To achieve this goal, the company is developing a stadium-specific mobile application that will provide the best user experience. Working out of the Worcester Community Project Center, our main goal was to survey the target population, in order to understand what benefits people are looking for in this mobile application. With over 400 responses to our survey, this information was sorted, analyzed, and relayed to the Worcester Red Sox as to what features they should include in their mobile application. Our data was displayed in the form of a benefit/feature infographic and seven personas that represented the potential users of this mobile application. iii Acknowledgments We would like to express our extreme gratitude to those who have supported our team throughout our project. With challenges due to making our project completely virtual because of COVID-19, our team could not be more grateful for those who aided us in making sure our project was a success. First, we would like to thank our sponsors from the Worcester Red Sox: Bart Harvey, Dan Rea, Steve Oliveira, and Charles Steinberg. Their support and guidance allowed us to complete this project to its fullest potential, providing them with information to further develop a mobile application with the best possible user experience. Additionally, we would like to thank our interviewees and survey-takers for providing us with the data to give the Worcester Red Sox useful information to best design their new mobile application. Finally, we would also like to thank our advisors from Worcester Polytechnic Institute: Professor Purvi Shah and Professor Sarah Strauss. Thank you for your guidance and support during the course of our project. Your assistance, valuable input, and continuous feedback allowed us to bring this project to its utmost potential. iv Authorship Section Author Revisor Abstract Abby O’Sullivan Jerry Perez Acknowledgements Abby O’Sullivan Jerry Perez Executive Summary Billy Duulal Jerry Perez Introduction Billy Duulal, Abby Billy Duulal O’Sullivan, Jerry Perez Background Abby O’Sullivan Jerry Perez “Worcester” Red Sox Jerry Perez Billy Duulal Our Goal Jerry Perez Billy Duulal The Customer Journey Jerry Perez Abby O’Sullivan Persona Development – An Overview Abby O’Sullivan Billy Duulal User Experience Billy Duulal Jerry Perez Methodology Jerry Perez Abby O’Sullivan Methodology Approach Jerry Perez Abby O’Sullivan Interviews Jerry Perez Billy Duulal Benefits and Drawbacks of Interviews Billy Duulal Abby O’Sullivan Interview Participants and Process Abby O’Sullivan Billy Duulal Surveys Abby O’Sullivan, and Jerry Billy Duulal Perez Benefits and Drawbacks of Surveys Billy Duulal Jerry Perez Survey Audiences and Location Abby O’Sullivan Jerry Perez Alternative Methods: Phone Calls and Focus Jerry Perez Abby O’Sullivan Groups Findings- An Overview Abby O’Sullivan Jerry Perez Data Analysis Jerry Perez Abby O’Sullivan Additional Findings Abby O’Sullivan Jerry Perez Future Research Abby O’Sullivan Jerry Perez Conclusion Jerry Perez Abby O’Sullivan References Billy Duulal, Abby Billy Duulal, Abby O’Sullivan, and Jerry Perez O’Sullivan, and Jerry Perez Appendices Billy Duulal, Abby Billy Duulal, Abby O’Sullivan, and Jerry Perez O’Sullivan, and Jerry Perez Appendix H: Personas Billy Duulal Abby O’Sullivan, Jerry Perez v Table of Contents Abstract ..................................................................................................................................................... iii Acknowledgments .................................................................................................................................. iv Authorship .................................................................................................................................................v List of Figures ........................................................................................................................................viii List of Tables............................................................................................................................................ ix Executive Summary ................................................................................................................................. x Introduction.............................................................................................................................................. 1 Background .............................................................................................................................................. 4 “Worcester” Red Sox .......................................................................................................................................... 4 Our Goal .................................................................................................................................................................. 4 The Customer Journey ...................................................................................................................................... 5 Mapping the Customer Journey .........................................................................................................................................................6 Digitizing the Customer Experience ................................................................................................................................................7 The Customer Journey - Ticket Purchase ......................................................................................................................................7 The Customer Journey – Solutions for a Stress-Free Experience ......................................................................................8 The Customer Journey - The FooD Experience ...........................................................................................................................9 Persona Development - An Overview ...................................................................................................... 11 What is Persona Development?

  • Here the Stadium Is Not Complete in Time, We See Two Potential Alternatives
    In 2017, after years of lobbying and planning, the Pawtucket Red Sox announced their move to Worcester, Massachusetts. The WooSox and Worcester announced that Polar Park would be fully emerged into Worcester’s Canal District. From the beginning, this plan was centered on building more than a stadium through a massive redevelopment of the Canal District along with a restructuring of Kelley Square. This undertaking would be funded by the team through lease payments, and the city/state in the development stages. Overall, the stadium is projected to cost approximately $99 million with additional fees around $37.5 million for property acquisition and operating expenses (Kane, 2020). The team is expected to pay $43.4 million while the city is responsible for $56.1 million (Kotsopoulous, 2020). In addition, the Canal District is expected to undergo a massive redevelopment. The plan created by Gilbane-Hunt and AECOM is projected to cost $101 million (Welker, n.d.). This proposal includes a 120,000 square-foot office building in left field with retail and restaurant space; two hotels; and further retail, office, and residential areas throughout the Canal District. This redevelopment is expected to help the stadium pay for itself as Worcester City Manager, Ed Augustus, has stated, “the fundamental principle [is] that no existing city tax revenue will be used to fund the ballpark construction.” Instead, payments will come from an incremental tax increase from the redeveloped district and increases in facility fees from the team through ticket sales and parking, among others (Kotsopoulous, 2020). However, the COVID-19 pandemic may have thrown a wrench into these plans.

    2021 swb railriders 2021 swb railriders triple-a information On February 12, 2021, Major League Baseball announced its new plan for affiliated baseball, with 120 Minor League clubs officially agreeing to join the new Professional Development League (PDL). In total, the new player development system includes 179 teams across 17 leagues in 43 states and four provinces. Including the AZL and GCL, there are 209 teams across 19 leagues in 44 states and four provinces. That includes the 150 teams in the PDL and AZL/GCL along with the four partner leagues: the American Association, Atlantic League, Frontier League and Pioneer League. The long-time Triple-A structure of the International and Pacific Coast Leagues have been replaced by Triple-A East and Triple-A West. Triple-A East consists on 20 teams; all 14 from the International League, plus teams moving from the Pacific Coast League, the Southern League and the independent Atlantic League. Triple-A West is comprised of nine Pacific Coast League teams and one addition from the Atlantic League. These changes were made to help reduce travel and allow Major League teams to have their affiliates, in most cases, within 200 miles of the parent club (or play at their Spring Training facilities). triple-a clubs & affiliates midwest northeast southeast e Columbus (Cleveland Indians) Buffalo (Toronto Blue Jays) Charlotte (Chicago White Sox) Indianapolis (Pittsburgh Pirates) Lehigh Valley (Philadelphia Phillies) Durham (Tampa Bay Rays) a Iowa (Chicago Cubs) Rochester (Washington Nationals) Gwinnett (Atlanta Braves) s Louisville (Cincinnati Reds) Scranton/ Wilkes-Barre (New York Yankees) Jacksonville (Miami Marlins) Omaha (Kansas City Royals) Syracuse (New York Mets) Memphis (St.
