This issue of Sports News focuses on facilities management.
Some facilities involve more sport management than others.
But even when a stadium or arena's primary purpose is to provide playing space for a home team, it is increasingly seen as a multi-use facility. The goal is to keep facilities in use as much as possible. The Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome in Minneapolis has something going on 350 days a year, including public session rollerblading. Other arenas have hosted supercrosses, monster truck shows, and drag racing. Another trend in facility management is privatization.
