Publisher's Note, 2016 Fall Issue of SEAT MagazineJared Frank
This document provides a summary and introduction to the Fall 2016 issue of SEAT magazine. It discusses two main topics: 1) the future of eSports and how it has grown rapidly in popularity, with major traditional sports figures and organizations now getting involved, and 2) the opening of the new Golden 1 Center in Sacramento and how arena design is advancing to incorporate new technologies. The publisher notes that understanding emerging trends is crucial for sports businesses to adapt, as the future arrives quickly, and no organization has a "right to exist" if it fails to change with the times.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.
The document provides a sneak peek at the 2013 ALSD Conference and Tradeshow program including:
- A preliminary schedule of events with session descriptions and venue tours planned for attendees in Orlando/Tampa.
- An overview of how the corporate ticket marketplace has changed dramatically over the past two decades and where it may be headed.
- Details on the new Premium Club being opened by the Cleveland Indians for the 2013 season to address changes in premium customer demands.
The corporate ticket marketplace has changed dramatically over the past 20+ years. Where individual fans once sat in the cheap seats, corporations now own premium seats like suites and club seats. These premium seats generate 40-50% of total ticket revenue for teams. Corporate fans view their tickets as business assets rather than for personal enjoyment of games. They track usage and ROI. However, occupancy rates and lease lengths have decreased as teams have raised prices. Teams now focus more on the fan experience through amenities and technology to attract corporate fans willing to pay high prices.
Enjoy this free sample of Act I of Season of the Artist, the debut poetry collection from J. Christopher Frank. Season of the Artist chronicles the defining twentysomething years of an American Millennial, anxious about his uncertain future, stemming from his unfulfilled present and wistful past. As he maneuvers through the many dualities of life, including love and loss, excess and debt, and nostalgia and exploration, he is ultimately liberated by an epiphany that all life is connected by the willingness to risk it all for the sake of creation. In the end, the transformed artist embraces with gratitude the beauty and bleeding in his life. But not before the seasons turn. It first takes a few sobs to awaken the bildungsroman.

The article discusses the growing emphasis on sustainability, both environmental and economic, within the venue development industry. It argues that sustainability provides a way for venues to focus on both reducing costs through initiatives like green building practices, as well as generating new revenues. While the concepts of sustainability were initially seen as exclusive or dictatorial by some, they are now becoming more mainstream and cost competitive. Venues that have incorporated sustainable practices like LEED certification are seeing both operational cost savings and additional revenues over the long term. Sustainability offers the industry a way to balance focusing on reduced costs and new revenues.
The state of the premium seating industry is in flux as teams respond to changes in the marketplace. Leases are getting shorter, occupancy rates are lower, and no-shows are up. However, event suites are increasing in popularity. Food and beverage is trending toward one price packages. Leagues are more involved in premium seating best practices sharing. Technology is becoming more prevalent in venues. Teams are offering new premium product configurations and shorter contract terms to attract customers. It is a time of transition as the industry adapts to economic changes.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

What is your favorite ALSD Conference ever attended and why?
There is no way to choose a favorite conference, but one of the most
touching moments happened at the 2007 show in Arizona, when ALSD
staffers and Board Members donated hats to children with cancer who
were losing their hair. LIDS 4 Kids was a great event, and we met kids
that touched our hearts, like the one in the photo.

felt the networks I made and the educational benefits I gained helped
me in my career. Each year before and after that have done all of the
same, but that one seems to stick out in my mind. Plus the city and

Now in his 15th year with AEG and recently selected by the
L.A. Times as one of the 100 most influential people in southern
California and by the Sports Business Journal as Sports Executive of
the Year, Leiweke has acquired or merged more than 50 divisions
and companies whose alliances create a global live entertainment
organization capable of developing, producing, promoting,
marketing and managing sports and entertainment programming in
both facilities owned and operated by AEG as well as other venues.
AEG includes divisions such as AEG Live, devoted to all aspects of

18 months, STAPLES Center is home to four professional sports
franchises, the Los Angeles Lakers, Los Angeles Kings, Los Angeles
