SPORTS MANAGEMENT: LET'S GO TO THE VIDEOTAPE!

Hey Sports Management kids! Now that you have finished your Stadium Research projects, it is time to take things one step further and see what other kind of valuable information you can learn from Dan Meis, master stadium design architect and creator. Dan has designed and worked on many different ballparks and venues, including Seattle's Safeco Field and LA's Staples Center. Dan brings a unique twist of creativity to the table when it comes to these designs so make sure you grab a pen and listen up....you are about to learn something!

While you are watching the following video clip, please answer the following questions:

1. What are 3 things or ideas that Dan has incorporated into his designs that have really added to the fans' excitement and enjoyment of his finished product?

2. What are 2 types of consumer behavior patterns that Dan has noted and taken into his designs? (In other words, what are 2 things that the fans have seemed to really enjoy and flock to when visiting his venues?)

3. Tell me how you might plan to incorporate two of Dan's design ideas into your own team's work and why it will be good for the overall business direction of your new venue.


In the words of Warner Wolf, "LET'S GO TO THE VIDEOTAPE!!!"
