  • Letting Time Serve You: Boot Camps and Alternative
    LEAGUE STRUCTURE & STADIUM RENT-SEEKING—THE ROLE OF ANTITRUST REVISITED David Haddock, Tonja Jacobi & Matthew Sag* ―O wad some Power the giftie gie us‖† Abstract Professional North American sporting teams receive enormous public funding for new and renovated stadiums after threatening to depart their hometowns, or by actually moving elsewhere. In contrast, English sporting teams neither receive much public money for such projects, nor move towns. This Article argues that no inherent cultural or political transatlantic variations cause the differences; rather, it is the industrial organization of sports in the two countries—the structure of league control—that enables rent-seeking by American teams but not by their English counterparts. Cross-country time series data contrasting American professional football and baseball stadiums with English soccer grounds support our claim, as does data contrasting the stadiums of geographically flexible National Football League teams with those of functionally immobile major collegiate football teams. North American sports leagues are cartels: they control entry of teams, then collaborate to maximize effective rent-seeking, stave off competition, and keep prices high. In most of the world, competitive merit determines entrance into leagues via a system known as promotion and relegation, which demotes the worst performing teams in one competitive tier to the next lower tier at season‘s end, simultaneously promoting an equivalent number of top teams from the division below. The fluidity created by promotion and relegation severely undermines the credibility of a team‘s threat to leave town by creating alternative, less costly entry points into the league.

  • An Alternate Justification for Public Investment in Major Sport Facilities?
    Managing Leisure, 2014 http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/13606719.2014.885712 Proximate development: an alternate justification for public investment in major sport facilities? John L. Crompton Department of Recreation, Park and Tourism Sciences, Texas A&M University, College Station, TX, USA As skepticism has grown toward the purported economic impact of major sport facilities on a commu- nity, advocates have redirected their justification toward the proximate structural development they stimulate and the social capital emanating from their presence. Analyses in this paper are confined to returns on investment in sport facilities from proximate structural development. Advocates invari- ably claim such benefits will accrue, but frequently they do not. Based on a review of multiple cases, it is suggested that at the city level an acceptable return is dependent on there being a critical mass of complementary attractions, while at the regional level the requirement is a critical mass of businesses that “feed off” the sport facilities. In the context of mega events, the return may be in the form of environmental rehabilitation, a legacy of long-term usable facilities, or “fast-tracked” infra- structure improvements. In all contexts, success is dependent on the extent to which the sport pro- jects are part of a holistic plan. The challenge of stimulating proximate development is exacerbated by the private facility operators’ goal of capturing all discretionary spending by visitors to their facilities and minimizing visitor spending outside their facility.
