Oak Street, Suite 4000 Fort Collins, CO 80521 Dear Mr. Brown: As you know, Spectra Venue Management (formerly known as Global Spectrum) has successfully operated the Budweiser Events Center (BEC) since it first opened for business in 2003. Prior to the grand opening, Spectra served as the County’s pre-opening operational consultant, working with the architectural and construction teams to ensure that, when completed, the venue would meet all of the County’s goals and objectives with respect to event programming, operational efficiency, bottom-line financial performance, and overall impact on The Ranch and Larimer County economy.

  • Before They Turn Pro: Superstar Attendance Effects in the Ontario Hockey League (2011-2019)
    Before They Turn Pro: Superstar Attendance Effects in the Ontario Hockey League (2011-2019) Austin Lemieux (0300077748) Major Paper presented to the Department of Economics of the University of Ottawa In partial fulfillment of the requirements of the M.A. Degree Supervisors: Professor Pierre Brochu, Professor Louis-Philippe Morin ECO 6999 Ottawa, Ontario July 20th, 2020 Acknowledgments I would like to thank supervisors Pierre Brochu, and Louis-Philippe Morin for their helpful comments throughout my research. Your guidance and passion helped make this paper both enjoyable to write, and gave me an invaluable learning experience that I truly appreciate. [1] Abstract This paper researches superstar player effects on the announced attendance and the probability of a sellout in the Ontario Hockey League for the 2011-2012 to the 2019-2020 regular seasons. Using a rich panel data set of game-level information, I find superstar players have a significant positive effect on the attendance of regular season games. Superstar players are also found to have an economically significant impact on the probability of a sellout, but this latter result is in most cases statistically insignificant. Finally, the superstar effect for sellouts and attendance are seen to change depending on the definition of a superstar, and also if the superstar plays on the home or away team. [2] 1. INTRODUCTION An intriguing topic in the field of sports economics is the study of attendance demand. Investigating which factors influence fans to attend live sporting events has major implications for sports franchises and leagues, local economies, and also further contributes to our understanding of consumer choice.
