The Economic Impact Of Stadia And Teams: The Case Of Minor League Baseball, Nola Agha
The Economic Impact Of Stadia And Teams: The Case Of Minor League Baseball, Nola Agha
Sport Management
This paper uses an extensive unique dataset to investigate the justification of government subsidies for minor league baseball teams and stadiums by measuring pecuniary gains in a local economy. Specifically, a dynamic panel data model incorporating 238 Metropolitan Statistical Areas that hosted affiliated or independent minor league teams between 1985 and 2006 shows that AAA teams, A+ teams, AA stadiums, and rookie stadiums are all associated with significant positive effects on the change in local per capita income. The presence of positive effects is strikingly different from decades of non-positive results at the major league level.

Time management is an important part of game strategy in the National Football League (NFL), especially in the second half of a game that could be decided by a field goal. This paper determines the in-game factors that contribute to an NFL offensive team’s total time taken to reach field goal range during the final six minutes of regulation in games that are within three points or less. Using data constructed from 2009-2011 NFL regular season games, we find that neither quarterback rating nor the number of All-Pro players affect the speed at a which a team reaches field goal …

In late 2011, at a time when other leagues such as the National Football League and the National Basketball Association had engaged in work stoppages, Major League Baseball owners and the MLB Players Association harmoniously agreed on a new five-year collective bargaining agreement. This article focuses on the reasons why MLB as an industry has maintained labor peace after decades of work stoppages. The primary aspects of the new MLB CBA, such as changes to the revenue sharing system, competitive balance tax, salary arbitration, and the amateur draft are addressed. The manner in which these economic mechanisms affect areas such …

The impact of economic recessions on business strategy and marketing has recently received increased research attention.

Qualitative data were collected via semi-structured interviews with executives at market-leading sports marketing businesses in South Africa. Grounded theory data analysis was conducted to understand the common patterns within the data. The results of the research point to four significant business model shifts, …

Sportainment: Changing The Pace Of Limited-Overs Cricket In South Africa, Michael M. Goldman, K. Johns
Sport Management
This study addresses the need to deepen the understanding of sports marketing in an emerging market context. The in-depth case study of Standard Bank Pro20 Cricket explores the strategy, execution and results of the successful launch of a new cricket format in South Africa. As such, it contributes to the theory and practice of sport marketing, especially sport event sponsorship. Schwartz and Hunter (2008) highlight the “lucrative” (p. 251) nature of tournaments and championships sponsorships, given the opportunity for media and advertising exposure related to the event. This study documents the effective use of a partnership approach to sponsorship (Meenaghan, …

Choosing The Optimal Area Of Economic Impact, Nola Agha
Sport Management
Economic impact studies tout the benefits of events like the Olympics and the Super Bowl as well as of facilities and teams. Regardless of the methodology used by researchers, all economic impact studies have one thing in common – they all measure impact on a specific area or “local economy.” One struggle for those commissioning and conducting studies is to define the best area of impact. The area of impact should be representative of the region directly effected by the event. Often, there is no a clear answer. A city, a county, a metropolitan statistical area (MSA), a region, or …
