Feasibility research is often used to forecast economic impact as well as to provide information in the decision to publicly fund sports venues, sports commissions/authorities, or events that may be hosted in a local community.  In broad terms, SportsEconomics can assist developers, local commissions, event owners, and public agencies in assessing the future economics and outcomes of real estate projects, economic development plans, events, and team relocations, to name a few.  Some applications of feasibility research SportsEconomics conducts include market assessment, economic impact analysis, financing sources, and facility valuation.

Given the controversy surrounding the funding of sports teams and events by the public, and the frequent use of feasibility studies in negotiations between governments and event/facility owners, it is critical to appropriately assess net benefit. In addition to our breadth of experience in feasibility research, SportsEconomics has substantial experience in the negotiations process between governments and event organizers/facility owners, and in the explanation of results to various committees and media entities.
