“…While access was not given until now, knowledge of the market is of crucial importance for various reasons: First, in order to deepen the insights into the economic impact of single sports events, it is crucial to include sporting bets into corresponding analysis. So far, existing analysis mostly focuses on ticket sales, television (TV) contracts, and merchandise and neglects the economic value of sports bets (Roberts, Roche, Jones, & Munday, 2016). However, data in this article suggest that economic importance of sport betting is potentially superior with respect to total revenue.…”

Betting markets have grown considerably lately. Despite their impact on the economic importance of professional sports, they just received academic interest recently. This article determines factors affecting the amount of money bet as well as the number of matched bets placed on the largest European soccer league, namely, the English Premier League between 2009-2010 and 2015-2016. Data from the betting exchange Betfair suggest season progress, weekday, number of substitutes, both teams market values, as well as uncertainty of outcome to determine market transactions and, hence, the economic importance.

“…Community stadia are therefore moderate-sized stadia and expectations of what they can deliver need to be adjusted accordingly, particularly as many stadia proponents have over-promised the socio-economic benefits of new stadia (Baade, 1996; Coates, 2007; Siegfried and Zimbalist, 2006). Applying Roberts et al.’s (2016) economic impact analysis of Swansea City FC and the 380,000 spectators attending its Liberty Stadium during the 2011–2012 season to this paper’s two case studies, the gross regional impact (including multiplier effects) of Doncaster Rovers FC and Falkirk FC can be estimated at £2 million and £1.5 million per annum, respectively. By understanding their moderate economic scale and impact, the Keepmoat and Falkirk Stadia were conceived as flagship developments that would contribute to the economic regeneration of their towns, but no extravagant declarations of the number of jobs to be created or investment attracted were made.…”

The emergence and conceptualisation of community stadia in the UK

New professional sports stadia have been widely advanced as flagship developments that can generate jobs and wealth, support place branding and culture-led strategies, and host mega-events. Public funding for new stadia has been secured on these bases but also challenged as stadia costs are under-estimated and the benefits, particularly for lower income communities, exaggerated. Emerging in this context, community stadia are an intriguing phenomenon as they offer the potential for professional sports stadia to deliver on community aims alongside their sporting, commercial and economic development aims. Public funding has followed with a number of community stadia built or planned in the UK, yet with limited critical analysis of the stadium type and its impact. This paper helps to fill the literature gap by learning from two community stadia case studies: The Keepmoat Stadium, Doncaster and The Falkirk Stadium, Falkirk. It finds that community stadia have the potential to deliver across the four aims, with stadia’s association with the world of professional sport facilitating engagement with multiple, diverse and ‘hard to reach’ communities. However, they are also complex phenomena leading the paper to construct a 12-feature conceptualisation of community stadia that can advance practitioner and academic understanding of the phenomenon.

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

O objetivo deste artigo foi analisar os modelos de avaliação da qualidade de serviços e o seu papel na satisfação de espectadores de eventos esportivos. O estudo caracteriza-se como uma revisão sistemática. A busca por artigos originais publicados a partir de janeiro de 2000 até junho de 2017 foi realizada nas bases de dados: SPORTDiscus, SCOPUS, WEB OF SCIENCE e SCIELO Citation Index. Foram incluídos 19 artigos. Os resultados apontaram a existência de inúmeros modelos de avaliação que estão relacionados com a qualidade de serviços no esporte. Atributos do serviço principal como: qualidade do jogo e desempenho dos atletas, além de serviços periféricos como a instalação, a empatia dos funcionários e segurança, influenciaram significativamente a satisfação dos espectadores esportivos. Portanto, sugere-se que a percepção da qualidade de serviços é um antecedente da satisfação.
