2009 Annual Operating Budget February 20-22, 2009 About the Cover City of Shreveport 2009 Annual Operating Budget February 20-22, 2009 About the Cover: Picture of Skeet Reese, 2009 Bassmaster Classic champion accepting the ‘World Champion’ trophy for winning the event. Picture provided by ESPN. The "Crown Jewel" of Sportsman's Paradise Shreveport-Bossier City, Louisiana Site of the Record Breaking 2009 Bassmaster Classic February 20-22, 2009, Shreveport rolled out the Red Carpet and welcomed the world to our Fair City as the community hosted the 39th Bassmaster Classic—the Super Bowl of Bass Fishing! “Hosting the 2009 Bassmaster Classic was a defining moment for Shreveport and NW Louisiana,” stated Mary Ann Tice, executive director for the Shreveport Regional Sports Authority, the city’s economic development organization providing economic impact through sports tourism. “We were completely delighted and proud to welcome the world to the Crown Jewel of Sportsman’s Paradise. Our entire community embraced the 2009 Classic and visibly demonstrated why Shreveport is a jewel,” said Mary Ann. The 2009 Classic was projected to be the largest single event ever in NW Louisiana. That projection was based on an anticipated attendance of approximately 70,000 visitors. Actually, Shreveport hosted a record-shattering Bassmaster Classic, almost doubling the anticipated attendance! ESPN documents a record 137,700 fans attended the 2009 Bassmaster Classic on the Red River shattering the previous record held by New Orleans, LA by 55,000! The Shreveport Convention Center hosted its largest event ever as the Bassmaster Classic Outdoors Expo was sited at our state-of-the-art convention center with record Bassmaster Classic Expo attendance documented by laser turnstile. The city’s Hilton Hotel served as one of five host hotels and admirably displayed Shreveport’s signature Southern Hospitality. Although the Classic championship itself is a 3-day event, SCC and the Hilton housed the expo for setup and hotel patrons for a week. ESPN broadcast in excess of 11 hours event coverage and will re-broadcast more than 50 hours of Classic coverage. The result is immediate economic impact as well as indirect economic impact, and immediate positive public relations for the city as well as for the State of Louisiana. The event will provide an estimated economic impact in excess of $24 million. The positive long-term effects of positive television and print media coverage were seen and will continue to be seen by a very large worldwide audience providing continued marketing and visibility of “The Crown Jewel” of Sportsman’s Paradise—Shreveport, Louisiana! Long-term positive public television and print media coverage seen by a very large worldwide audience will be, perhaps, immeasurable. The Classic impact and effectiveness exceeded expectations. Not only were 39-year attendance records broken but also record media coverage and internet coverage and hits were documented; providing marketing and advertising for potential future visitors and business in excess of projections. February 20-22, 2009, the world came to visit Shreveport—and Shreveport shined like the jewel we are!

Nobles Purchasing Manager, Office of Purchasing Matt Langley Bell III Building 213 Palafox Place 2nd Floor, Room 11.101 Pensacola, FL 32502 Re: SMG Response - Escambia County RFP #17-18.002 SMG is pleased to submit our response to the Escambia County Request for Proposals (RFP #17-18.002) relating to a Multi-Use Sports and Event Venue Public Private Partnership Solicitation. Our proposal is submitted as an alternative option to the unsolicited proposal recently submitted by the consortium led by Jay Patel for your consideration. SMG believes that limited investment in the Pensacola Bay Center provides a better, more affordable solution for the County, while preserving a significant community asset. Our proposed capital improvements not only take steps to modernize the facility, but they also address the specific capital requirements needed to accommodate an NBA G-League franchise – which we know is something that has been of great interest to the community. In an effort to provide the County with maximum flexibility, SMG has put forth two (2) separate proposal scenarios for your consideration. Neither of these options require any capital investment, debt issuance, guarantee of debt, or credit facility by the County: Scenario 1: $10 million capital improvement program funded through the use of ‘Triumph Funds’, with focus on facility infrastructure and enhancements, as well as improvements necessary to meet the NBA G-League requirements.
