Choose a city in Canada to locate a major sports franchise where one does not currently exist. An example might be an NHL team in Halifax, Nova Scotia. a) Explain why that city makes sense for a new franchise. You will need to address population, other sports in that city (competition for your franchise), location (are there other smaller cities nearby that could add to the fan base), local industries that could help finance the operation, existing facilities (is there already a stadium/arena that could be used?). (30 pts) b) Discuss how you would generate interest in the franchise; e.g. local media, local industry that could support the franchise as an owner, advertiser or box-seat buyer. (15 pts) c) What is particular to Canada that you can capitalize on to make this venture a success?. (10 pts) d) What are the major factors for success and failure of the franchise? (10 pts) e) List other new franchise' examples from other cities (not necessarily Canada), what worked for them and what did not work. How can you learn from this? (20 pts) f) What league (NFL, MLB, NHL) did you choose, and why? Are there factors specific to the league you chose that will lead to success, or failure? (15 pts) To summarize, you need to research the league and the location, and present a well-thought-out case for why your city of choice makes sense.
