The growing global sport industry requires that the sport management curriculum keep abreast of new and proven management techniques. The book provides readers with a comprehensive up-to-date introduction to each element of facility management for the full range of sporting events. The demand for individuals who are educated and trained in facility management event organization and risk management has grown significantly in the past decade.

The authors have meticulously provided photographs, case studies, chapter summaries, questions and industry examples to supplement each chapter and to assist the student in gaining an overall picture of the sporting event industry today. The book provides in-depth discussions about positive advances (e.g. ticket purchases concessions stadium design) that have made the entire experience easier and more comfortable for fans; and about the negative economic and cultural consequences for sport events after 11 September 2001.

Noy what I expected.,
This review is from: Sport Facility Management: Organizing Events and Mitigating Risks (Sport Management Library) (Hardcover)
I ordered this book in preparation for a job opportunity. I found the book to be somewhat dated and frankly simplistic. It wasn't what I expected (based on it"s positive reputation and one of a few of it's kind).

This review is from: Sport Facility Management: Organizing Events and Mitigating Risks (Sport Management Library) (Hardcover)
This book was used in my sport facilities class and was a great read. The way the chapters are set-up results in smooth reading and does a great job of relating to today's facility culture.
