  • * Text Features
    The Boston Red Sox Tuesday, April 21, 2020 * The Boston Globe Red Sox will pay full-time employees through May Peter Abraham The Red Sox informed full-time employees Monday that their salaries are guaranteed through at least May 31. The decision was made after Major League Baseball informed teams that commissioner Rob Manfred will suspend uniform employee contracts as of May 1. That gives teams the option to furlough baseball operations employees or cut their salaries because of the COVID-19 pandemic. That includes major- and minor-league managers, coaches, scouts, trainers, and other staff members, about 9,000 in people in all across baseball. “Our clubs rely heavily on revenue from tickets/concessions, broadcasting/media, licensing, and sponsorships to pay salaries,” Manfred wrote in an e-mail to teams, a copy of which was obtained by the Associated Press. “In the absence of games, these revenue streams will be lost or substantially reduced, and clubs will not have sufficient funds to meet their financial obligations.” The Red Sox have declined that option for at least the next six weeks. Based on the team’s 2020 media guide, the Sox have approximately 400 full-time employees, including baseball operations. Various outlets have reported that the Astros, Blue Jays, Braves, Brewers, Cardinals, Cubs, Diamondbacks, Giants, Mariners, Marlins, Phillies, Reds, Rockies, Royals, Tigers, Twins, and White Sox also will continue to pay at least their baseball operations employees. Most of the others are expected to make that commitment in the coming days. Some small-market teams could resort to cost-cutting measures as baseball, like so many other businesses, deals with a lack of revenue due to the game being shut down.

  • Globe Life Field Arlington, Texas
    Globe Life Field Arlington, Texas At over 253,000 ft2 (total area), Keller's soil nail wall is believed to be the largest single permanent soil nail wall in North America. The project The Texas Rangers baseball organization undertook construction of Globe Life Field stadium to replace the existing nearby Globe Life Park. Like Globe Life Park, ground conditions at the new stadium site were within the Woodbine Formation composed of sands, clays, sandstones, shales, and alluvium deposits. Maximum excavation depth was 85 ft. The challenge The project was on an accelerated schedule to be ready for the 2020 baseball season. Fractures in the rock strata, the presence of very dense boulders requiring partial removal, the relatively corrosive nature of the soils, and the rectilinear perimeter wall design presented significant construction challenges. Also, a sanitary sewer located directly adjacent to the north wall impeded soil nail installation. The solution Having completed nearby projects such as AT&T Stadium, Keller was well-equipped to optimize construction methods and the wall design. To alleviate soil nail congestion and crossover at several 90-degree outside wall corners, a hybrid anchored drilled shaft system was used. Automated Motorized Total Stations and Shape Accel Array in-place inclinometers provided continuous real-time horizontal movement monitoring at critical sections during construction. For the north wall, approximately 33,000 ft2 of anchored drilled shafts installed overcame the challenge posed by the sanitary sewer line. Fellow Keller company, Geo-Instruments, was on site providing real-time-monitoring.

  • Open Final Thesis.Pdf
    THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY SCHREYER HONORS COLLEGE DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMICS THE STADIUM SUBSIDY GAME ALEXANDER ELLIS SPRING 2020 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for baccalaureate degrees in Mathematics and Economics with honors in Economics. Reviewed and approved* by the following: Peter Newberry Assistant Professor of Economics Thesis Supervisor Russell Chuderewicz Teaching Professor of Economics Honors Adviser * Electronic approvals are on file. i ABSTRACT This thesis analyzes the strategic situation that allows sports teams in the US to secure large subsidies from cities. Using a simple league model and a two-period subsidy auction model, the paper establishes conditions under which a league will strategically leave viable cities open to extract greater subsidies in the future. That finding is then compared with historical subsidy data for NFL, MLB, NBA, and NHL teams1. To that end, historical data on the largest open markets in each of the Big Four leagues was compiled independently for this paper. However, a regression of subsidies on open market size fails to provide evidence of the relationship predicted by the league and subsidy auction model. Additionally, linear regression shows that metropolitan population explains at most half of the variation in team revenues, contrary to the league model’s assumption that revenues are determined entirely by metro population. 1 NFL, MLB, NBA, and NHL refer to the National Football League, Major League Baseball, National Basketball Association, and National
