    THE EFFECT OF GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION ON NHL TEAM REVENUE A THESIS Presented to The Faculty of the Department of Economics and Business The Colorado College In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Bachelor of Arts By J. Matthew Overman May/20l0 THE EFFECT OF GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION ON NHL TEAM REVENUE J. Matthew Overman May, 2010 Economics and Business Abstract This study attempts to explain the effect geographical location has on a National Hockey League (NHL) team's revenue. The effect location has will be compared to other determinants of revenue in the NHL. Data sets were collected from the 2006-2007 and the 2007-2008 seasons. Regression results were analyzed from these data sets. This study found that attendance, city population, and win percentage has a positive and significant effect on revenue.

Haluska March 2010 MIDDLEBURY COLLEGE ECONOMICS DISCUSSION PAPER NO. 10-11 DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMICS MIDDLEBURY COLLEGE MIDDLEBURY, VERMONT 05753 http://www.middlebury.edu/~econ 2 A POISSON MODEL FOR “HITTING FOR THE CYCLE” IN MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL by Christopher J. Teves Joseph T. Burchenal Daniel M. Haluska Paul M. Sommers Department of Economics Middlebury College Middlebury, Vermont 05753 [email protected] 3 A POISSON MODEL FOR “HITTING FOR THE CYCLE” IN MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL In a recent article in this journal [1], Campbell et al. showed that the Poisson probability distribution provides an excellent fit to the data on no-hit games in Major League Baseball, especially during the period 1920-1959. Hitting for the cycle (that is, when a batter hits a single, double, triple and home run in the same game) is another rare event in Major League Baseball.1,2 And, here too, the Poisson probability distribution given by e −μ μ x p(X = x) = , x = 0, 1, 2, … x! where x denotes the number of ballplayers who “hit for the cycle” (hereafter a “cycle”) in a given season provides a remarkably good fit. The number of cycles by league from 1901 through 2007 are shown in Table 1 (see http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/history/rare_feats/index.jsp?feature=hit_for_cycle ). Bob Meusel of the New York Yankees hit for the cycle three times in his career (1921, 1922, and 1928).
