The sports and entertainment industry is experiencing unprecedented growth while facing critical challenges in expanding stadium and arena infrastructure, adapting to evolving consumer behaviors, and achieving ambitious operational revenue goals. These challenges are further amplified by the need to provide investor confidence while navigating the complexities of industry-wide economic development. This requires critical stakeholder engagement with local taxpayers, businesses, and community expectations.
Local and domestic content policies have been integral to the U.S. sports and entertainment industry for decades, enabling the creation of some of the most transformative stadium and arena projects in U.S. history. These policies have supported long-term operational leases, public construction and operations funding, and tax incentives. But what exactly are local and domestic content policies, and why are they even more essential today to power the industry’s growth?
This summit will explore how sports and entertainment organizations—both large and small—can leverage these policies to drive innovation, secure public funding, and achieve sustainable growth while meeting the demands of modern audiences and economic conditions.
