Mr. Nyle Zikmund October 25, 2021 Page 4 of 7 Event organizer survey results will be analyzed to provide summaries of the following data specific to the potential for adding new youth and amateur sports space in Mounds View: • Likelihood of utilizing a youth and amateur sports complex in Mounds View. • Reasons for not choosing to utilize new indoor sports space in Mounds View. • Physical characteristic needs (i.e. number and size of courts/turf fields, other supporting infrastructure, etc.). • Space/seating levels required. • Overall hotel room requirements. • Other important community requirements. • Event seasonality. • Length of the event/activity, etc. • Projected participant, spectator and other attendance levels. • Past facility use. • Perceptions of the Mounds View area. • Other related information and relevant opinions. By combining the results of this step with the analysis results generated in previous steps, we will be able to identify the event markets that represent the primary sources of demand for a new youth and amateur sports complex in Mounds View, upon which future facility recommendations and event estimates are based. Task 6. Facility Recommendations and Utilization Analysis The purpose of this task is to synthesize findings from the previous tasks to analyze and translate market demand into a supportable facility program and project utilization. Initially, we will prepare an analysis of the market supportable facility program for the development of a new youth and amateur sports complex in Mounds View. In analyzing the potential facility development options, we will present a comparison of each market indicated scenario in terms of: • Physical characteristics such as number, size and type of fields and/or courts, hardwood vs. sportcourt, etc. • Fixed and temporary seating levels. • Size of support space and other functional areas. • Level of finish of the facility's d6cor and surfaces. • Size and type of kitchen space and/or other food service areas. • Amount and type of other revenue -producing areas. • Storage space and other such supporting infrastructure needs. • Possibilities for future expansion. • Important equipment, food and beverage and other amenities. Further, we will identify any external factors that could significantly affect the ability of any identified development scenario to maximize its potential. Should any existing complementary facilities, amenities and/or infrastructure be deemed inadequate to accommodate the noted demand, we will conduct a preliminary assessment of such items/issues. We will discuss potential methods of facilitating their development/creation, including incentivizing private sector participation and/or creative public/private partnerships to enhance the infrastructure needed to adequately support any future youth and amateur sports complex investment. Next, based on the identified market supportable demand and event space program(s) identified, we will project the anticipated usage among local, drive-in and overnight visitors. We will evaluate how successfully a new youth and amateur sports complex could accommodate existing and future demand from Mounds View -area users while competing with other regional facilities for the opportunity to host non -local games, tournaments, meets, camps, clinics, practices and other such events.
