Purchase options and add-ons
The first edition of this groundbreaking text published in 1995 has been adopted in universities throughout the world and has been translated into Chinese and Japanese. Rather than simply updating sections of various chapterscommon to most new editionsthe authors approached each chapter as though writing the book for the first time. The business of sport is fast paced and ever changing. The content of the Second Edition captures the many new and creative ideas managers in sport organizations have implemented in response to their dynamic work environment. The second edition also maintains its original focus on conventional income sources available to sport organizations including ticket sales premium seating options concessions and the sale and execution of corporate sponsorships.
Financing Sport maintains a strong practical orientation. Numerous vignettes or mini-cases drawn from actual practice are interspersed throughout the book. Students enjoy knowing how capital financing and revenue acquisition practices are actually being used by sport organizations; therefore the authors include numerous real-world examples to illustrate many of the best practices employed by sport managers. This "nuts and bolts?treatment allows readers to confidently transfer the methods to effective practice.

- Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2012Such a great book. I am truly inspired every time I read its contents. I know I will be a better sports financier for having read this material. Good stuff.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 23, 2009need this book for school. it got here fast and in the condition described. i would purchase from this seller again.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 20, 2010The book is a bit outdated because some of the things it talks about in relation to some of the stadiums and things to come are in existence or never came to be. The concepts are relevant and can be applied in a useful manner. The book is written in such a way that anyone can comprehend the material. It's simple and straight-forward. The chapters are slightly long, but it all flows so it makes for a quick read.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2014A bit outdated but concepts are good so far. The book is fairly large so it would have been nice to have the option to purchase in Kindle edition but at least I'm getting a bit of a workout with my reading.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 2009This book is a great source of information. I am an aspiring sport manager and I found this book to be an excellent addition to my library. I highly recommend it.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2000For those who enthusiasts of Sport Business and/or the financing of amateur, collegiate and pro sports, this is excellent
