, the league is $14 million in debt and needs $10 to $12 million in capital to play next season. The league's owners were divided into two groups. One that was committed to bring the league back in 2010 and willing to contribute the capital needed to make that happen. The other fraction was unwilling to make the investment and the two sides were not able to come to a consensus. The league officially announced that it had suspended operations on August 4, 2009. The league declared bankruptcy and entered into Chapter 7 liquidation. © Copyright 2009, National Sports Law Institute of Marquette University Law School Page 1 League: Arena Football League 2 (AF2) Team: Albany Firebirds Principal Owner: Walter Robb Team Website Arena: The Times Union Date Built: 1990 Facility Website UPDATE: The feature of arena football in Albany was in serious doubt.

U.S. Postage 67147 OST PAID Vol. 9, No. 4P APRIL 2014 Complimentary copy PROUD OF PACO Tribe awaits ruling on application for casino Wyandotte chief remains hopeful By Matt Heilman The drawn-out issue hasn’t been resolved, but the stalemate could be lifting soon. The Wyandotte Nation of Oklahoma still owns land located on the south side of 77th North between Sedgwick County Fire Station 32 and the former Wild West World property in Park City, and the tribe isn’t giving up plans to build a casino. The U.S. Interior Department is nearing a deci- sion regarding an application by the Wyandotte Nation to take the 10.5 acres into trust for a casino. Wyandotte Chief Billy Friend said he expects the complex matter to at least move forward in the com- ing days, and ultimately he expects the casino to become a reality. The Wyandotte Nation sued the Department of the Interior in July 2011, arguing the department had intentionally delayed processing the application that has been pending in the department since January 2009. “We feel that the facts are the facts and the reason we filed suit was for the delay,” Friend said. In April, a U.S. District Court judge didn’t go Tony Schock/GS Memorymaker as far as to order the Interior Department to accept the Park City land into trust, but she did order the Park City resident Frank Martinez with his son, Wichita Wild Coach Paco Martinez following the Wild’s March 22 home opener at Hartman Arena.

DIXON A Dissertation submitted to the Graduate School-New Brunswick Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in Planning and Public Policy written under the direction of Dr. David Listokin and approved by ________________________ ________________________ ________________________ ________________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey May 2013 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Publicly Owned Single Purpose Stadiums and Multipurpose Arenas: A Comparative Analysis of Economic Characteristics and Use Diversity By STEPHEN J. DIXON Dissertation Director: Professor David Listokin This dissertation examines the economic characteristics and use diversity of publicly owned single purpose stadiums and multipurpose arenas with a major league professional sports team tenant and multipurpose arenas with a minor league sports team tenant for a one year period. The purpose of this research is to ascertain whether differences exist and may be driven by categories of facility type (single purpose stadiums and multipurpose arenas) and tenancy (major league or minor league sports team). Despite a significant body of literature arguing the expenditure of public funds for major league professional sports is not a wise investment, the trend of public subsidization of new and rehabilitated facilities continues. Facilities constructed for minor league sports have not received significant attention. Comparisons of economic characteristics, such as leakage and facility capital cost, and comparisons of use diversity and civic utilization are performed between single purpose stadiums and multipurpose arenas with major league sports tenants.
