Interesting article about my colleague Michael Sheridan who practices collegiate sports law:

Here is a short piece I wrote for the Daily Business Review regarding the booming South Florida Sports & Entertainment scene! If you are a player in the industry and have any legal needs, please do not hesitate to reach out.

What do you think about public-private partnerships, taxes, and incentives local Governments provide to sports franchises building new venues in their cities? Kansas City has a lot of interesting plans for development in the next few years, one of which is a new stadium for the MLB's Kansas City Royals set to open in 2028. There appear to be plans to make this investment a public-private partnership with the Royals planning to bring $1B in private money to contribute to the total $2B investment. This should bring a lot of economic benefit but there is a potential significant cost to the local businesses and residents who may be priced out after the stadium is built...

It’s truly the game-changer in modern collegiate sports as some student athletes are getting paid for their names through Name, Image, Likeness (NIL) deals. The NCAA, however, does have special rules and limits on these kind of deals, so it’s important that athletes and their parents or guardians are well informed before signing any such deal. In this recent segment for AZ Family, attorney David A. McCarville provides legal commentary on NILs, and what you should know.

It appears my comment was deleted twice from the below post - so thought I'd share it here. Venue owners should listen as well as amplify; that's how we improve, take stock and evolve. The comment: The gig was great - no doubt. Foo's rocked! 🤘🎆 But there was a severe lack of operational efficiency at the gig venue. Examples: The bars were the worst I've experienced - no hyperbole. This is 2024, but multiple 40+ people queues across the stadium, concourses and on the pitch/standing area with dithering staff and stock issues. Then, the grim sight of single-use plastic cups covering the stadium floor (and I'm sure, the stadia seats) - fans kicking through rivers of clear plastic cups to get to exit points. Again, this is 2024 and there are many other sustainable options. Then the misery and danger of trying to get back to Stratford station from the stadium. If you missed the end of the gig, you might have stood a chance. If you stayed to the end like we did, it was a 2-hour kettling-session with little security and no policing. Appalling and at many times dangerous. I appreciate the hubris Graham Gilmore, but your team would benefit from an overhaul in operational efficiency. In almost 25 years of producing global events this was one of the worst operations I've witnessed as a fan. I'd be v happy to talk about solutions or strategic tactics over a cuppa if you do plan for London Stadium to hit London 2012 heights again, and be heralded for operational excellence as a viable international venue on the global circuit. Because again, Foo Fighters will have loved the atmosphere and the ticket sales - but every fan will feel let down by the venue. Sean Egan Candice Egan Amy Moqbel

🏈 The Super Bowl is this weekend already!? 😯 🏈   Whether you are a San Francisco 49ers fan or a Kansas City Chiefs fan, there will be many fans with a reason to celebrate, especially in #LasVegas. 🎉   With several casinos, entertainment venues, massive hotels, and restaurants only a few miles from the Super Bowl stadium, there won’t be a lack of places to go! 🏈 🥂   At virtually every gaming facility in Las Vegas, Won-Doors take the place of conventional swinging doors that limit design flexibility and can be cumbersome for large numbers of guests moving between spaces. At Caesars Palace Las Vegas Hotel & Casino (pictured), the Won-Doors serve as a fire-assembly separator, between the casino and the shopping center.   They are commonly used in sports facilities for football, baseball, basketball and hockey, where large numbers of fans must pass through openings and corridors that must be sealed off in an emergency while still providing emergency egress. #wondoors #firedoors #safetydoors #entertainmentindustry #architects #superbowl

Really like how this story turned out, news/sports team coverage of our minor league team making the Texas League Championship. I focused on the economic impact the stadium has on our downtown economy! Let me know what you think! #mmj #news

Absolutely delighted to chat with Oliver H. about Sports Law and what it means for his wonderful Sports Law blog
