E XECUTIVE S UMMARY

Scope of Work In October of 2018, Sports Facilities Advisory, LLC (SFA) was engaged by Columbia County, FL to complete an analysis related to the development of an outdoor multi-purpose field complex focused on hosting tournaments and events that will be a driver of new visitor spending to the area as well as serving the needs of the local community and existing sports organizations.

SFA’s engagement consisted of the following steps: • Project Kick-Off Call • Existing Data Review & Market Study • Site Visit/Market Tour with Business Development Planning Session (BDPS) • Detailed Financial Forecast (Pro Forma) • Economic Impact Analysis • Feasibility Report • Presentation of Findings

This feasibility report provides an overview of the process used for the analysis, results of the pro forma and economic impact analysis, and recommendations for next steps.

Definitions of Success SFA facilitated a business development planning and strategy session with representatives from Columbia County (Project Team) to determine the definitions of success for the Columbia County Multi-Purpose Field Complex. As a result of that exercise, it was determined that a new sports complex in Columbia County must meet the below criteria to be deemed successful: 1. Become a premiere multi-purpose field complex that attracts, hosts, and retains multi-purpose field sports tournaments and events. 2. Create a significant driver of economic impact, generating new spending from non- local visitors who would not be in Columbia County but for events held at the Complex. 3. Enhance the sense of place and quality of life in the community by improving local access to sports and recreation in terms of time, cost, and location.

Facility Features In consideration of the Project Team’s definitions of success and based on the information outlined throughout this report related to the market opportunity, SFA created two facility program options for the Columbia County Multi-Purpose Field Complex.

The “12 Field Model” would become one of the regional leaders for outdoor multi-purpose field facilities and has the greatest ability to generate economic impact, non-local visitation, and new tax revenue generation. The “8 Field Model” reduces the cost of development, operating expenses, and the amount of land required. Additionally, the 8 Field Model generates less economic impact, non-local visitation, and new tax revenue generation. However, the 8 Field Model would still be a regional destination for multi-purpose field tournaments and events.

It is important to note while SFA analyzed site locations provided by the Project Team, for the purposes of this study SFA utilized a central location within the County to analyze the market. As a result, SFA developed both models without utilizing a particular site, but rather based on SFA’s research,DRAFT analysis, and knowledge in the region.

Determination of Feasibility As outlined by the Project Team, the Columbia County Multi-Purpose Field Complex must be capable of achieving three definitions of success in order to be considered a feasible project. Those three success factors are re-stated below and the key findings for each are included. • Become a premiere multi-purpose field complex o Based on other complexes in the region, if the Columbia County Multi-Purpose Field Complex is developed as recommended under both facility programs it would be one of the region’s premiere multi-purpose field complexes. § The 12 Field Model would become one of the regional leaders in outdoor multi-purpose fields, while the 8 Field Model would be a regional destination for tournaments and events. § The Complex would have the ability to draw participants from several mid-major to major markets that include Jacksonville, Tallahassee, Orlando, Tampa, and the outskirts of Atlanta. • Create a significant driver of economic impact o SFA’s analysis shows that the 12 Field Model will bring over 23,000 room nights per year and approximately $9 million of new direct spending per year at maturity. o SFA’s analysis shows that the 8 Field Model will bring over 14,000 room nights per year and approximately $6 million of new direct spending per year at maturity. o It should be noted that every sports tourism facility that SFA has created projections for that has been built has exceeded its early-year economic impact projections and reached or exceed the mature-year total annual economic impact projection. • EnhanceDRAFT the sense of place and quality of life o Given the trends in the sports and recreation industry, current sports and recreation assets in Columbia County, and the impact of sport and activity on

5

COLUMBIA COUNTY MULTI-PURPOSE FIELD COMPLEX FEASIBILITY REPORT

children and families, SFA believes this facility will drive a sense of place and quality of life in the community. o The complex would offer a multi-purpose field asset to a level that currently does not exist in the community and reduce the frequency of families traveling outside of the County to participate in practices, leagues, camps, tournaments, etc.

In recognition of the information above, SFA deems the Columbia County Multi-Purpose Field Complex to be a “Feasibility: Yes, If” project, meaning that there are multiple key steps/factors that must addressed before moving forward with the project. The top four steps/factors are: 1. A funding plan must be created to cover the cost of development for both equity and long-term financing costs. 2. A site that meets the requirements for size, access, and adjacency to support service providers must be selected and secured. 3. An operating structure must be created to ensure that top-tier management, marketing, maintenance, and service initiatives are in place. 4. A long-term plan must be developed to cover operating losses and long-term capital improvement/replacement costs.

If these four steps/factors can be accomplished, SFA endorses the development of the Columbia County Multi-Purpose Field Complex.

Demographic and Socio-Economic Overview SFA conducted an in-depth demographic and socio-economic analysis of the local and sub- regional market. The goal of this portion of the analysis is to determine the key characteristics of the most regular users of an outdoor multi-purpose field complex in Columbia County, FL. A complete demographic report has been included in the appendix of this document.

As previously mentioned, although SFA analyzed multiple site locations provided by the Project Team, it used a centrally located point in Columbia County in order to analyze the key demographic factors. However, once the Project Team selects a site for the outdoor multi- purpose field complex, SFA would not expect these market factors to shift significantly.

The chart below shows some of the key demographic factors used in analyzing the utilization of facilities by the local and sub-regional community members, who will be the most frequent users of a new sports complex. While these statistics do not serve as strict predictors of a complex’s opportunity to meet its objectives, SFA has developed a proprietary analytical process that considers these factors and several others as part of the financial forecast, sports participation projections, and other analyses required in SFA’s study.

Key Demographic Factors Category 10 Minutes 15 Minutes 30 Minutes 60 Minutes Total Population 23,591 43,454 94,627 573,718 Projected 5-Year Population 1.50% 2.30% 2.85% 3.95% Growth Median Age 40.3 40.4 40.3 36.1 Median Household Income $40,967 $41,687 $41,869 $43,536 Fees for Recreational Lessons $77 $78 $74 $87 Sources: ESRI, ArcGIS

Demographic and Socio-Economic Insights The following insights add context to the data below and are based on SFA’s experience in the planning, opening, and management of successful sports and recreation facilities.

• Population Size: SFA uses drive times from the Complex to analyze the population of potential participants that a sports complex would seek to capture. Columbia County and its surrounding areas can be described as sparsely populated, with a population estimated to be approximately 95,000 at the local market (30-minute drive time). With an approximate population of 574,000 at the sub-regional market (60-minute drive time), SFA classifies the sub-region as moderately populated.

SFA understands one of the main definitions of success for a new outdoor multi- purpose complex located in Columbia County, FL is to host tournaments and events that attract out of market visitors to stay and spend in the local area. As a result, SFA also analyzed the regional population (defined as a 240-minute drive time) the Columbia County Multi-Purpose Complex would have access to, which is approximately 15.8 millionDRAFT, and is considered a densely populated regional market. Within in the regional

10

COLUMBIA COUNTY MULTI-PURPOSE FIELD COMPLEX FEASIBILITY REPORT

market are several mid-major to major markets that include Jacksonville, Tallahassee, Orlando, Tampa, and the outskirts of Atlanta.

Because the local population is sparse and the sub-regional population is moderate, SFA views population size as a challenging factor for viability related to local programming. Because the regional population is dense, SFA views population size as a positive factor for viability related to sports tourism.

• Population Growth: The population is expected to grow moderately in the immediate area until at least the year 2022, with estimates up to approximately 2.85 percent growth in the 30-minute drive time interval. Growth rates in the local market are below the national average of approximately 3.50 percent. As drive times increase, the expected population growth increases to 3.95 percent at the 60-minute drive time interval.

Because population growth is moderate, SFA views population growth as a positive factor for viability.

• Age: The median age ranges within all drive time intervals vary from 36.1 to 40.4, which is lower and higher than the national average of approximately 38. In markets that are below the national average, SFA typically experiences that there are a high percent of children and young adults in the market, which are key age segments for sports and recreation. However, SFA understands that one of the main definitions of success for the Columbia County Multi-Purpose Complex is to generate new spending from non- locals through hosting tournaments and events. As a result, the above-average median age in the local market may have limited impact on the Complex.

Because the median age is higher than the national average, but most of participants are expected to arrive from the regional market to participate in tournaments and events, SFA views age as a neutral factor for viability.

• Median Household Income: The median household income levels in the immediate area are lower than the national average, which is approximately $56,000. SFA typically experiences markets that have above-average median household income levels to have the discretionary income to spend on sports and recreation. However, SFA understands one of the goals of the Complex is to enhance the quality of life and sense of place in the community through improving local access to sports and recreation in terms of cost. As a result, a below average median household income may have a limited impact on the facility.

Because the median household income is lower than the national average, but one of the definitions of success for the complex is to improve access to sports and recreation in terms of cost, SFA views income as a neutral factor for viability.

• Fees (Spending) for Recreational Lessons: Columbia County and the surrounding areas have above-average recreational lessons spending relative to household income. Based on SFA’s experience in similar markets, the expected fees for recreational lessons would be in the $60 to $70 range. Above-average level of household expenditures on fees for recreational lessons displays the willingness to purchase recreation-based programs and services in the immediate area. DRAFT

11

COLUMBIA COUNTY MULTI-PURPOSE FIELD COMPLEX FEASIBILITY REPORT

Because fees (spending) for recreational lessons are above average, SFA views spending on recreation as a positive factor for viability.

Overall, the demographic and socio-economic factors in the local, sub-regional, and regional markets create both favorable and challenging conditions for the Columbia County Multi- Purpose Complex to succeed. The favorable factors for viability include the regional population and fees for recreational lessons. The factors SFA views as neutral or a challenge to viability include the local and sub-regional population, age, and median household income.

S PORTS IN THE R EGION

Potential Sports Participants To begin the process of analyzing the opportunity for the development of a new outdoor multi- purpose field complex in Columbia County, FL, SFA projected the total number of sports participants in the local, sub-regional, and regional markets.

SFA calculates sports participation using a blend of national and regional sports participation rates as reported by the National Sporting Goods Association (NSGA) and the Sports and Fitness Industry Association (SFIA). The projections consider only active sports participants who play their respective sport in an organized format a specific number of times per year. The qualifying participation threshold varies by sport and is intended to separate casual participants from core participants; core participants are more likely to be customers at the facility because they play consistently enough to consider paying for and participating in an organized program on a regular basis.

The following table lists the “primary” sports that are accommodated within the Columbia County Multi-Purpose Complex and the number of potential participants that the new complex could attract from the local, sub-regional, and regional markets. “Primary” sports are those identified as having regular competitive seasons or a large base of participants for the new complex to draw from in the market.

Potential Primary Activity Participants Local (30 min.) Sub-Regional (60 Regional (240 Sport/Activity Participants min.) Participants min.) Participants Soccer 3,093 18,750 516,755 Football 1,489 9,026 248,764 Flag Football 1,039 6,298 173,572 Lacrosse 470 2,849 78,510 Field Hockey 222 1,346 37,102 Source: SFA, National Sporting Goods Association, Sports & Fitness Industry Association

The total potential local participants are calculated by multiplying each sport’s participation rate with the 30-minute drive time population, which is 94,627 in this case. The total sub- regional participants are calculated by multiplying the sport’s participation rate with the 60- minute drive time population, which is 573,718 in this case. The total potential regional participants are calculated by multiplying a sport’s participation rate with the regional population within a 240-minute drive time, which is 15,811,984 in this case.

E XISTING S ERVICE P ROVIDERS AND E VENTS

SFA researched and analyzed existing local and regional facilities that could impact the Complex’s ability to attract and retain program participants for both local programs and tournaments and events.

Existing Local Service Providers In order to determine the share of the market that the new Complex can expect to capture, SFA performed an in-depth analysis of the local existing service providers. SFA’s analysis is based on the following factors: • Experience of the facility management team • Proximity to new facility • Quality of physical space • Volume and participation in programs and offerings • Online Presence • Pricing • Seasonality • Marketing reach and business development • Program mix and service offerings

Based on the facility program analyzed for the Columbia County Multi-Purpose Complex, the Project Team must consider competing facilities that offer at least one of the following types of amenities as a primary focus of the operation: • Outdoor Multi-Purpose Fields

The facilities that SFA factored into the analysis represent potential competitors in the market that are currently offering services, programs, and events that may impact the operations at the new Complex. It is important to note that while these are the facilities that could be primary competitors, not all of these facilities will have an equal impact on the opportunity, and – depending on the final operational model and program structure – some may not impact the new complex at all.

In the appendix of this document, SFA has provided general information related to a list of existing outdoor multi-purpose fields.

The table below shows a sampling of the outdoor multi-purpose fields analyzed by SFA. A full list of local competitors has been included in the appendix.

The comprehensive market study that SFA conducted during this study determined each competing facility’s impact on the new Complex’s ability to achieve financial and operational success. The facilities researched represent potential competitors in the market that are currently hosting programs, tournaments, or other events that may impact the operations at the new Complex. The factors SFA uses to perform this analysis include, but are not limited to: • Existing sports and recreation inventory: o SFA analyzes existing facility inventory in terms of the quantity of existing sports assets, the quality of those assets, and their proximity to critical supporting structures and businesses. • Proximity to the facility: o SFA determines the proximity of existing tournament assets to the new facility, recognizing that closer assets will have a larger impact from a competitive standpoint than assets that are farther away. • Pricing: o SFA examines the market prices of user fees, rental rates, registration fees, etc. Unless otherwise directed, SFA sets prices in its financial forecast that are either in line with or slightly above current-year market rates. • Seasonality: o SFA utilizes its experience in managing similar facilities to determine the optimized seasonality for hosting programs and events. • Marketing reach and capture rate: o SFA bases the ability of the new Complex to effectively market and capture sports tourism participants, tournaments, and events on market factors such as demographics and socioeconomics, competitive factors such as the quality of existing facilities in the region, and destination factors such as site accessibility and the reputation of the destination. • Program mix and service offerings: DRAFTo SFA creates a financial forecast that reflects a robust, detailed set of revenue streams for the Complex based on the type, size, quantity, and quality of assets.

SFA’s proprietary analytical process allows each of the competing facilities to be weighed individually to determine the impact of competition on any new facilities in Columbia County, FL. As such, not all the existing service providers will have an equal impact on the Columbia County Multi-Purpose Field Complex’s opportunity to secure events, and some may not impact the new complex at all.

Existing Regional Events SFA assesses the opportunity to secure events based on the number, type, and format of events that are currently occurring in the region. In the appendix, SFA has included details for a multitude of events occurring in the region in activities such as soccer and football.

For existing events, SFA examines several factors, including but not limited to: • Existing tournament inventory: o SFA analyzes the existing regional tournament inventory in terms of the quantity of existing sports events, length of each event, location of the event, number of teams registered for each event, and the percent of teams that are likely to stay overnight. • Locations: o SFA analyzes where existing tournaments and events are hosted. In particular, it is important to determine the number of courts/fields each event uses and where those courts/fields are located in proximity to the primary host site. • Pricing: o SFA examines the market prices of tournament team fees, gate fees, parking fees, etc. Unless otherwise directed, SFA sets prices in its financial forecast that are either in line with or slightly above market rates. • Seasonality: o SFA analyzes the seasonality of existing regional events to optimize the facility utilization, accounting for the different seasons for all types of sports. • Local vs. non-local participation and attendance: o SFA examines the existing regional tournaments and determines the percent of event participants and spectators that travel from outside the local market area. These “non-local attendees” are more likely to stay overnight and generate economic impact. • Number of teams: o SFA examines existing regional tournament data to determine the number of teams, spectators traveling per player, and number of players per team for events in each primary sport. • Level of competition: o SFA examines existing regional tournament data to determine the levels of competition taking place and the ages of participants.

SFA uses a multitude of data sources as part of its analytical process. To appropriately analyze the regional sports tourism market, SFA uses data from its own experience in operating similar facilities, as well as data gathered from secondary sources such as tournament/event websites, websites of organizations that host tournaments/events, organizing and sanctioning bodies for various sports and regions, and other sources.

SFA incorporates this data by analyzing it through the lens of its experience in planning, opening, andDRAFT operating facilities of this type into the detailed financial forecast. Market data, when compared to the SFA’s standard of industry best practices, allows SFA to project the

16

COLUMBIA COUNTY MULTI-PURPOSE FIELD COMPLEX FEASIBILITY REPORT proper pricing levels, number of events, size of events, and other critical factors related to operating a successful sports tourism facility.

The samplings in the appendix, as is the case in the broader sports tournament market, contain events of various locations, dates, costs, sizes, and age ranges. It is important to note that while the above facilities and events have been identified, there are a variety of tournaments and events in the market that are held at multiple smaller locations that could not host a large-scale tournament at a single facility.

In summary, there are a large number of service providers in the regional market that could impact the new Complex. This is to be expected in the region, where sports tourism is a popular choice of municipalities seeking to generate economic impact. However, SFA has right-sized the number of sports assets based on meeting the Project Team’s goals as well as the expectation of the quality, quantity, and type of events that will be hosted in this market.

S PORTS T OURISM I NDUSTRY I NSIGHTS

General Overview According to survey data collected by the National Association of Sports Commissions (NASC) published in its “State of the Industry Report” in July of 2018, the sports tourism industry continues to grow and be an impactful part of life in the United States: • Estimated visitor spending associated with sports events was $11.40 billion in 2017, which was a nine percent increase from 2016 and a total increase of 37.3 percent from 2012. The last two years have experienced the highest growth with 11 percent and 9 percent respectively. The continuous increase in visitor spending is an indicator of the health and vitality of the sports tourism industry. • Organizations requiring “Stay to Play” decreased over the previous two years. However, 55 percent of organizations required “Stay to Play” in 2017 which represents a two percent increase from 2016. • The majority of organizations that are involved in community health and wellness stated that these programs were youth-based. The main outreach centered on youth festivals and after-school programs, partnerships with Parks & Recreation Departments for community runs/walks, and coaching and peer consulting. • Throughout 2017, sports tourism organizations owned or operated an average of 70 sports events, an increase of 30 percent compared to last year. o 36 percent of organizations own their own sports events, representing a 27 percent increase from 2016. o These respondents stated the importance of owning your sports events is to increase revenue, engage the community, and improve the quality of life in the community. • 67 percent of organizations that control their own sporting events operated 26 or more events annually, with 40 percent of those events being individual events such as races and 47 percent being team events.

The sustained growth in the youth and amateur sports tourism industry over the last 10+ years is one of the most compelling reasons to consider sports tourism as a reliable, attractive industry. In fact, sports tourism is the only segment of the tourism industry that did not decline in any quarter of the Great Recession, allowing it to be considered “recession resistant” and therefore of increased interest to communities across the country.

Events and Spending by Region In addition to overall growth, NASC research breaks down youth and amateur sports tourism spending by region to demonstrate where activity is taking place.

The chart below shows the distribution of events across five regions of the United States.

COLUMBIA COUNTY MULTI-PURPOSE FIELD COMPLEX FEASIBILITY REPORT

The southeast region accounts for an even higher share of the overall spending by youth and amateur sports tourism travelers than the percent of events. Based on the previous two charts, the southeast region of the United States accounts for over half of spending and events focused on youth and amateur sports tourism. Among other factors, one of the defining characteristics of this area is a general climate that supports year-round activities limiting the weather’s impact on the ability for events to reliably take place.

Average Expenditures Based on data from hundreds of events, SFA analyzed how individuals and families typically spend when traveling for youth and amateur sports events by type of destination. The graphs below demonstrate the average individual spending per day and family spending per weekend for travelers attending events in standard and tourism destination markets. A standard market is categorized as a location that does not have a significant, established tourism industry while a tourism destination is defined as a location that generates significant activity through tourism outside of youth and amateur sports.

Standard Market Tourism – Off-Peak Tourism - Peak $110.37/Person/Day $150.58/Person/Day $185.82/Person/Day $883/Family/Weekend $1,205/Family/Weekend $1,487/Family/Weekend

As demonstrated in an established tourism destination, families currently spend between approximately $1,200 and $1,500 per weekend of travel for youth and amateur sports tournaments and events.

Sports Tourism Destination and Operational Success Factors In order to capitalize on the opportunities created by youth and amateur sports tourism activities as described above, there are several destination and operational success factors that are important in the industry today.

Destination Factors • High Quality, Large Facilities and Assets o Youth and amateur sports tourism starts with facilities. With the proliferation of competitive destination facilities, amenity quality is increasingly important as well as the number of spaces available to host teams, participants, and spectators. Additionally, supporting amenities like food and beverage services, entertainment options, etc. create a competitive advantage for facilities that feature them. • Variety of Lodging, Dining, and Entertainment Options o Outside of the facility, decisions related to events to attend are often made in part on the lodging, dining, and entertainments options in the market. For DRAFTplayers and teams traveling regularly, having known brands and affordable options to choose from is often important. For players and teams traveling

20

COLUMBIA COUNTY MULTI-PURPOSE FIELD COMPLEX FEASIBILITY REPORT

infrequently or for families opting to create a vacation around a tournament, having unique and exciting lodging, dining, and entertainment is critical. • Desirable Competition o One of the primary reasons to travel for tournaments and events is to compete against unfamiliar teams. Tournaments that feature a mix of teams from a large geographic range and have a well-defined competitive level structure are best able to draw teams and to bring them back year after year, • Affordability o Affordability continues to be a top concern of coaches, parents, and participants as they decide which events to attend and how many times to travel. The increase in number of competitive events and the expansion of traditional seasons has created a need to be cost conscious when selecting events. • Reputation of the Destination o Establishing and maintaining a reputation as a great place to visit is a critical factor for attracting and retaining events and participants.

Operational Success Factors o Program-Driven Design § In today’s climate where new special-purpose sports tourism facilities are being opened regularly across the country, facilities must be built for and operated to create a best-in-class experience for visitors. In order to successfully attract, host, and retain events and participants, the facility must have been designed with event operations and participant satisfaction in mind. o Dedicated Marketing and Business Development Personnel and Budget § With so many communities and facilities seeking to capture a portion of the sports tourism industry, it is imperative to dedicate people and money to marketing and selling opportunities. While the recommended organization structure and budget varies significantly from location to location, all successful destinations have some level of dedicated personnel and money available to secure business. o Dedicated Management § Similar to dedicated resources to selling the facility, successful venues have a dedicated and specialized management team to ensure the investment into the facility is protected and the reputation within the industry is built and maintained. o Collaboration § The youth and amateur sports tourism industry consists of a variety of existing destinations and events across activities, levels of competition, governing bodies, rules of play, etc. The increasingly mature industry now features an environment in which it is often difficult to build new events and attract visitors to events that are not already established. This necessitates collaboration with tournament and events rights holders to attract existing events, working with existing facilities to grow events that demand greater capacity, and maximizing visitation and economic impact during early years of operations. o Owner, Member, and Community Buy-In § More often than not, sustainable facilities feature a balance of tournaments/events and local leagues, camps, clinics, etc. In order to set expectations for how an optimal balance is achieved and in order to execute DRAFTon a well-rounded, sustainable business plan, the facility must educate all stakeholders and communicate the purpose as well as the schedule for tournaments and events on a regular and ongoing basis.

F ACILITY P ROGRAM & O PINION OF C OST

In consideration of the information above, SFA has created two facility program and opinion of cost options. The first facility program, referred to as the “12 Field Model” would become one of the regional leaders for outdoor multi-purpose field facilities and has the greatest ability to generate economic impact, non-local visitation, and new tax revenue generation.

The second facility program, referred to as the “8 Field Model” reduces the cost of development, operating expenses, and the amount of land required. Additionally, the 8-Field Model generates less economic impact, non-local visitation, and new tax revenue generation. However, the 8-Field Model would still be a regional destination.

The spaces detailed in both options will allow the complex to provide high-quality programming through the development of a premier outdoor sports assets that establishes itself as a regional destination through hosting large-scale sports tourism tournaments and events and serves the local community through improving access to sports and recreation.

Facility Program – 12 Field Model SFA worked with the Project Team to understand the desired amenities and definitions of success for the Complex. From there, SFA developed a facility program based on the Project Team’s vision, experience in the industry, market study, and detailed pro forma development.

The Complex features an outdoor athletic complex, that is approximately 73.3 acres. The outdoor athletic complex includes: • Multi-Purpose Fields o Eight full-size synthetic turf multi-purpose fields o Four full-size natural grass multi-purpose fields • Guest Amenities o One children’s playground • Primary Support, Secondary Support, and Maintenance Buildings • Two Pavilion Seating Areas

P ROGRAMMING, P RODUCTS, & S ERVICES

As detailed in the full financial forecast, the Columbia County Multi-Purpose Field Complex is projected to offer programs, products, and services for both local users and regional tournaments and events. Below are details related to the ways in which the facility will serve the local and regional markets.

The information below is based on SFA’s recommendation to establish a balance between serving the local community through local programs and the regional market through hosting sports tourism tournaments and events.

Local Programming Model The local programming model is designed to make the Columbia County Multi-Purpose Field Complex a year-round sports and recreation hub for local residents by serving as a community asset providing sports, physical health, recreation, and youth development. By creating a fun, active space with high-quality programming and amenities, the facility will be able to host a multitude of activities and serve a wide range of community pursuits.

The Columbia County Multi-Purpose Field Complex will offer programming such as leagues, tournaments, classes, and other programs for any or all of the following activities: • Outdoor Soccer • Multi-Purpose Field Events • Outdoor Football • Outdoor Multi-Purpose Field Rentals

Program Mix SFA recommends a facility program mix that is more heavily focused on internal or in-house programs rather than rental or outside service provider programs. While SFA recognizes the value of relationships with existing service providers and local sports organizations, in-house programming presents the facility with the following growth and business development opportunities: • Greater Ownership of the Business: Running in-house programs will allow the management team to dictate all aspects of the products and services being offered at the Complex. This ownership provides the ability to make decisions regarding marketing, sales, and operations of all programs. Furthermore, the Complex will rely less on the skills, experience, and relationships of outside people or organizations and therefore strengthen the Complex’s ability to offer best-in-class services to its customers.

• Control of the Customer Experience: All programs are a reflection of the Complex and affect customer perception of the brand. With a rental model, a Complex has a minimal level of control over program quality and customer experience. If a program run by an outside organization does not meet customer expectations, the Complex will be directly associated with that bad experience. On the other hand, internal programs allow the Complex to control the quality of customers’ experiences.

• Higher Financial Returns: Rental programs are limited in the level of revenue they are able to generate. This relatively flat revenue restricts the ability to capitalize on growth opportunities. An internal program business model creates the opportunity for the facilityDRAFT to grow programs and increase the amount of revenue that can be generated per hour. With the proper investment in and development of in-house programs, the Complex will be able to generate significantly higher levels of revenue.

27

COLUMBIA COUNTY MULTI-PURPOSE FIELD COMPLEX FEASIBILITY REPORT

• Facility Database and Cross Marketing: Internal programming presents the Complex with the opportunity to build an extensive internal database of its customers. Owning and running in-house programs will allow the Complex to capture and retain important customer contact information. This internal database will create a platform for the management team to cross-market appropriate programs to people who are already customers and invested in taking part in the products and services that the Complex has to offer. The ability to cross-market to an internal database is substantially more effective than many traditional marketing initiatives.

• Ability to Maximize Scheduling: A rental-only model restricts the management team’s ability to maximize program scheduling. This is a result of the desire of outside programmers and rentals to purchase only the best and prime time hours in the Complex. With an in-house program model, the management team will be able to dictate the day and time that programs are run and therefore allow the Complex to maximize the use of available scheduling time.

A gradual transition towards a higher level of internal programming after opening will allow the Complex to maintain relationships and utilize outside programming during the maturation process. As the Complex matures, shifting to an increased percentage of internal programs will allow the facility to capitalize on opportunities to grow programs and contribute to a higher level of financial sustainability.

Sports Tourism Operating Model To more clearly define the goal of generating economic impact through sports tourism events, SFA has described the sports tourism operating model below.

The goal of a sports tourism model is to attract out-of-town teams, players, coaches, and spectators to the market to generate revenue for the facility and to create economic impact through non-local visitors staying in hotels, eating at restaurants, shopping at stores, purchasing gas, etc. Within the sports tourism model, there are two primary ways of developing tournaments: creating in-house tournaments and outsourcing tournaments to existing organizers/rights holders.

In-house tournaments require a significant amount of time, energy, and human resources to develop and execute. This type of event requires the facility to market the event, register teams, secure hotels, train staff, hire officials, manage play, etc. As such, significant revenue can be generated, but the cost of doing business is high. Additionally, tournaments typically take multiple years to grow, and as a result first-year (and often second-year) events are small, marginally profitable, and create a minimal economic impact.

Outsourced tournaments require much less work on the part of the Complex because inventory is rented to a tournament provider who is in charge of securing teams and running the event. Additionally, they often provide greater economic impact in the early years of operation because they are not first year events, and therefore there are more teams in attendance. However, the amount of money the facility can generate on an outsourced tournament is limited because team registration fees go to the rights-holder, as do other revenue streams (e.g. hotel rebates, gate fees, etc.).

Based on the established sports tourism business in the region and the definitions of success for the complex of generating economic impact through drawing non-local visitors to Columbia County, FLDRAFT, SFA has projected the development of rental tournaments in which the Complex will serve as a host to existing events and future events owned by existing rights-holders in the region.

F INANCIAL O VERVIEW

SFA’s determination of feasibility for the Columbia County Multi-Purpose Field Complex depends on the financial forecast of the business and the ability for it to achieve results that support the long-term financial goals of the Project Team. With input from the Project Team, SFA constructed a detailed pro forma/financial analysis for the facility that projects the financial viability of operations for the first five years. In addition to the detailed financial forecast for the first five years of operations, SFA has also provided a 20-year forecast for the facility based on growth rates from real-world operations at similar facilities and industry growth trends.

In creating a financial forecast, SFA intentionally projects numbers that are dependent on timely marketing, attention to detail, ongoing financial analysis, a focus on customer service, and intelligent management practices. This forecast does not rely on unlikely circumstances or unreliable sources of revenue to be achieved, since SFA aims to create a forecast that is conservative, realistic, and achievable within the goals of the project utilizing proven metrics and methodology for assessing the feasibility of new sports tourism facilities.

SFA has found that it is typical for a facility with a sports tourism business model to require an annual operating subsidy. This is due to the fact that events that generate economic impact provide the facility with one-off revenue streams that occur a limited number of times each year but require large facilities that are overbuilt for the local market opportunity. For communities that pursue event tourism as an economic driver, room nights, direct spending, and new tax revenues generated from events are viewed as an attractive return on the investment relative to the subsidization of operations. In the case of the Columbia County Multi-Purpose Field Complex, the facility consists of a hybrid between a local recreation business model and a sports tourism business model and, therefore, is projected to approach operational sustainability by maturity at year five.

Summary of Financial Performance: Years 1-5 – 12 Field Model The following table is a summary of the forecasted revenues, cost of goods sold, operating expenses, new tax revenue, and net financial impact for the 12 Field Model through the first five years of operation. The details of the complex’s financial performance breakdown have been provided in the full financial forecast documents.

As stated previously, SFA developed its forecast based on the prioritization of events that meet the Project Team’s objectives and the best practices for managing a successful outdoor sports tourism facility. As part of that analysis, SFA conducted an in-depth analysis of the two components that determine economic impact: 1. The average daily expenditure for non-local visitors to the market, including but not limited to: o Average daily rate for hotels o Average daily meal costs o Percent of spending in market by category 2. The details for each event, including but not limited to: o Number of participants o Number spectators o Markets from which participants travel o Day and overnight travel habits in the region and across the industry o Length of event

Average Daily Expenditure SFA projected per-person spending in the categories in which visitors to Columbia County, FL are expected to spend for regional youth and amateur tournaments and events. As the chart below shows, visitors are expected to spend an average of $121.80 per person per day when traveling to Columbia County, FL from out of town. The estimate for per person spending is based on a conservative estimate for how non-local visitors will spend while in market. SFA believes that this is a reliable estimate, and that it is unlikely that per person spending will be below the projected amount.

Per Person Spending By Category Amount % of Total Lodging/Accommodations $30.33 24.9% Dining/Groceries $43.35 35.6% Transportation $7.37 6.1% Entertainment/Attractions $15.17 12.5% Retail $13.87 11.4% Miscellaneous $11.70 9.6% Total $121.80 100%

Economic Impact Drivers: Years 1-20 – 12 Field Model Before converting the per-person average daily expenditure into a total direct spending projection for each facility type, SFA analyzed the two most important drivers of economic impact: non-local days in market and room nights generated for each event projected. Non- local days in market are the number of days that non-local visitors will spend in the Columbia County, FL because of the tournament or event they are attending. Hotel room nights are the number of nights that visitors will stay in the local area to take part in tournaments and events.

For the purposes of this study, non-local visitors are defined as people coming to the Columbia County, FL from more than 90 minutes away to participate in tournaments and events held at the Complex.DRAFT

As outlined by the Project Team, the Columbia County Multi-Purpose Field Complex must be capable of achieving three definitions of success in order to be considered a feasible project. Those three success factors are re-stated below and the key findings for each is included. • Become a premiere multi-purpose field complex o Based on other complexes in the region, if the Columbia County Multi-Purpose Field Complex is developed as recommended under both facility programs it would be one of the region’s premiere multi-purpose field complexes. § The 12 Field Model would become one of the regional leaders in outdoor multi-purpose fields, while the 8 Field Model would become a regional destination for tournaments and events § The Complex would have the ability to draw participants from several mid-major to major markets that includes Jacksonville, Tallahassee, Orlando, Tampa, and the outskirts of Atlanta. • Create a significant driver of economic impact o SFA’s analysis shows that the 12 Field Model will bring over 23,000 room nights per year and approximately $9 million of new direct spending per year at maturity. o SFA’s analysis shows that the 8 Field Model will bring over 14,000 room nights per year and approximately $6 million of new direct spending per year at maturity. o It should be noted that every sports tourism facility that SFA has created projections for that has been built has exceeded its early-year economic impact projections and reached or exceed the mature-year total annual economic impact projection. • Enhance the sense of place and quality of life o Given the trends in the sports and recreation industry, current sports and recreation assets in Columbia County, FL, and the impact of sport and activity on children and families, SFA believes this facility will drive a sense of place and quality of life in the community. o The complex would offer a multi-purpose field asset to a level that currently does not exist in the community and reduce the frequency of families traveling outside of the County to participate in practices, leagues, camps, tournaments, etc.

In recognition of the information above, SFA deems the Columbia County Multi-Purpose Field Complex to be a “Feasibility: Yes, If” project, meaning that there are multiple major key steps/factors that must addressed before moving forward with the project. The top four steps/factors are: 1. A funding plan must be created to cover the cost of development for both equity and long-term financing costs. 2. A site that meets the requirements for size, access, and adjacency to support service providers must be selected and secured. 3. An operating structure must be created to ensure that top-tier management, marketing, maintenance, and service initiatives are in place. 4. A long-term plan must be developed to cover operating losses and long-term capital improvement/replace costs. DRAFT If these four steps/factors can be accomplished, SFA endorses the development of the Columbia County Multi-Purpose Field Complex.
