You are the new General Manager for the Sioux Falls Arena, a multi-purpose arena located in Sioux Falls, SD (approximate population of 200,000). Built in 1961, this 7,000-seat arena can flex to accommodate an ice sheet for hockey or a hardwood court for basketball, volleyball and other sports. Until recently, it was home to Augustana Universitys mens and womens basketball teams and previously hosted NBA D-League, United States Hockey League, and Indoor Football League games. You are tasked with increasing the usage of the facility and two primary options have been developed: Option 1: Enter a contract with a new minor league hockey franchise that would include a season of 15 home games or Option 2: Secure multi-year bids to host (1) a championship tournament for a mid-major NCAA Division I conference in mens basketball and (2) a conference championship hockey tournament for a NCAA Division I mens hockey conference. What are some advantages and disadvantages of each option? Project the possible impacts in event staffing for each option and consider the marketability of events within each option. How would the location of the city (geographic region and market size) impact your decision as the GM?
