  • Theory of the Beautiful Game: the Unification of European Football
    Scottish Journal of Political Economy, Vol. 54, No. 3, July 2007 r 2007 The Author Journal compilation r 2007 Scottish Economic Society. Published by Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 9600 Garsington Road, Oxford, OX4 2DQ, UK and 350 Main St, Malden, MA, 02148, USA THEORY OF THE BEAUTIFUL GAME: THE UNIFICATION OF EUROPEAN FOOTBALL John Vroomann Abstract European football is in a spiral of intra-league and inter-league polarization of talent and wealth. The invariance proposition is revisited with adaptations for win- maximizing sportsman owners facing an uncertain Champions League prize. Sportsman and champion effects have driven European football clubs to the edge of insolvency and polarized competition throughout Europe. Revenue revolutions and financial crises of the Big Five leagues are examined and estimates of competitive balance are compared. The European Super League completes the open-market solution after Bosman. A 30-team Super League is proposed based on the National Football League. In football everything is complicated by the presence of the opposite team. FSartre I Introduction The beauty of the world’s game of football lies in the dynamic balance of symbiotic competition. Since the English Premier League (EPL) broke away from the Football League in 1992, the EPL has effectively lost its competitive balance. The rebellion of the EPL coincided with a deeper media revolution as digital and pay-per-view technologies were delivered by satellite platform into the commercial television vacuum created by public television monopolies throughout Europe. EPL broadcast revenues have exploded 40-fold from h22 million in 1992 to h862 million in 2005 (33% CAGR).

The Arizona Cardinals contributed $109 million. The Cardinals purchased the land for the stadium for $18.5 million. Facility Website Twitter: @UOPXStadium UPDATE: Following the previous summer’s ruling from the Maricopa County Superior Court that the rental car tax was unconstitutional, the court has ruled the state must refund the rental car tax previously collected. The refunds could cost the State approximately $160 million. This would likely reduce the funding the Arizona Sports and Tourism Authority receives from the State to use toward debt payments on the University of Phoenix Stadium. In June 2016, the University of Phoenix Stadium upgraded the sound system throughout the arena. Featuring state-of-the-art technology, the upgrade was funded by the Arizona Cardinals. © Copyright 2016, National Sports Law Institute of Marquette University Law School Page 1 On January 11, 2016, the University of Phoenix Stadium hosted the 2016 College Football Playoff National Championship Game. This event provided an estimated total economic impact of $273.6 million for the State of Arizona.

The stadium has been renovated 4 times since 1976. In 1989, $11 M was spent to modernize the stadium and add luxury skyboxes. Bonds were issued and paid off with skybox revenue. TBA 2006 $370.6 71% Team will pay 104 M. Remaining portion from hotel and car rental tax increase and stadium taxes. 1 UPDATE The Arizona Cardinals' new $370.6 million, 73,000 seat stadium is currently under construction with an expected completion date of August 2006. The stadium includes a retractable roof and 88 luxury suites, and will be the first U.S. stadium to incorporate an “operable natural grass playing field.” The stadium is being built within a 160-acre site that includes parking for general and premium seating, buses, team, and operations personnel. The Hunt Construction Group is using a new technique in building the stadium, instead of building by layers, they are building by sections, from the floor to the ceiling. This technique will cut time and allow them to assemble the roof on the stadium floor rather than build it in the air.
