  • Sports Industry Considerations
    0 Houlihan Lokey Sports Industry Update Dear Clients and Friends, Houlihan Lokey is pleased to present its Sports Industry Summer 2020 Overview. We have included industry insights and select transaction announcements to help you stay ahead in the dynamic and constantly evolving sports sector. Driven by growing national and local media rights deals, digital platforms, and increased sponsorship monetization, recent years have witnessed several blockbuster acquisitions in the major U.S. professional sports leagues. We expect activity to remain high, especially for minority ownership stakes, for the foreseeable future as franchise assets remain scarce and institutional buyers enter the marketplace with increasing demand. In recent months, COVID-19 has sent shock waves through markets globally and captured the attention of the world. Since mid-February, COVID-19 has caused significant market disruption that is expected to continue for the foreseeable future. The sports industry has been particularly impacted with the cancellation of live sporting events, forcing sports leagues and franchises to reevaluate their business models for the duration of the pandemic. In recent weeks, leagues have begun to resume competition in empty stadiums, which has profound financial implications on teams’ operations and financial outlooks. We hope you find this update informative and that it serves as a valuable resource to you in staying abreast of the market. If there is additional content you would find useful for future updates, please don’t hesitate to call

  • J.D. Power Finds MLS and NHL Teams Outscore NFL Teams in Fan Experience
    J.D. Power Finds MLS and NHL Teams Outscore NFL Teams in Fan Experience Of 11 Markets Studied, NFL Teams Finish Last in Each One COSTA MESA, Calif.: 16 Aug. 2017 — Major League Soccer or National Hockey League teams perform highest in 10 of the 11 markets included in the J.D. Power 2017 Fan Experience Study,SM released today, while an NFL team scores lowest in every market. The study measures fan satisfaction with their overall experience at major pro sporting events. In last year’s inaugural study, only teams in the nation’s four largest markets—New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and Houston—were evaluated. This year, Bay Area, Boston, Dallas/Fort Worth, Denver, Philadelphia, South Florida and Washington, D.C. have been added, while Los Angeles has been expanded to include all of Southern California. Fan satisfaction is evaluated across seven factors (in order of importance): seating area and game experience; security and ushers; leaving the game; arriving at the game; food and beverage; ticket purchase; and souvenirs and merchandise. Satisfaction is measured on a 1,000-point scale. Additional factors that are measured but not included in the official ranking are loyalty and future intentions; team performance (on- field); and team image. The Houston Dynamo, Los Angeles Galaxy, New England Revolution, New York Red Bulls and Philadelphia Union score highest in their respective markets, while the Chicago Fire, FC Dallas and San Jose Earthquakes score second highest. The only MLS teams that buck the trend of rabid fan satisfaction are the Colorado Rapids and New York City Football Club (third) and DC United (fourth).
