Sources: USL, MLS. ADVANTAGE #2: LIMITED COMPETITION Sacramento is the largest metropolitan area in the United States with only one major professional sports team. • Sacramento would join Portland, Columbus, Salt Lake City and Orlando as the MLS cities with the fewest number of competing pro sports teams and venues • NBA and MLS regular season have minimal overlap – NBA: October to April – MLS: March to October • Limited venue competition for other stadium events – Golden 1 Center – Raley Field • Adjusted “per franchise” ranking improve Sacramento’s standing among other MLS teams – #5 largest TV market per franchise 20 ADVANTAGE #3: FAN LOYALTY & SPORTS SPENDING Sacramento has historically demonstrated tremendously strong support for local teams in terms of fan loyalty and spending. • Historically strong fan support for local teams – Kings: #1 in NBA in sellouts 1985-2008 with two of longest sellout streaks in NBA history – River Cats: #1 in total attendance among all MiLB teams ten times between 2000-2010 – Sacramento Republic FC: >25% of total USL fan attendance • Fan and corporate spending on sports outperforms market predictions – Kings naming rights deal one of largest in NBA – River Cats naming rights deal is 2nd highest in minor league baseball – Average resident spends approximately $182 per household - would be fourth highest among U.S.-based MLS markets • Robust Local Soccer Community – 6th Highest TV Ratings in U.S. for 2014 World Cup – Top 5 TV viewership market during 2015 Women’s World Cup – Second highest total of adult and youth league soccer participants in the US 21 ADVANTAGE #4: STATE OF THE ART STADIUM Picture of stadium (that can be released publicly at this point) 22 ADVANTAGE #5: YOUNG AND DIVERSE POPULATION Sacramento is a young and diverse market with increasing appeal among millennials.

  • Marco Farfan: a Rising Star from Southeast Portland Emerges for Timbers
    Marco Farfan: A rising star from Southeast Portland emerges for Timbers June 10, 2017 By Jamie Goldberg While some of his Centennial High School classmates earn extra cash by working minimum wage jobs making sandwiches, flipping burgers or frothing up Grande Lattes at Starbucks, Marco Farfan plays soccer for the Portland Timbers. That's right. Marco Farfan - high school student/professional athlete. As the youngest-ever player to sign with the Timbers, Farfan has followed an unusual path. He made the leap this year from the Timbers youth academy team, signing a contract with the professional club worth $53,000 per year. But while his life has changed dramatically over the last eight months, the 18-year-old is quick to downplay his achievement. That might be because he doesn't quite grasp how unusual his experience is. "It took me about a month to get used to it, but now I'm just focused on working hard, so I can get better down the road," Farfan said. "I'm 18 right now, but that's not going to last forever. I have to have the right mindset that I can go out there every day and compete." * * * Farfan grew up in a modest home on the border of Southeast Portland and Gresham dreaming of one day becoming a professional soccer player. But neither he nor his family imagined that he would make it to the pro level before earning his college diploma - let alone before finishing high school. His father, Roberto, who spent his own childhood in Mexico surrounded by an intense soccer- crazed culture, made sure to teach all three of his children about his beloved sport.

    SOCCER LEAGUES {Appendix 5, to Sports Facility Reports, Volume 14} Research completed as of July 18, 2013 MAJOR INDOOR SOCCER LEAGUE (MISL) Team: Baltimore Blast Principal Owner: Edwin F. Hale, Sr. Current Value ($/Mil): N/A Team Website Stadium: 1st Mariner Arena Date Built: 1962 Facility Cost ($/Mil): N/A Facility Financing: N/A Facility Website UPDATE: The City of Baltimore is still looking to start a private-public partnership for a new 18,500-seat arena to replace the aging 1st Mariner Arena, which will cost around $500 million. Private funding would go towards the new stadium, while public funding would be used to build a convention center. In March 2012, the state legislature declined to give $2,500,000 for design proposals until a more firm commitment to the project from the City of Baltimore is verbalized. As of February 2013, no verbal commitment had been made. Throughout 2013, the arena will be celebrating its 50th year in existence. NAMING RIGHTS: Baltimore Blast owner and 1st Mariner Bank President and CEO Ed Hale acquired the naming rights to the arena through his company, Arena Ventures, LLC, as a result of a national competitive bidding process conducted by the City of Baltimore. Arena Ventures agreed to pay the City $75,000 annually for ten years for the naming rights, which started in 2003. © Copyright 2013, National Sports Law Institute of Marquette University Law School Page 1 Team: Milwaukee Wave Principal Owner: Jim Lindenberg Current Value ($/Mil): N/A Team Website Stadium: U.S. Cellular Arena Date Built: 1950 Facility Cost ($/Mil): 10 Facility Financing: N/A Facility Website Update: In June 2013, the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee announced that it will return to the U.S.
