The Supreme Courts will be a multisport complex that provides its users with various services. A first class fitness and lifestyle center, three full-size basketball courts that can also accommodate many other sports, a food and beverage/lounge area, a massage therapy clinic and other amenities such as offices, a conference room, a childcare center, and full-service locker rooms will all be available in the facility. Along with these amenities, The Supreme Courts will provide its users with qualified and knowledgeable people to make sure all of their sport and fitness needs are met.
The Supreme Courts will house a large fitness and lifestyle center that will match or exceed any other in the city. This fitness and lifestyle center will include top-of-the-line equipment in free weights, machine weights, and aerobic machines. The majority of the lifestyle center will be located on the upper level of the complex that will surround the three basketball courts. This will allow the users the option of watching the activities going on down below, or to watch one of the many TVs that will be set up for their enjoyment.
This aspect of the facility will be run by a certified strength and conditioning specialist (CSCS) who will hire and train his/her staff to meet the demands of the members. This person will report to and work directly with the general partners of The Supreme Courts and his/her duties will include, but will not be limited to, general supervision, personalized training for members, program development for camps and clinics, and aiding in the marketing and promotional aspects of the facility.
Three full-size basketball courts and six volleyball courts will highlight the main floor of The Supreme Courts. Along with these two sports, the floors will be able to accommodate badminton, indoor soccer, indoor field hockey, touch football, gymnastics, dance, aerobics, and more. These hardwood courts will be manufactured and installed by the industry leader, Robbins Sport Surfaces, and will be the premier sports floors in all of Henderson. With the added attraction of world class portable basketball systems from Schelde North America or BPI, The Supreme Courts will quickly become known as the place to be for leagues, camps, or pick-up games.
With his education and vast experience in this area, the scheduling of events and activities on these floors will be done by Rich Bohne, one of the general partners of The Supreme Courts. The development of sports leagues, camps, and clinics, along with other various day-to-day operations of the facility will also be Rich’s responsibility.
A qualified, experienced person will be hired to run this aspect of the facility. He/she will have the responsibility to meet necessary standards and to report to, and work directly with the general partners of The Supreme Courts to make sure the needs of the users in this area are met. If additional staff are required, this person will hire and train those people in accordance with The Supreme Courts policies.
An area for a massage therapy clinic will be located on the main floor of the facility. This service will be available to both the general public and users of the facility at a cost reflective of the industry standard. This amenity will be an added bonus to the users of The Supreme Courts as it will be conveniently located right inside the complex.
At this time, The Supreme Courts is deciding on whether to hire their own massage therapists or to lease out the space to an already established massage therapy practice.
Other features and services The Supreme Courts will have include:
The Supreme Courts will be the only multisport complex of its kind in all of the Las Vegas Valley. Some aspects of the facility will cater mainly to the City of Henderson residents. Other aspects however, will appeal to everyone in the valley.
Because of the diversity in the activities and programs available in The Supreme Courts, our market segments vary from dedicated workout junkies to people who just want a few hours of fun and recreation.
From 1990 to 1999, memberships at health clubs rose from 20.7 million to 30.6 million according to the latest statistics from **. This trend is projected to continue. Not only that, but frequent users of fitness clubs soared by 84% during the same period. From recent surveys of over 360 fitness clubs (conducted by **), the eight most profitable programs for fitness centers were identified. The Supreme Courts offers six of these eight, including the top three. Due to the market for fitness clubs in Henderson, The Supreme Courts has a very bright future.
The average number of members for multipurpose clubs registered with ** (The Supreme Courts will be a ** member) in 1999 was over 2,104. The total number of ** clubs in 1999 was 3,185, many of which were fitness only clubs which average just over 1,200 members.

Due to the size and convenient location of our facility, many people will be attracted to The Supreme Courts to see what we have to offer. However, we will not be content to just wait for customers to come to us. Instead, we will focus our marketing strategies on those market segments who match our offerings. The great thing about marketing The Supreme Courts, is that each market segment relates, in certain ways, to all the others.
Our main objective with our early marketing strategy will be to get people into our facility. Once people see what we have to offer, and feel the atmosphere that will be created, they will want to return and participate in the many activities and programs that will be available to them.
Following the opening of The Supreme Courts, print and radio media will be used to promote both the facility and the programs that are being offered to attract new people from all over the Las Vegas Valley.
As a ** member, many resources are also available for marketing and promotional ideas that have been effective for other facilities.
The sport and fitness business is a booming industry, with total revenues for 1999 over $10.6 billion. Because of this, fitness clubs are popping up all over the place, including airports and grocery stores! The size and scope of these clubs vary from small, individually owned workout facilities, to very elaborate, publicly owned franchises. According to statistics from **, as of July, 2000 there were 15,910 clubs in the USA with over 30 million total club members. That is an average of over 1,800 members per club. Multisport clubs, like The Supreme Courts, averaged over 2,800 members per club. One of The Supreme Courts challenges is to establish itself as a legitimate sport and fitness club that is appealing to each of its market segments, and position itself as a great deal for members and casual walk-ins alike.
The competition for The Supreme Courts in Henderson include two ** clubs, **, **, and **. At all of these clubs, various types of memberships are available. Some require long-term commitments while other have a minimum commitment of at least one full month.
Potential fitness club members will usually compare clubs and find the one that fits their specific needs, or has the amenities that he/she wants. Value is usually very important to these potential members as most people want to get the best value for their dollar.
The Supreme Courts has a very large potential market. Because of the small number of recreation and fitness facilities in the City of Henderson, we feel we will become the number one sports and fitness complex quickly. This will be accomplished by actively and continuously promoting The Supreme Courts through radio and media advertisements as well as through hosting and supporting various community events.
The Supreme Courts’ competitive edge is two fold. First, The Supreme Courts is the only multisport complex that offers three full-size basketball courts that are available for the members and the community to use and/or rent. On top of this, the scope and variation of the programs that will be run from this facility are unmatched by any other club in the area. The second part of our competitive edge is the location, size, and appearance of the facility that will attract many people into the complex.
By maintaining our focus in our strategy, marketing, program development, and fulfillment, The Supreme Courts will be known as the top sports and fitness club in Henderson. We should be aware, however, that our competitive edge may be diluted if we become complacent in our program development and implementation. It will be important for The Supreme Courts to keep up with the current trends in both sport and fitness programs.
Sales in the sport and fitness club business are based on the services and amenities provided by the facility. The “something for everyone” slogan fits perfectly with The Supreme Courts. All of the users of our facility must feel like they are getting the best possible value for their money. If there is a better value, for equal services, The Supreme Courts will match or beat that value for our customers.
Each person desiring a membership at The Supreme Courts will be able to sit down with a representative and be notified of all of their membership options. During this brief discussion, the person will be also be informed of all of the services, programs, and amenities The Supreme Courts has to offer. It will be important to establish a relationship of trust with our members as membership retainment is an important aspect in our business.

The initial management team for The Supreme Courts depends mainly on the general partners. Rich Bohne and Brian Ehlert will stay within their expertise in running the day-to-day operations of the facility such as scheduling, marketing, and promotions, along with running and developing various leagues and programs for the community. Back-up for the general partners will include staff members who will compensate for the founders lack of experience in each area. For example, qualified personnel will be hired for the food and beverage, massage therapy, and fitness areas. General help staff will be hired on a need basis as the users of the facility increase. There will also be a janitor hired for basic cleanliness and maintenance of the complex.

This is the first in a series of posts on creating a business plan for a sports facility. In upcoming weeks, we’ll discuss how to add details on marketing , operations , finances and an exit strategy to your sports facility’s business plan.
Thinking of opening a sports facility? You need to start by making a business plan.
It doesn’t matter if you aren’t looking for investors. You need to make sure you have a business idea that is going to WORK and not just suck away months of your life in a frustrating failure.
A business plan won’t guarantee success — nothing can — but it will force you think seriously about what you’re about to do and clarify what you’re trying to accomplish.
Unfortunately, many talented former athletes and coaches assume (on some level) that their passion for their sport and their reputation in the community will be enough to sustain a business. A long list of loyal clients is definitely a great start, but there’s much more to running a business — which is why so many sports facilities close down.
Making a plan, using the steps we’ll go through in this guide, will get you in the right mindset.
Don’t be intimidated. I’m not going to make you plot out a line graph with projections for 12 scenarios including inflation. We’re just going to make sure that you understand what it takes to get your business making enough money to be profitable.
Let’s get started.
The first step in creating your business plan is to identify the basics:
Can you describe your business’ objective in a few sentences? Clarifying your main mission will be key to marketing your facility, as well as leading your company and keeping your staff focused. For example:
The mission of DNA Sports Center is to “Develop a New Athlete” by focusing on teaching kids how to move before sports-specific training.
Describe the products/services you’ll offer, and explain why your audience needs these products/services. For example:
DNA Sports Center will offer speed, strength, and agility training that focuses on building self-confidence for all athletes. Other services will include sports-specific training, batting cages, and use of the facility for parties and events.
Add a few details about your typical customer. Briefly describe their age ranges, where they live, their income levels, their interests, and their skill levels. For example:
DNA Sports Center’s services will benefit kids age 6 through high school, although programs for adults and younger children will also be available. Our services will appeal to those athletes who are striving to improve their skills. DNA Sports Center is located in the suburb of Milford and is in close proximity to many sports-oriented school districts and plenty of families.
Explain why the need for your services is not being addressed by current facilities or services that are already accessible to your audience. What will make your facility better or different? For example:
DNA Sports Center is home to the area’s only Parisi Speed School, which offers a proven successful curriculum for improving speed, agility and strength.
This is the big one: How specifically will your business make money? Don’t stress about the actual prices here. We’ll get there in the next steps. For example:
DNA Sports Center’s main source of revenue will be monthly payments for unlimited access to speed, strength and agility training. This income will be supplemented by revenue from facility rentals, sports-specific training, and commissions from private lessons taught by instructors at the facility.

Sports Facility Start Up
Running a sports facility requires a great deal of planning and thought, and you must keep your goals in mind at every step. Prioritizing your target market, equipment, business operations, and the health and safety of your staff and visitors is vital to run a successful sports facility.
You want to consider the location of your sports facility and the customers you want to attract, as well as your expenses, equipment and space. Every factor that goes into starting your sports facility should be mapped out and detailed, making it easier to implement. Here are some key factors to consider when creating your sports facility:
Your target market: Defining your customers will help you develop a sports program that aligns with their needs. A sports program created with your audience in mind will help provide the services they are looking for and prices that they can afford.
Creating your sports program: Consider the games and services you want to offer at your sports facility. Ensure your building has enough space to accommodate different games, schedules, age groups, recreational areas and locker rooms.
Planning your budget: Consider how much money you can spend on equipment, lighting, aesthetics, safety procedures and staff salaries.
Hiring and training your staff: Allocate a budget for hiring and training staff to ensure that the services are well managed. Prioritizing team-building activities is essential for empowering and motivating your team, resulting in happier customers and employees.
Managing your operating costs: Power and utility bills, equipment and maintenance costs can add up quickly. Stay on top of your overheads and manage your expenditure effectively by finding ways to save on energy consumption and rental fees.
Digitizing your sports facility: Make your business more efficient by digitizing your booking systems and programming. Technology can speed up daily processes and help run your sports facility more efficiently.
A robust business plan will help you start and run your indoor sports facility successfully. Indoor sports facilities business plans clearly outline your business's objectives, marketing strategy, operations, finances and future goals. Here is a brief example of what to include in your business plan according to best practices :
Objectives: Include a brief outline of the products or services your sports complex will offer and define your target market. Highlight who your competitors are and how your sports facility plans to make money.
Complex marketing strategy: Define your brand identity, messaging and logo, and research your target market and competitors to establish your prices. Detail any promotions and events you plan on having at the sports facility, and list the sales and marketing tools you will need for advertising and generating leads.
Complex operations: Detail what your sports facility will look like, how much space you will need, the number of staff you will hire and estimates of the money you will need for rent and salaries. Your operations include all the necessary sports facilities equipment, like nets, fencing, balls, volleyball courts and basketball hoops.
Financing: Estimate your monthly revenue from promotions, events and membership fees, and record your monthly sports complex expenses. Create a system for tracking your monthly profit margin.
Exit strategy: Plan for the future by describing your personal exit plan and whether you plan on selling your sports facility or closing it in 10-15 years. It's essential to detail who you plan on selling your business to and how you plan to profit from selling your equipment and other assets.
Various indoor sports facilities incorporate games like track and field, basketball, weightlifting, tennis and soccer. Some indoor facilities offer amenities like custom batting nets . If you want to include as many sports as possible, a multi-sport facility may be the way to go.
Multi-sports facilities divide the space into separate courts or training areas and mix-and-match what games get played where. You can use a soccer court for tennis or use your open areas for strength training and yoga. Some multi-sport complexes include custom baseball nets, basketball courts, rock climbing structures and bodyweight training areas.
You can get creative with the setup of your sports facility. For example, you may install a net on your basketball court so that it can be used for volleyball. You can also use curtain dividers and install netting to maximize the safety of your spectators and athletes. When considering how to use your sports facility's space, consider nets, fencing and curtain dividers to offer as many sports as possible while keeping your spectators and athletes safe.
Sports facilities can generate high revenue by offering multiple games, open areas, equipment and competitive membership fees. Many individuals and families flock to sports facilities because they are a space for the entire community. One of the most significant advantages that contribute to revenue is that sports facilities help encourage physical activity and are often open to the public at affordable rates.
Many sports complexes offer comfortable and safe spectator areas so that spectators can pay to watch games and other events. A sports facility that caters to families and spectators by providing a clubhouse, food stalls and kids' areas can make more money daily or when hosting a special event. Sports complexes can also make money by sponsoring local sports teams and getting them to promote their sports facility by training at their complex.
Sports facilities are popular because they cater to a broad market. They provide a well-rounded service in communities and allow people to participate in sports, spectate and enjoy the facility with friends and family. Advanced sporting equipment, designs, lighting, air-conditioning, entertainment areas and safety measures in sports facilities can attract more people and help drive revenue.
Maintaining your sports facility is essential for upkeeping its appearance and prioritizing the safety and health of your visitors. Your visitors' safety is crucial in a sports facility . You'll want to service your equipment regularly to prevent injury or harm and install protective nets and fencing to maximize the safety of athletes and spectators.
Sports facilities must inform visitors and athletes of any potential danger or injuries in their sports complex. Sports facility staff can ask all athletes and families to acknowledge and agree to the safety regulations and rules of the sports complex by asking them to sign a waiver. Athletes must also be made aware of safety procedures in case of an injury or other harm at the facility.
Prioritizing cleanliness in sports facilities is vital for the health of athletes and their families. Proper maintenance includes regularly cleaning equipment, courts, nets, spectator areas and other areas of the sports facility.
Grand Salm Safety is passionate about helping you create a quality and safe sports facility for your community. We offer expert advice on multi-sport facility programs and provide fencing and netting to increase safety and comfort. Our SPECTO® Fencing Systems are more effective in absorbing impact than chain-link fencing .

Architect Scott Klaus tells Recreation Management magazine how the use of design and technology creates excitement for players and fans
From high school and college gridirons to gymnasiums, and from ice rinks to arenas, athletic facilities serve as an anchor for many communities—a place to congregate and participate in or cheer on games of friendly competition. COVID-19 put a pause to those social gatherings but only temporarily, as the world now begins to emerge from the lockdowns of the pandemic.

BUSINESS PLAN
KID'S WORLD
5568 Inkster Rd. Livonia, MI 48150
This plan is for a franchised indoor children's playground. The plan provides a good description of possible competitors and the methods that will be used to achieve a competitive advantage in this industry.
Mission and strategy, competitive analysis, pricing, profitability, and break even, management and staffing, contingency planning, financial projections.
A market opportunity exists in the Western Detroit area to service children aged 13 and under with a supervised indoor exercise and recreation facility. Market research shows that children often do not get the required amount of exercise to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Indoor playgrounds provide an outlet for active children during inclement weather or when the temperature is too hot or cold for outdoor play. Furthermore, parents want an environment for their children to play without harsh language and an arcade atmosphere.
Kid's World will provide a safe, clean, and stimulating environment for physically active children aged 13 and under to play in and explore. Kid's World's supervised, visually open play area will ensure children's safety, while challenging them to reach, think, interact, explore, and have fun. The store will require approximately 14,000 square feet, consisting of a giant 5,000 square foot play structure for children over the age of 4, a smaller play area for toddlers under the age of 4, an area with several interactive skill games, a snack bar with seating to accommodate 100 to 125 persons at a time, and a merchandise and souvenir stand. Both play areas have soft indoor playpark equipment with extensive padding and no sharp edges. Furthermore, the game area will not offer video games, pinball-type games or games with a violent theme. For family celebrations, such as birthdays and special occasions, Kid's World will offer private party rooms hosted by trained staff to provide a child everything he/she would want in a birthday - several hours of supervised fun on the play structures, cake and ice cream, prizes, food and beverage, and game tokens. Kid's World desires playtime to be as rewarding for the parents as it is for the children, as they spend time together.
Kid's World will be located in a strip shopping center on the west side of Livonia. Within a twenty-five mile drive from this location, there are at least 49,000 children at or under the age of 14, living in a household with average annual income exceeding $45,000. Furthermore, the Census Bureau expects the communities of Canton, Plymouth and South Lyon to be the fastest growing regions of Wayne and Washtenaw Counties over the next decade.
The business will be operated on a full-time basis by a manager, Alice Cushaw, who has had over 3 years of restaurant management experience. In addition, all member-managers will actively assist in the management of the business on a part-time basis.
The owners are requesting a loan to fund a portion of the start-up costs and inventory. They are also requesting a line of credit in the amount of $500,000. The owners are contributing $35,000 to the business venture and various investors are contributing another $40,000. The money will be needed in equal monthly installments commencing three months prior to opening and will be repaid in a steady manner from available operating cash flows. The loan will be entirely repaid within five years after opening with payments beginning three months after opening.
Kid's World is a diversified destination family entertainment center combining recreation, entertainment, and restaurant facilities that creates substantial drawing power. Kid's World's basic focus is children's play and fitness for 1 to 13 year old children. At Kid's World, these activities have been packaged into a safe, clean, climate-controlled, supervised environment for children aged 13 and under to exercise and have fun while stimulating their imagination and challenging them physically. The indoor playpark is based on the premise that if you set a large number of children inside a safe, yet challenging, imaginative soft playground area, they are going to have fun. They are also going to develop basic motor skills, social skills, muscle tone, and self-confidence. Furthermore, the parents can enjoy hours of close interaction with their children in a safe, secure, and stimulating environment.
Currently, there are no other indoor children playgrounds in the Western Detroit area. In addition, there are relatively few alternatives for children's birthday parties. Kid's World will be able to immediately fill this void in the market by providing extensive recreation, entertainment, and restaurant facilities for children to play in and explore. Within 1 year, Kid's World will be known as the primary recreation facility for children aged 1 to 13 and the destination of choice for children to enjoy birthday parties with friends. Kid's World's safe, secure, and clean environment will assure parents while providing opportunities for their children to have fun in a stimulating environment.
Kid's World will base its appeal on providing a stimulating indoor environment for children to play in, while adhering to the strictest quality control standards emphasizing excellence in service, safety, security, food quality and value, sanitation, cleanliness, and creativity. Furthermore, Kid's World is dedicated to the continual development of creative themes and interactive designs that have entertainment and educational value that will ensure Kid's World's competitiveness and success in the family entertainment market years into the future.
Indoor playgrounds serve an increasing need in our society. Studies show that American children are less active and less fit than they were even five years ago, probably due to increasing time in front of television sets and high calorie-high fat diets. Studies have also shown that less active children are more likely to be overweight, and overweight children have a greater propensity to become overweight adults. As people have become more aware of the healthy aspects of their lifestyles, enrollment in adult health clubs, aerobic exercise, recreational activities, and attention to nutrition has increased dramatically. This trend will continue as parents attempt to provide a healthier lifestyle for their children. Another area of parental concern is their children's safety. Nationally, as well as locally, concern for the physical well-being of children has created a further need for a safe play environment. This concern shows no sign of diminishing.
While it is difficult to determine the size of the indoor playground industry, there are currently about 49 million children 12 years old or younger in the United States and this figure is expected to rise to 51 million by the year 2000, according to the Bureau of Census. There are approximately 26 million households with children younger than 18 years of age, who spend about $1,800 per year on family entertainment or $46 billion annually. Per-capita expenditures on children's activities are likely to rise as families with children spend a larger percentage of their income on recreation. Children aged 4-12 spent, from their own income, $6 billion in 1989, up 41% from 1984. This increase in discretionary income is coming from several factors. First, the increase in dual income families has provided for more discretionary income to be spent on children. Second, women are having children later as evidenced by the rising birth rate among women in their thirties. Third, per-capita family income is increasing and families are choosing to take wealth increases in the form of leisure. Last, grandparents are living longer and spending more on their grandchildren. Based on these demographics, industry analysts believe that there is room for about 600 store locations in primary markets throughout the United States and an additional 200-300 in secondary markets.
With the recent concerns over child safety on outdoor playground equipment, many schools have elected to remove their playground equipment entirely. Parents are more aware than ever before over the safety and security of their children's play areas. Consequently, a safe, supervised indoor play area will enable parents to relax while their children enjoy playing in and exploring the soft indoor playpark.
Kid's World will target children aged 13 and under within a 25 minute drive of Western Livonia, comprising about 250,000 people of which at least 49,000 are under the age of 13. Within a five-mile radius of Livonia, census information indicates there are approximately 23,000 children aged 13 and under, living in a household with an average annual income exceeding $55,000. These customers will form Kid's World's primary market base. Kid's World will also target children in the outlying regions of Oakland County.
Kid's World is geared for children 13 years old or younger who desire an imaginative, challenging, and fun environment in which to exercise, play, and explore. For safety, children must be accompanied by an adult in order to be admitted and adults are not permitted to enter without a child. Furthermore, each person admitted to the playpark will receive a color-coded wristband identifying him/her with rest of the party. To further promote security, each person's wristband will only be removed when the entire party is present together at the exit desk. Trained staff will supervise the play areas at all times to ensure adherence to the playpark rules while assisting the children to maximize their enjoyment of the facilities.
There will be several play areas within Kid's World; the largest, a 5,000 square foot structure targeting children aged 4 and over, will be comprised of a series of colorful tubes, slides, ball baths, climbing structures, air and water trampolines, obstacle courses, ramps, and stairs. A smaller play area will cater to toddlers and consist of cushions, ramps, a small ball bin, and toys. To encourage active participation by parents, all play areas will have a visually open design with comfortable rest areas in full view of the play structures.
Kid's World will also be equipped with a smaller area of interactive games designed to promote eye and hand coordination. This area will include the "Magic Keyboard", a unique piece of musical play equipment specifically designed for Kid's World. Parents and children can also play several games of skill to win tickets redeemable for prizes. There will also be a snack bar with seating for 100 to 125 customers at a time. It will serve food and beverages that appeal to children and parents such as pizza, hot dogs, salads, sandwiches, popcorn, pop, fruit juice, cappuccino, cake, and ice cream. In addition, Kid's World will have a merchandise counter with small souvenirs emblazoned with the Kid's World logo such as T-shirts, sweaters, and hats.
Kid's World will have six private party rooms and will offer packages for birthdays and other special occasions hosted by staff members, significantly reducing the hassle and mess for parents. The design of the rooms will allow for groups as large as 30 children at a time. For family celebrations, Kid's World will offer three birthday packages for parties of 8 of more, consisting of a two hour limited time of play, birthday cake and ice cream, free game tokens, and, depending on the type of package, pizza or hot dogs, party favors for the guests, and a special gift for the birthday child.
Kid's World will strive to appeal to value-oriented customers who desire hours of entertainment for their children at reasonable prices. Kid's World will be competitively priced at $4.95 for unlimited play which is comparable to other forms of entertainment. However, the distinguishing feature of Kid's World will be its clean, safe, secure environment for children to play in while parents can either relax or participate in their child's activities.
Kid's World will reach its target customers through such advertising media as local newspapers, local television, and direct mail campaigns. Local television advertising has been found to be very effective in reaching the target market segment of children 13 and under, so we will focus our efforts here. The advertising and promotion campaign will be funded through operating cash flows and will build upon the close proximity of the store to the corporate location. In addition, the franchisor will assist its franchisees through regional advertising programs to obtain synergy among all franchisees within the region. Kid's World will initially promote its concept through a Grand Opening advertisement campaign employing an invitation-only free evening for local business and government leaders and their children as well as local radio coverage. The franchisor will assist in the preparation of initial advertising and scheduling of promotions.
The nature and location of Kid World's business will support both destination and walk-in shopping. Since the majority of birthday parties are pre-planned events, the exact location of Kid's World with respect to major shopping centers is not as critical as it is in other retail businesses. However, parents shopping with their children may desire an outlet for their children in the form of indoor exercise and recreation. Once customers are aware of Kid's World's location, they will return again and again. Figures from the corporate store indicate an average return rate of seven times per child per year. Our financial forecasts conservatively project 1/3 less. The awareness of our location will develop over several months due to advertising, word of mouth, and simple observation by shoppers in the area.
Kid's World will locate in Livonia on Inkster Road in the Heights Shopping Center. This shopping center consists of two separate buildings totaling 73,480 square feet of rental space and contains both destination and walk-by businesses. The center is primarily focused on providing family related services to the local community. Within three miles of this location, census data indicates there are 9,854 children under the age of 14. Within five miles of this location, census data indicates there are 23,061 children under the age of 14. In addition, there are several elementary schools located in the proximity, a day care center directly behind the shopping center, and many other child-related businesses within a few blocks along Inkster Rd. in either direction.
To better ensure Kid's World's success, the franchisor, Kid's World, Inc., must approve the final location and subject it to their proprietary location requirements.
Weekly usage patterns.
With 60 to 65% of the costs fixed and only 35 to 40% variable, even small increases in capacity utilization can have a major impact on profitability. With a projected 60% of revenue coming from Friday through Sunday, it will be important to effectively utilize capacity on weekdays. Kid's World will provide the following services to increase customer usage during this period: group discounts to day care centers, churches, community groups, schools, etc., a frequent user card to encourage repeat customer visits, nutritious food to attract health-conscious families, and promoting birthday parties during the week.
The winter months are usually the strongest, and the beginning of spring and the beginning of the school year are usually the weakest periods. On a quarterly basis, Kid's World's best quarter should be the first, followed by the third, second, and fourth quarters. To manage this seasonal variation in customer demand, management will actively monitor weekly sales volume and maintain a flexible staffing arrangement.
There is a risk that children may tire of the concept of indoor padded playgrounds. To keep the concept fresh, Kid's World will strive to introduce new play equipment, skill games, and/or new marketing concepts annually. In addition, the franchisor is committed to ongoing research and development in the area of child interaction and stimulation through consultation with staff child psychologists.
To reduce the potential for injuries and lawsuits, Kid's World will employ every means possible to protect children from hurting themselves on the play equipment. Kid's World will only utilize the softest and most extensively-padded equipment in the industry. Furthermore, Kid's World will employ trained staff to continuously monitor each play area and enforce the rules of the playpark. The playpark will be designed to provide parental viewing on all sides and at all times. Parents will also be encouraged to play in the equipment with their children (knee pads will be available for a nominal charge.) In addition, security wristbands will be issued to each person upon entering to ensure the child's safety and prohibit stranger abduction of children. Strict security measures will be observed at all times. Kid's World will carry a $1 million per occurrence liability insurance policy in the event of lawsuit.
Competition in the children's recreation and entertainment industry consists of a highly diverse group of children's activities, including television, libraries, YMCA's, health clubs, parks and other recreation centers, movies, the zoo, and related activities. All of these activities provide for enjoyment by both the parents and the children. However, an indoor playground offers a safe, clean indoor environment for physical activity that is specifically designed for children. It provides children with the security and the skill development opportunities that parents desire.
The indoor playground industry is relatively new. Among the existing players in the indoor playground industry, competition is fragmented. The only company with a strong national presence is Surprise Land, possessing over 250 store locations across the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Europe. A significant threat also exists from Connell Corporation, which has started an indoor playground concept of its own, Jungle Play. Although Jungle Play is still in a testing phase, Connell's has the resources and experience to expand its concept rapidly. In addition, there are numerous regional players with fewer than 10 stores across the nation, although relatively few of them are actively seeking franchisees.
Presently, there are no indoor children's playgrounds operating in the Livonia area. Within a 25 minute drive from Livonia are the following primary competitors to Kid's World:
Competitor | Major Strength | Major Weakness |
Captain Sam's Pizza | Videogames | Restaurant focus |
Surprise Land | Large play structure | Congested/chaotic |
Jungle Play | Name recognition | — |
Kidville | Separate toddler area | — |
After reviewing the characteristics and environment of each of the above competitors, we believe that Kid's World offers several advantages over the existing competitors. First, Kid's World offers the lowest admission price, charging $4.95 per child, of any establishment dedicated to providing an extensive indoor playground. Second, Kid's World encourages parents to participate in their children's recreational activities through a careful layout of the playpark which ensures high visibility of the play areas and close proximity for the parents. Third, Kid's World is the only indoor playground operator that provides such unique play equipment as the Magic Keyboard, an air mattress, and games of skill that are specifically designed to promote child development. Fourth, Kid's World goes to extra lengths to ensure the safety and security of the environment by providing such extras as CPR certification for all employees of a certain level, video monitors of the entire playpark, and strictly controlling the entrances and exits to Kid's World. Last, with the corporate Kid's World location being so close to Michigan, name recognition should be high, as many of the potential customers have already been to the existing Kid's World location.
The following section briefly discusses each competitor's market position, strategy, and unique operating characteristics.
Captain Sam's primary focus is on an extensive array of video games, mini-rides, interactive skill games, a puppet show, and food. Although it has a small playpark area for toddlers, Captain Sam's is primarily dedicated to food service and games. Consequently, it serves as a destination business for pre-planned visits, centered around its food service for family outings and birthday parties. It is an open layout with more windows than other children's entertainment centers and has the atmosphere of a large noisy cafeteria. It charges no entry fee, but maintains high prices for its pizza, ice cream, and beverages. Catering more to parents, the Ypsilanti location allows smoking and serves alcoholic beverages along with pizza, hot dogs, and nachos. It does not instill a sense of security for the parents, nor does it provide the challenging and stimulating environment that children desire.
With over 250 fun centers in operation as of April 1994, Surprise Land is the largest operator of indoor playgrounds for children. The company was founded in 1990 and began its early growth through franchising. In 1993, Reeves Entertainment acquired 20.1% of Surprise Land's shares with an option to purchase additional shares up to a 51% interest in the company. In order to sustain market leadership and pre-empt competitive threats, Surprise Land has adopted an aggressive expansion campaign with the goal of securing what they feel are the best locations across the country. Specifically, Surprise Land plans on opening 90-100 domestic fun centers a year and franchisees are expected to open another 100 in 1994, the majority of which will be opened by Reeves Entertainment. At this rate, they will have an estimated 360-400 stores by the end of this year and 600 by 1996. This rapid expansion is evidence of the acceptance of this concept by both children and adults. To complete this aggressive plan, Surprise Land has adopted a regional organizational structure and invested in systems to operate and maintain a chain with hundreds of stores in many markets.
In October, 1993, Surprise Land entered the Detroit market by opening its first store location in Warren (east side of Detroit), followed by additional locations in Taylor (downriver area), Plymouth (western suburb), Farmington Hills (northern suburb). Surprise Land has future plans for an additional locations in the metro-Detroit area, including Troy, Novi, and Ann Arbor. In addition, Surprise Land is planning to locate in such outstate areas as Flint, Lansing, Traverse City and Saginaw.
Surprise Land is similar in concept to Kid's World in that it provides a controlled environment for children to play in and explore with their parents. It consists of the Menster-Zone, a 3,000 to 4,000 square foot play area for children aged 4 to 12, the Tiny-Zone, a smaller play area for toddlers, an area of interactive skill games, five or six party rooms, and a snack bar serving foods such as pizza, hot dogs, popcorn, and ice cream. In addition, Surprise Land provides a quiet room for parents who wish to let their children enjoy the play areas unattended.
The primary difference between Surprise Land and Kid's World is the emphasis on a safe, clean, secure atmosphere as well as the level of encouraged interaction between child and parent. While Surprise Land promotes the safety and security aspects of its play areas, it's easier for children to leave the premises unnoticed and it allows adults to tour the facilities unescorted. Furthermore, the snack bar seating is usually located in the center of the play space, leading to sticky floors, congested walkways, and visible food wrappers next to trash dispensers in every interior corner of the playpark. The play structure at Surprise Land is contained in a smaller area than Kid's World and is typically placed in a corner of the facility. This can lead to heavy congestion in the play area during peak hours, a restriction of airflow throughout the playpark, and a general lack of incentive for parents to interact with their children. Kid's World's play structure is located in the center of the room with benches provided on the walls surrounding the structure, promoting visibility at all times by the parents and staff monitors and encouraging parent/child interaction.
A subsidiary of Connell Corporation, Jungle Play started in 1991 and has since grown to approximately 40 locations nationwide. Connell's plans for Jungle Play include a steady but cautious introduction of new stores located primarily in major market areas. In the Detroit area, Jungle Play outlets are located in Southfield, Dearborn Heights, and Redford Township. Connell's usually builds free-standing structures on land located adjacent to major shopping malls. Therefore, it is likely that Jungle Play may be looking at the available real estate on the exterior of Novi Mall for future expansion. If Jungle Play were to locate in Novi they could represent formidable competition for Kid's World. However, the strong demographics of this area suggest that it could support 3 or more children's indoor play facilities.
Jungle Play is similar in concept to Kid's World and Surprise Land in that it provides a safe, secure, clean, and stimulating environment for children to play in. Jungle Play is somewhat larger in size than Kid's World. Unlike Surprise Land, Jungle Play's play structure is designed to promote parent/child interaction. Jungle Play is particularly adept at providing birthday services by including such extras as a name board to alert all customers of the day's birthday children, a cart for transporting birthday gifts, and extremely friendly and courteous staff. Jungle Play obtains additional business by giving discounts during non-peak hours, allowing groups to rent the facility after-hours, and promoting such activities as overnight lock-ins, fund raisers, and school fieldtrips.
Kidville opened its first and only location this past March in Garden City and has since expressed interest in franchising its concept. Similar in size and appearance to Surprise Land, Kidville offers a multi-level play-park complete with treeforts and slides for children over 4 and a separate play area for children under the age of 4. It is similar in concept to Surprise Land, Jungle Play, and Kid's World, but it does not represent a formidable threat since it has not yet decided to expand via franchising or additional corporate locations.
Kid's World will derive its sales revenues from admissions, games of skill, restaurant/snack bar operations, birthday party packages, and gift shop and souvenir sales. A detailed description of each component of revenue is provided below.
Admission fees will be $4.95 per child (ages 1-17) which includes unlimited play in all of the play areas. Adults will be admitted free of charge and encouraged to play in the play areas with their children. This price compares favorably to other forms of family entertainment such as movies where both adults and children must pay admission. The goal of Kid's World is for a visit to the playpark to become a regular family event. Reflecting this goal, a frequent user card will enable a customer to receive discounts off future admissions to Kid's World after a specified number of paid admissions to the playpark. Statistics from the corporate location show the average child returning seven times per year. In addition, Kid's World will offer group discounts for groups of 12 or more at $3.95 per person to encourage day care centers, youth group activities, and summer camps to visit the playpark. For larger groups of 30 or more children, Kid's World offers a special package at $5.00 per child that includes unlimited play in the playpark, two game tokens per child, a slice of pizza or a hot dog, and a beverage.
The 125 person capacity snack bar will offer food products that appeal to both children and parents alike. It will offer traditional children's favorites such as pizza, hot dogs, and popcorn as shown below on a sample menu:
10" Small Pizza with 1 Item | $4.99 |
14" Large Pizza with 1 Item | $7.99 |
18" by 12" Pan Pizza with 1 Item | $9.99 |
#1:2 Small 10" Pizzas with 1 Item and 2 Large Beverages | $10.99 |
#2: 1 18" by 12" Party Pan Pizza with 1 Item and 2 Large Beverages | $11.49 |
#3: 2 Large 14" Pizzas with 1 Item and 4 Large Beverages | $16.99 |
Garden Salad | $2.50 |
Chef Salad | $3.00 |
Hot Dogs | $1.30 |
Popcorn | $0.50 |
Chips | $0.70 |
Ice Cream Bars | $0.70 |
Pepsi Products, Root Beer, Fruit Punch, Lemonade, Milk, Juice, Coffee, Cappuccino |
For family celebrations Kid Kingdom will offer three birthday packages for parties of 8 of more, consisting of a two hour limited time of play, birthday cake and ice cream, free game tokens, and, depending on the type of package, pizza or hot dogs and a special gift for the birthday child. The three birthday packages offered include the following:
έ Regal Celebration $7.95 per child Three game tokens per child Invitations/Balloons Nine-inch double layer cake Pop/punch Ice cream
έ Supreme Celebration $8.95 per child Three game tokens per child Invitations/Balloons Half-sheet cake Pop/punch Ice cream Pizza or hot dogs Special Kid Kingdom gift for the birthday child
"Supreme "Theme" Celebration $10.95-$12.95 per child Includes all items in Supreme Celebration, plus: Special theme gifts for all children in the party Custom decorated half-sheet cake
The gift shop will contain various souvenir merchandise available for sale such as T-shirts, hats, sweaters, and wristbands with the Kid Kingdom logo. The gift shop will also provide various prizes and gifts for children to redeem with tickets received from completing the games of skill.
Source | Revenue | % of Total |
Admissions | 279,002 | 28% |
Games | 225,456 | 23% |
Snack Bar | 300,608 | 30% |
Birthday Parties | 131,240 | 14% |
Gifts/Souvenirs | 39,455 | 4% |
Misc. | 10,800 | 1% |
$986,561 or $82,213/month | 100% |
Projected fixed costs for an average month include the following:
Rent | 8,750 |
Utilities | 2,083 |
Insurance | 1,400 |
Maintenance | 2,060 |
Taxes | 1,458 |
Depreciation | 6,700 |
Advertising | 3,335 |
Interest | 1,000 |
Salaries | 24,133 |
$50,919 |
Hence, at a projected gross margin of 78% (contribution margin of 83% less franchise fees of 5% of sales) monthly break-even volume is:
$50,919/.78 = $65,281 or 4,340 visits per month
Per the attached financial projections, break-even is projected to be achieved at a monthly revenue level of $65,281. Given our revenue forecasts of $82,213 per month, it appears that we will be able to exceed break-even revenue levels at significantly less volume. Competitive assessment suggests that indoor playgrounds of comparable size and scope typically exceed the break-even monthly sales level within the first month after opening.
Initially, store operating hours will be from 10 AM to 9 PM Monday through Thursday, 10 AM to 10 PM Friday and Saturday, and 12 PM to 6 PM on Sunday.

We have identified a prospective rental location of 14,000 square feet and have negotiated a ten-year lease with one ten-year optional extension. The rental payment schedule is as follows:
$7.50/sq.ft. | $8.00/sq.ft. |
$8.50/sq.ft. | $9.00/sq.ft. |
$9.50/sq.ft. | $10.00/sq.ft. |
The terms of this lease call for a one month's rent security deposit. Per agreement with the prospective landlord, our first ninety days of occupancy will be free of rent. We anticipate the first thirty days of that period will be devoted to equipment set-up and staff training, hence we estimate approximately sixty days after opening as the date the first rental payment will be due. The lease does not contain a percentage rent clause based on achievement of certain sales levels.
The majority of leasehold improvements will be completed by the landlord prior to our occupancy. These include painted outer walls, carpeted and/or tiled flooring, acoustical tile drop ceiling with recessed flourescent lighting, two restrooms, and a manager's office. Items we have budgeted for include: party room construction (estimated by landlord at $10,000), signage - an exterior facade sign, an interior neon sign, and an exterior sign for the shopping center's pylon sign [estimated at $15,000), front entry desk and counter-tops (estimated by franchisor at $9,000), and wall decorations, decorative lighting, party room decoration, storage room shelving and lockers, workshop/game repair room, and miscellaneous items (total budget of $11,000).
In addition to the leasehold improvements, we have budgeted $50,000 for restaurant fixtures and furnishings. These include pizza ovens, refrigeration units, beverage dispensers, sinks, countertops, tables and bench seats, and storage shelving. The two most significant equipment expenditures are the main playpark structure (including the toddler play structure) and the various games of skill. The total cost of the playpark structure has been budgeted at $220,000 and depends on many factors, including its overall size, configuration, and complexity. The franchisor has developed several playpark layouts to accomodate the unique characteristics of our rental space. Preliminary estimates from two indoor playground manufacturers have been in the range of $175,000 - $200,000 for the entire playpark structure. Typically, 50% of the total purchase price is due upon ordering the equipment and the remaining 50% is due upon shipment. Lead-time for playpark equipment has been estimated at 7-8 weeks. The total cost of the games of skill has been budgeted at $75,000. The franchisor has developed an extensive list of pre-approved games of skill to select from, most individual games priced between $2,000 and $5,000 each. Most game equipment companies also require 50% down when ordering and the remaining 50% upon shipment with an estimated lead-time of 4-6 weeks. We have also budgeted $15,000 for computer hardware, $5,000 for the franchisor's software programs, and $5,000 for miscellaneous office equipment, such as a copy machine, fax machine, public address system, and telephones.
The depreciable costs listed above are summarized as follows:
Play Equipment | 220,000 | 5 years |
Restaurant Equipment | 50,000 | 7 years |
Leasehold Improvements | 30,000 | 31 ½ years |
Office/Computer Equipment | 27,000 | 5 years |
Games | 75,000 | 7 years |
Furniture/Signs/Misc. | 25.000 | 7 years |
$427,000 |
These capital expenditures will be depreciated using the Modified Accelerated Costs Recovery System (MACRS) over various lengths depending on the useful lifes of the assets as mentioned above.
Utilities include electricity, gas, and water/sewer. Our estimates of electricity, gas, and water/sewer costs (based on franchisor estimates and contact with Detroit Edison, MichCon, and the City water department), suggest annual utilities will cost approximately $25,000.
Kids World will carry extensive insurance policies protecting it in the event of lawsuit. The insurance policies carried include: $1,000,000 per incident premises liability insurance covering bodily injury, property damage, and non-owned autos; $1,000,000 product liability insurance coverage; 100% replacement coverage on building contents and leasehold improvements; three month business interruption insurance, and worker's compensation insurance as required by law. These insurance policies have been estimated at $15,000 on an annual basis.
Inventory will consist of redemption items, game tokens, tickets, identification bracelets, paper products, food ingredients, restaurant supplies, and gift shop sale items. The budgeted initial investment in inventory is $7,500 based on franchisor estimates.
Based on franchisor estimates, Kid's World will require $50,000 of available cash, line of credit, or other liquid reserves to cover operating expenses for wages, utilities, rent, and similar expenses.
The business will be organized as a partnership under the name of Kid's World. Thomas Jones and Alice Cushaw will serve as Registered Agents.

In the event Kid's World's acceptance is slower than anticipated, expenses can be reduced as follows:
Certain games and planned playpark additions can be leased, reducing up-front cash expenditures by $20,000 - $50,000.
The Secretary position can be eliminated and its job responsibilities performed by the two Assistant Managers. This can reduce salary expenditures by $20,000 annually.
Since the majority of Kid's World's employees are part-time and only scheduled to work up to two weeks in advance, the employment level can quickly and easily be adjusted to operating conditions.
Management fees can be reduced or eliminated entirely, as the member-managers do not depend on the business as their main source of income. This can reduce expenditures by up to 5.0% of sales, or up to $50,000.
These savings can significantly reduce operating expenses in the event of unforseen circumstances, lowering the break-even volume of the store.

Sports architecture stands at the forefront of innovation, blending design, sustainability , technology, and cultural identity to create iconic venues that resonate with communities across the globe. As we journey into the future, the landscape of sports architecture is set to witness groundbreaking trends that will redefine the way we experience sporting events. Drawing insights from various sources, including the significance of architecture as a tangible manifestation of cultural identity, the emergence of sustainable and technologically advanced designs, and the focus on fan engagement and community impact, this article explores the key trends that will shape the future of sports architecture.
With an increasing awareness of environmental consciousness, sustainability is becoming a driving force in the realm of sports architecture. Architects and designers are embracing eco-friendly materials, renewable energy sources, and innovative waste management systems to create greener sports facilities. From solar panels adorning stadium roofs to rainwater harvesting systems conserving water resources, the future of sports architecture will be intrinsically linked to environmental responsibility.
The integration of cutting-edge technology is transforming sports venues into immersive experiences for fans. Advanced audio-visual systems, virtual reality (VR) capabilities, and interactive displays are becoming key features, bringing spectators closer to the heart of the action. Smart stadiums equipped with augmented reality features and real-time data will elevate fan engagement to new heights, transcending traditional boundaries between the audience and the game.
Architects are designing stadiums that engage all senses, from visual displays and dynamic lighting to immersive sound systems and unique culinary experiences. This aligns with the notion that deliberate design choices capture the true essence of a time better than any other form of art, as sports venues become holistic experiences that stimulate emotions and create lasting memories.
There is a growing trend of hybrid fan engagement, where sports venues leverage both physical attendance and virtual interactions. Architects are incorporating technology to enable remote fans to participate in the game-day experience through live streams, interactive social media platforms, and virtual reality fan zones. This aligns with the concept of smart stadiums and fan engagement, as sports facilities embrace the digital realm to broaden their reach and create inclusive experiences for fans worldwide.
Sports venues of the future will embrace flexibility and multi-functionality, catering to a diverse range of events beyond sporting competitions. Architects are designing stadiums with adaptable spaces that can easily be reconfigured for concerts, conferences, exhibitions, and community gatherings. This versatility will ensure that sports facilities remain relevant and active throughout the year, serving as cultural and economic anchors for the communities they serve.
The future of sports architecture will mirror the cultural identity of the communities it represents. Architects will draw inspiration from regional aesthetics and traditions, crafting structures that resonate with the local population and celebrate their heritage. Sports venues will also be designed as social spaces, encouraging community interactions and fostering local partnerships. Collaborative spaces, co-working areas, and dining options will create a vibrant atmosphere that extends beyond the sporting event.
Well-designed sports venues can have a significant economic impact, attracting visitors, generating revenue, and stimulating local businesses. We are very aware of huge stadiums being built around the world when a country is selected to host a huge sporting event. As sports facilities embrace multi-functionality and flexibility, hosting a wide array of events, they become year-round attractions that bring economic prosperity to the region. This ties in with the concept of sports architecture as an economic anchor, with architects responding to the changing user needs and expectations by designing venues that optimize revenue streams and tourism potential.
Inclusivity will take centre stage in the future of sports architecture. Architects and designers will strive to create stadiums that cater to individuals of all abilities, ensuring that everyone can enjoy and participate in sporting events. The incorporation of accessibility features, such as ramps, elevators, and designated seating, will create an environment that welcomes diverse audiences and promotes inclusivity.
As the sports architecture landscape evolves, the future holds tremendous potential for innovative designs that celebrate cultural identity, embrace sustainability, and prioritize fan engagement. From smart stadiums that immerse spectators in the game to sustainable venues that minimize their ecological impact, the sports architecture of tomorrow will be a testament to the harmonious fusion of innovation, cultural heritage, and environmental consciousness.
By responding to changing user needs and expectations, architects and designers will continue to shape the narrative of sports architecture, leaving a lasting legacy that resonates with communities for generations to come. As sports venues evolve into cultural and economic anchors, they will stand as vibrant and immersive spaces, uniting people from diverse backgrounds in the shared passion for sports and celebration of the human spirit.

The P1FCU-Kibbie Activity Center is a multi-use facility created and maintained for the benefit of the entire University of Idaho student body. In addition to being the home of the University of Idaho Athletic Department, the “Dome” is the annual site of hundreds of large and small campus, community and vendor events and activities such as the annual Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival, commencement ceremonies, entertainment events and more. Tens of thousands of patrons visit the Dome each year for athletic competitions, orientations, graduations, music concerts and a place to have fun. It is a destination of choice for vendors and organizations seeking a quality venue location in Northern Idaho.
The P1FCU -Kibbie Activity Center is a multi-purpose, indoor athletic stadium and event venue in Moscow, Idaho, on the campus of University of Idaho. Also known as the Kibbie Dome, it is home of the Idaho Vandals and is used for intercollegiate sports competition including: football, basketball, soccer, tennis and indoor track and field.
Its iconic dome structure is well known in the state of Idaho and beyond for its unique shape and function. It was named after William H. Kibbie, a former U of I student who donated $300,000 towards the building of the facility. Kibbie, who attended University of Idaho in 1936, said this: “It is a university in the classic and real sense of the word…and has maintained its position throughout the years as a leading institution of higher education. The enclosing of the stadium complex should serve to support and further the program of the university in all its aspect.”
The structure represents an engineering feat with its arched roof that spans a distance of more than 400 foot and at the center height is 144 feet from the surface of the turf. The floor area is 93,550 square feet.
The concrete football stadium opened in October 1971 with a grass infield. A year later the second phase was completed and artificial turf was installed to allow for a covered stadium. During the third phase of construction, following the 1974 football season, the roof and vertical end walls were added in ten months and the stadium re-opened as an enclosed facility in September 1975.
The Kibbie Dome can be reconfigured to host a variety of events. One configuration, the Cowan Spectrum, is home to the Vandal basketball programs and provides seating for 7,000 spectators. During the fall 2017 season, the Kibbie Dome also became the home field for the Vandal women’s soccer team. It is currently the only NCAA indoor soccer field in the country.
Over the years, the Kibbie Dome has received and continues to receive significant state, university, alumni and student financial support to keep it structurally progressive and functional — to meet the diverse needs of the programs it serves. In 2011 the Litehouse Center was constructed with premium seating thanks to the generous donation of Bud and June Ford. Student funds still play a critical role in the on-going operations of the complex.
Beginning January 1, 2020, the University of Idaho will implement a clear bag policy for all events in the Kibbie Dome and for events on the Moscow campus with 500+ attendance.

I started compiling this list to help myself stay organized amid North America’s glut of sports venue projects and figured it might be useful for Sports Business Journal readers, too.
Almost $6 billion worth of projects will be completed this year, according to SBJ research, including in the next month-plus with the Chargers’ El Segundo training facility and the Clippers’ Intuit Dome.
The project pipeline is considerably fuller. In just the past few months, two major NFL stadium renovations in Charlotte ($800 million) and Jacksonville ($1.4 billion); a college renovation at Penn State ($700 million); a new $950 million NBA arena in Oklahoma City; and a $780 million soccer-specific MLS stadium in Queens have been approved by local governments, with the Tampa Bay Rays’ $1.3 billion stadium and mixed-use project on deck and on the cusp of joining the approved club, too.
RFIs, RFQs, and RFPs are flying around the country, keeping business development people plenty busy, while I’ve watched more city council meetings in the first half of 2024 than I have in my previous 38 years of living.
Thus, the need for some organization to stay on top of everything (or try to). Consider this a midyear progress report for some of the biggest and most interesting of the dozens of projects in the works or already under construction:
Charlotte/Bank of America Stadium renovation — The outline of an $800 million renovation of Charlotte’s nearly 30-year-old stadium was approved in late June by Charlotte City Council; now, the city’s attorneys need to draft a formal and final deal with Tepper Sports & Entertainment, owner of the Carolina Panthers and Charlotte FC. The vote on that, a bit of a formality, should happen by October or November (remember: NFL owners’ approval is needed, too, and they meet in mid-October). HOK is working with TSE on final renovation designs in the meantime.
Chicago Bears — Not much movement on this situation after a flurry of news in late April that produced renderings of a $4.7 billion stadium (and park) built next to Soldier Field, which would have eventually been torn down once the new building opened. Cold water was quickly tossed on that plan by Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker. With some state involvement critical, Bears CEO Kevin Warren has redoubled his outreach efforts, agreeing to join a statewide economic development board that works closely with the administration. Warren told the Chicago Tribune: “This summer will be critically important; the fall is critically important.” The state legislature is scheduled to meet in the fall.
Delta Center hockey renovations — The Salt Lake Tribune reported last week that Salt Lake City government officials are weighing a half-a-percentage-point sales tax increase that would steer funding toward a new downtown entertainment district, including money to renovate the Delta Center and make it suitable for hosting hockey. If the deal between the city and Smith Entertainment Group (owners of the Jazz and the new NHL team) moves forward, the north end of the arena would be demolished and rebuilt next year, with the south end following in 2026. Further renovations would take place in 2027, completing a $525 million modernization of the 33-year-old arena.
EverBank Stadium renovation — A $1.4 billion renovation of Jacksonville’s EverBank Stadium was approved in late June; the next step is approval by two-thirds of NFL owners during the fall meeting. With that collective thumbs-up, construction could begin in early 2025. HOK is designing this significant NFL refurb, too.
Kansas City Chiefs/Royals — The Chiefs and Royals successfully ignited an interstate battle between Missouri (where they currently play with leases running until 2031) and Kansas, which just passed a law allowing bonds to be floated that would cover up to 70% of new stadiums for the two teams. The Kansas bonds would be repaid with sports betting revenue, state lottery ticket sales and new sales and alcohol taxes generated in the districts surrounding each proposed stadium. More than half of Kansas City metro residents live in the state of Missouri; a Jackson County, Mo., referendum that would have helped pay for a new downtown Royals stadium and major renovation to Arrowhead Stadium failed in April.
Inter Miami — The club’s new Manica-designed, 25,000-seat, $350 million stadium at Freedom Park is under construction and scheduled to open in late 2025, ahead of the ’26 MLS season (Lionel Messi’s contract with the club runs through the end of the 2025 season).
New York City FC new stadium — NYCFC survived the city of New York’s extensive and unusually acronymed ULURP (Uniform Land Use Review Procedure), meaning the club has the green light to break ground on its $780 million, all-electric, 25,000-seat stadium this fall , with opening expected in 2027. HOK is designing, with Turner serving as contractor.
Oklahoma City Thunder new arena — Efforts to replace Paycom Center with a $950 million arena are well underway with a development agreement approved in late May and negotiations on a lease extension that will keep the Thunder in OKC. The city, which owns the current and proposed new building, also is negotiating a contract with an owners’ rep and is releasing an RFQ any day now for an architect, according to a city employee. The city also plans to pursue a construction manager later this year.
Oakland/Las Vegas A’s — The A’s have a temporary home , at least, in Sacramento for the next two seasons, while they plow ahead on securing final approvals from the Las Vegas Stadium Authority, which they hope to obtain by the end of 2024. One significant step remains: the demolition this fall of the Tropicana, which sits on the site where the future stadium would be built. HNTB/BIG, CAA Icon and Mortenson are on board for the A’s project.
University of Oklahoma arena/mixed-use district — The Norman Planning Commission recently approved the billion-dollar-plus entertainment district that would include a new arena for OU basketball and gymnastics. Next stop is a vote by the city council regarding the proposed tax increment finance district that would help fund the project ($100 million of which would come from the school and its foundation, and $800 million of which would come from development partners Rainier and Lincoln Property Company). Legends is advising OU on the project, with Gensler handling initial conceptual design.
Northwestern/Ryan Field — Northwestern University broke ground on its $800 million Ryan Field project in late June, following demolition of the original 98-year-old Ryan Field. HNTB and Perkins&Will designed the new venue, whose capacity will drop from roughly 48,000 to 35,000 and is expected to open in 2026. The Wildcats will play football on campus for two seasons at a temporarily enlarged Lanny and Sharon Martin athletics facility, which normally is home to only the school’s soccer and lacrosse programs.
Tampa Bay Rays new ballpark/mixed-use district — The $1.3 billion ballpark and mixed-use development project funded by the city of St. Petersburg, Pinellas County and the Rays (developer Hines is steering the wider 86-acre development) recently unveiled Mortenson as contractor for the stadium portion. A final vote on the project by St. Petersburg City Council has been pushed back a week to July 18.
Washington Commanders stadium pursuit — One of the more convoluted, unique scenarios on this list, the Commanders, according to owner Josh Harris, have created site plans for locations in D.C., Maryland (where they currently play at FedEx Field) and Virginia. One of the biggest questions surrounds D.C.’s ability to make the RFK Stadium site a viable option for the Commanders; the district doesn’t have control of the site until a bill is passed by the U.S. Senate (it has been passed by the House). Harris has said he won’t commence talks with the district until that bill is passed.
White Stadium/Boston NWSL — Boston NWSL’s efforts to create the second women’s pro soccer-specific stadium in the U.S. by renovating White Stadium is moving through the city’s entitlements process. Upcoming meetings are booked with the Boston Civic Design Commission, Boston Planning and Development Agency and Boston Parks Commission. Crucially, the club received a key green light when a Boston superior court judge denied a local conservancy group’s effort to stop the $30 million renovation project, though the group's lawsuit is still active . If all proceeds as the club has planned, demolition will begin in early fall, with construction following shortly after. The plan is for the stadium to be ready by the 2026 NWSL season.

While Ukraine is promoting a peace plan that has virtually no chance of being implemented, a top Russian official says there's no need to negotiate and "the enemy must crawl on his knees, begging for mercy."
That captures the state of a war in its 18th month with no resolution remotely in sight.
A peace-seeking gathering of more than 40 nations this weekend, organized by Ukraine and hosted by Saudi Arabia, drew heavyweights like the U.S., China, the United Kingdom, and European Union members.
According to Andriy Yermak, chief of staff for Ukrainian President Volodymy Zelenskyy, "We had very productive consultations on the key principles on which a just and lasting peace should be built."
But they didn't include an essential participant in Russia, which has shown no interest in a peace accord that includes terms Zelenskyy considers non-negotiable, such as restoration of Ukrainian territory the Kremlin has illegally annexed, including Crimea, and the prosecution of Russian war crimes.
According to Russian state media, Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov branded the gathering that ended Sunday as another one of the West's "futile, doomed efforts" to rally support for Zelenskyy's stance.
Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, now deputy chairman of the country's Security Council, went considerably further. Medvedev wrote on his Telegram channel that the current peace proposal lacks what he considers three key elements − participation from the conflicting sides, historical perspective, and accounting for current conditions.
"However," he added in his usual bombastic style, "the negotiations themselves are not yet needed. The enemy must crawl on his knees, begging for mercy."

Developments:
◾ The Ukrainian trident has replaced the Soviet state emblem − the hammer and sickle − on the shield that's part of Ukraine's largest statue, the 300-foot-plus Motherland monument in Kyiv. The Soviet-era sculpture shows a woman holding a sword and shield aloft.
◾ At least half of the 30,000 paratroopers Russia sent to fight in Ukraine in 2022 have probably been killed or wounded, the British Defense Ministry said in its latest update on the war.
◾ Nearly 500 Ukrainian children have been reported killed and 1,100 wounded in the war, the Prosecutor General's Office said, acknowledging the actual numbers are higher.
◾ Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida decried Russia's nuclear threats in his statement Sunday commemorating the atomic bomb being drooped on Hiroshima 78 years ago.
Russia bombarded western Ukraine on Sunday with missiles and drones in an apparent response to a Ukrainian attack on a Russian tanker in the Black Sea near Crimea two days prior.
Moscow launched 70 attack drones and missiles, including cruise missiles from aircraft over the Caspian Sea and Iranian-made, Shahed-136/131 strike UAVs, according to Ukraine’s air force.
Three waves of missiles hit the Starokostiantyniv area, said Serhiy Tyurin, deputy head of Ukraine’s Khmelnytsky region military administration. Several buildings were damaged and a fire broke out at a warehouse, Tyurin said. But attempts at targeting the airfield in Starokostiantyniv were repelled, Air Force spokesperson Yurii Ihnat said.
Zelenskyy said aircraft engine manufacturer Motor Sich’s facilities in the Zaporizhzhia region were also hit.
The barrage appeared to be retaliation for Friday’s tanker attack. Ukraine also struck a major Russian port with drones earlier that day. Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova blasted what she called a Ukrainian “terrorist attack” on a civilian vessel in the Kerch Strait.
“There can be no justification for such barbaric actions, they will not go unanswered and their authors and perpetrators will inevitably be punished,” Zakharova posted on the Telegram messaging app.
The drone cut a hole in the tanker’s engine room, but there were no casualties among the 11 crewmembers, Russia’s Federal Agency for Marine and River Transport posted on Telegram.
Ukraine is zeroing in again on the access routes to occupied Crimea, although the latest attempt at cutting them off appears to have failed.
A Ukrainian missile on Sunday hit the Chonhar Bridge connecting northern Crimea to the southern Kherson province, which is partially under Russian control. Vladimir Saldo, the Moscow-appointed regional leader, said the attack caused minor damage to the bridge’s roadway, adding that several more rockets were fended off by air defense. Both sides also confirmed Ukraine had struck a smaller bridge from northeast Crimea to the Ukrainian village of Henichesk.
The Chonhar Bridge, one of three key road spans connecting the Crimean peninsula to the mainland, was previously attacked on July 22 and 29.
Ukraine has also targeted the Kerch Bridge, frequently called the Crimean Bridge, which links Russia to the peninsula it illegally annexed in 2014. The 12-mile bridge opened in 2018 and is a major source of pride for Putin.
Zelenskyy said a guided bomb that hit a blood transfusion center in the Kupyan district in northeastern Kharkiv late Saturday left people dead and wounded.
The Ukrainian president condemned the attack. “This war crime alone says everything about Russian aggression,” he wrote on social media. “Defeating terrorists is a matter of honor for everyone who values life.”
Also in Kharkiv, at least three people were killed and six were injured after intense shelling overnight Saturday into Sunday, said the head of the local regional military administration, Oleh Syniehubov.
Moscow’s Vnukovo airport, one of the largest in Russia, briefly suspended flights early Sunday after a drone attack near the Russian capital. Air traffic at the facility about 9 miles southwest of Moscow was halted after a drone was shot down in the airspace around the city.
The drone was destroyed by air defense systems in the Podolsk region of the Moscow suburbs, the Russian defense ministry said.
Ukraine has stepped up drone attacks in the past month, and the airport strike was one of four targeting Moscow in recent weeks.

That brings an end to our live coverage of the Ukraine war for this evening.
Before we go, here's a brief round up of the day's events:
You can scroll through the blog below to catch up on the full day's updates.
Ukrainian professional boxer Oleksandr Usyk says he has cried about the war in his country behind closed doors.
Usyk, the first undisputed heavyweight champion in almost 25 years, said it was "hard" to see the recent Russian attack on Okhmatdyt children's hospital in Kyiv.
"Yes [I cry], because it's children, it's not soldiers, it's not a big person. They are 10 years, six, 15 - it's only the start of life. But for these people it's the last. It's hard for me," he said, in an interview with Sky News.
Usyk was speaking at the departure of 50 vehicles from London to Kyiv as part of the ULEZ scrappage scheme. The vehicles will be used to support humanitarian and medical needs in Ukraine.
A Moscow court has ordered the arrest of one of its senior defence ministry staff on suspicion of abuse of power, according to Russian state news agencies.
Andrei Belkov, who heads the ministry's military construction company, is the latest in a string of high-ranking ministry officials to be detained this year.
The company builds bases, hospitals, schools and other facilities for the military, according to its website.
Mr Belkov's boss, former Russian deputy defence minister Timur Ivanov, was also arrested in April on suspicion of taking bribes.
Russia won't be able to keep up its offensive attacks in the long term because its "capabilities are not limitless", a Ukrainian commander has said.
Oleksandr Pivnenko, commander of Ukraine's National Guard, said he believes Russian forces "will not be able to conduct active assaults in many directions" after the next several weeks and will move to being "on the defensive".
"The enemy's offensive capabilities are not limitless, considering the losses they suffer," he said in an interview with Ukrainian outlet Ukrinform.
Mr Pivnenko said Ukraine's military needed to use the time until Russia scales down its attacks to form divisions "and prepare them".
But he warned there would be no "radical" change or any major imminent breakthrough by Kyiv's troops, with forces continuing to look for Russia's "weak points" and "bypass the strong ones".
Russia is planning to slow YouTube speeds on desktop computers in the country by up to 70% in a bid to penalise the video-sharing site, a senior politician has said.
YouTube is one of just a few social media sites still available in Russia, after Moscow blocked other popular apps such as Facebook, Instagram and TikTok.
Since the 2022 Russian invasion, the Google-owned company has blocked a host of Russian channels and removed thousands of videos related to the war - including some pro-Kremlin content.
Alexander Khinshtein, a Russian politician in the State Duma lower house of parliament, said the "degradation" of YouTube was a "forced step" against a company he claims "continues to believe it can violate and ignore our legislation with impunity".
He said speeds could drop by 40% by the end of this week and 70% by the end of next week.
Russia has repeatedly fined YouTube for failing to take down content Russia considers illegal or undesirable.
The threat of US sanctions on Russian financial institutions is hampering its ability to secure what it needs for the war against Ukraine, the US treasury secretary has said.
Janet Yellen said Russian revenues had also been hindered by other sanctions and a price cap on Russian oil exports.
The US, UK and other Western nations responded to Moscow's invasion of Ukraine with widespread sanctions targeting high-value areas of Russia's economy, including finance, energy and trade.
Some have targeted members of Vladimir Putin's inner circle, as well as Russian firms linked to the conflict.
A cyber attack by Ukraine's military intelligence agency is causing disruption across Russia, according to Ukrainian media reports.
Sources have told the Kyiv Independent, Suspilne and the New Voice of Ukraine that the seemingly large-scale attack, which has disrupted banking and telecommunications in the country, is now in its third day.
The attack was also affecting Russia's VK social media network and some payment systems, reports suggested.
Ukraine's military intelligence agency (HUR) has not posted anything official about the attack on its Telegram channel.

Vladimir Putin has met Bashar al Assad in Moscow, after a surprise visit from the Syrian president that was announced by the Kremlin this morning.
Footage shared on Telegram by the Russian president's press service showed the two leaders smiling and shaking hands, before sitting down and chatting through their respective interpreters.
"I am very glad to see you," President Putin could be heard gushing to his guest.
Russia has been a key ally for President Assad during the Syrian civil war, helping him regain control over the country following an uprising that began in 2011.
But why is he in Moscow now?

Threats to Britain from Russia's invasion of Ukraine are "alive and well" and "no longer a distant possibility", the head of the UK's defence review has said.
Former NATO chief Lord Robertson is leading a "root and branch" review of the UK's armed forces, launched by Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, to assess the defence challenges the country faces.
Speaking in the House of Lords today, he pointed to the "depraved conduct" of Russian forces as an example of what was at stake and said it was vital that the UK's military was strong enough to deter any threat.
"We need to recognise... that the threats to our country and our citizens are no longer theoretical. They are no longer a distant possibility," Lord Robertson said.
"They are alive and well in Ukraine today, where Vladimir Putin's Russia has brutally invaded and sought to occupy a peaceful, neighbouring independent nation-state.
"Anybody who needs reminding of what the stakes are in the world today need only look at the depraved conduct of Putin's occupiers in those parts of the Donbas and Crimea that they presently and temporarily occupy."
During a debate on the subject, Lord Stirrup said the UK should not put off increasing defence spending, saying that Mr Putin would "not wait upon our pleasure".
"I suppose we could send him a note saying: 'Dear Vladimir, we know that you're a dire threat to the peace and security of Europe, but would you mind holding off until we get the books straight?' I doubt that he would pay attention," he said.
A peace settlement in the Ukraine war cannot be achieved without Russia and China at the table, Czech President Petr Pavel has said.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy has been eyeing a second Ukrainian peace summit in November after hosting representatives from 92 countries at the first summit in Switzerland last month aimed at outlining a roadmap for future peace efforts.
Russia was not invited, and said discussing any plans for peace in its absence was a waste of time. China was also absent.
The Ukrainian president said earlier this month that Russia should attend the second meeting if it goes ahead.
Mr Pavel said another summit was "desirable" - but he told Czech news agency CTK that the negotiations would not make sense without Moscow's participation.
"Without Russia and China at the table, there really won't be any peace negotiations," he said.
He also said Beijing should use its status as an "important global player" to urge Russia to move towards peace in the conflict.
