Narrated Business Proposal for the Philadelphia Eaglescamrynascott12
Slide 1:
Welcome, and thank you for joining me today. We will explore a strategic proposal to enhance parking and traffic management at Lincoln Financial Field, aiming to improve the overall fan experience and operational efficiency. This comprehensive plan addresses existing challenges and leverages innovative solutions to create a smoother and more enjoyable experience for our fans.
Slide 2:
Picture this: It’s a crisp fall afternoon, driving towards Lincoln Financial Field. The atmosphere is electric—tailgaters grilling, fans in Eagles jerseys creating a sea of green and white. The air buzzes with camaraderie and anticipation. You park, join the throng, and make your way to your seat. The stadium roars as the Eagles take the field, sending chills down your spine. Each play is a thrilling dance of strategy and skill. This is what being an Eagles fan is all about—the joy, the pride, and the shared experience.
Slide 3:
But now, the day is marred by frustration. The excitement wanes as you struggle to find a parking spot. The congestion is overwhelming, and tempers flare. The delays mean you miss the pre-game excitement, the tailgate camaraderie, and even the opening kick-off. After the game, the joy of victory or the shared solace of defeat is overshadowed by the stress of navigating out of the parking lot. The gridlock, honking horns, and endless waiting drain the energy and joy from what should have been an unforgettable experience.
Our proposal aims to eliminate these frustrations, ensuring that from arrival to departure, your experience is extraordinary. Efficient parking and smooth traffic flow are key to maintaining the high spirits and excitement that make game days special.
Slide 4:
The Philadelphia Eagles are not just a premier NFL team; they are an integral part of the community, hosting games, concerts, and various events at Lincoln Financial Field. Our state-of-the-art stadium is designed to provide a world-class experience for every attendee. Whether it's the thrill of game day, the excitement of a live concert, or the camaraderie of community events, we pride ourselves on delivering a fan-first experience and maintaining operational excellence across all our activities. Our commitment to our fans and community is unwavering, and we continuously strive to enhance every aspect of their experience, ensuring they leave with unforgettable memories.
Slide 5:
Recent trends show an increasing demand for efficient event logistics. Our customer feedback has consistently highlighted frustrations with parking and traffic. Surveys indicate that a significant number of fans are dissatisfied with the current parking situation. Comparisons with other venues like Citizens Bank Park and Wells Fargo Center reveal that we lag in terms of parking efficiency and convenience. These insights underscore the urgent need for innovation to meet and exceed fan expectations.
Slide 6:
As we delve into the intricacies of our operations, one glaring issue emer

3. Charles Davis, a cricket statistician claimed to have found many mistakes in old scorecards
in tests before 1960s such as:-
●In the 1903-04, Victor Trumper scored 187 not out, but his scoring strokes add up to only
185.
●Sidney Barnes scored 234 in 1946-47, but in one surviving scorebook his strokes add up
to only 233.
●Charlie McCartney's famous 345 against Notts in 1921 was probably 343.
But the claim that made big news was about a match in 1928-29 between England and
Australia. He says that in that match a boundary was perhaps scored by X not by Jack
Ryder as the boundary was added to Ryder’s score.
Give X and how is that boundary relevant to X?
1.
4.
5. X – Donald Bradman
The boundary meant Bradman’s test average would be 100.
6. Prometheus is a Titan, the son of Iapetus and Themis, and brother to Atlas, Epimetheus
and Menoetius. He was a champion of mankind, known for his wily intelligence, and he
stole something from Zeus and gave it to humans, which greatly helped them. Zeus then
punished him for his crime by having him bound to a rock while a great eagle ate his liver
every day, only to have it grow back to be eaten again the next day. How has Prometheus’s
crime been immortalised?

12. In 2004 Olympic, Cián O'Connor became an instant national hero, being the only Irish
medalist that year. But their joy did not last long as O'Connor was later stripped off his
medal later that year.
One of the major reason of stripping of medals in world of Sports is person being tested
positive for doping. However in this case O'Connor did not test positive for doping
himself.
Name the sport he played and why was he stripped off his medals?

15. Silver Reunion is an ESPN 30 for 30 shorts directed by Rory Karpf. The film tells about a
secret meeting during summer 2012.
The 12 members of a team reunited to discuss a four decade old matter and like the jury
in "12 Angry Men," the verdict needed to be unanimous :accept, or forever refuse.
Which team?
5.
18. Who’s seen here, holding a demo
copy of his single 'Head Over
Heels In Love’?

Germany.
6.
21. By the end of last decade, the Pakistan government launched an energy conservation
drive and there were strict instructions that no exceptions should be made for anyone,
irrespective of his or her position, while implementing the campaign to save power.
In accordance to this rule Water and Power Development Authority (WAPDA) raided the
residence of X’s family, as they were preparing to celebrate the homecoming of X who had
just returned to his country after his ‘biggest achievement’(perhaps) .
X’s brother later said, "If the government wants us to celebrate the event in the dark, we
will do."
X and what celebration?
7.
24. X was Jewish and perhaps it was destiny that his biggest success came on
German Soil. He created a record in the latter half of the 20th century, one
which was broken more than three and half decades later.
When he was asked how it felt, as a Jew, to be so successful on German soil, he
answered: “I always liked this country – even though this lampshade is
probably made out of one of my aunts.”
He should also thank Israeli racewalker Shaul Ladany for saving his life.
Give X and his achievement?
8.
27. Bruce Perry was a British Police constable. His helmet/hat has been on show at The Rugby
Club of London, attached to a photograph of a free-spirited Australian Michael O’Brian
since 1974 rugby match between France and England. Later, that helmet/hat was
auctioned for charity in 2000 and was sold at 2400 pounds.
In that match O’Brian’s mates challenged him for a daring act which he successfully
completed after having a few drinks and won 10 pounds. He was arrested for his act and
was fined 10 pounds(exactly the same amount he won) by Richmond magistrates for
“insulting behaviour”.
A)What first did the world of sports witness?
B)Why was the significance of that hat?
9.
30. Harmanpreet Kaur was awarded the Arjuna award in 2017. For the ceremony at
Rashtrapati Bhawan on Sports Day she had to wear a saree. As her parents were coming
for the ceremony, so her mother would have been there to help her in wearing a saree.
But due to some unfortunate event her parents could not start their journey to Delhi.

So why did not her parents come/ what unfortunate event?

hometown.
34. At the 1956 Olympics, there was lot of tension before the water-polo match between
USSR and Hungary as the Soviets had taken advantage of their political control of Hungary
to study and copy the training methods and tactics of the Olympic champion Hungarians
after the Hungarian revolution.
From the beginning of the match kicks and punches were exchanged. By the final minutes
of the match, as Hungary was leading 4–0, Soviet player Valentin Prokopov
punched his marker Hungarian player Ervin Zádor causing a bleeding gash around his eye.
There were reports that the the water in the pool turned red which was not true.
What name was coined to this match due to these incident?(5,2,3,5)
11.
38. X was an amateur cricket team founded by author J.M. Barrie, and was active from 1890
to 1913. Notable figures to have featured for the side include Rudyard Kipling, H.G. Wells,
Arthur Conan Doyle, Jerome K. Jerome, P.G. Wodehouse, among others. Barrie’s
enthusiasm for the game eclipsed his talent for it, and the team played for the love of the
game, rather than for the results.
The name of the team was a play on Barrie’s name and on a phrase in an Asian language
that he thought translated to “Heaven help us” or “God help us”, rather than another
phrase that also involved God in the translation.
Name the team. (You have all heard this phrase before, and in the current time period the
phrase is used in a different context.)

2.
45. It originally started as a convenient way for groundskeepers to get around, and has
since grown into an international sport. The convenience was because the
groundskeepers were able to use one of their equipment used on the job, especially
in winter for the sport, and it enabled them to carry it around easily. It was included in
the X games for one year, but removed because of a serious injury.
What sport?
3.
46. Most of us have done this activity while we were on a holiday near a river/lake, and

66. Sachin Tendulkar was first Indian to use tricolour on helmet apparently. He was criticized
for disrespecting the flag in a certain way. So he dropped the flag from his helmet for
some time. But later he again started using the flag after some adjustment. And this time
he was not criticized. And the second version in now used by all the players.
What was the adjustment/change?

Earlier, the flag was below the BCCI logo
69. Phil Brown, the then Hull City manager, said, “Great comedy is about timing. I had
no idea it was going to happen. I was trying to arrange a five-man midfield at the
time so I didn’t see it. But my analysis guy showed me it on the laptop when we got into
the changing room.”
The player shown on the advert next was ‘in the centre’ of what Phil Brown is
talking about. Name the footballer and what is being talked about? (1+1)
14.
72. X is a double Olympic champion, and became the first athlete to successfully defend an
Olympic Marathon Title, when he broke his own world record.
In 1969 he was driving his Volkswagen Beetle when he had to swerve to avoid a “fast,
oncoming car”, according to his daughter. He lost control of his car and it landed in a ditch,
trapping him. He was freed out of the car but the accident left him quadriplegic.
He was operated on at the Stoke Mandeville Hospital in England and his condition
improved to paraplegic. At the insistence of his trainer, he took part in the 1970
International Paraplegic Games held at Stoke Mandeville (picture shown on next slide).
Who is this legend?
15.
76. During the late 19th century most Americans viewed the cigarette as the bastard son of the
Cigar. Unlike gentlemanly diversions such as snuff and chewing tobacco, cigarettes were
strictly for the riffraff. In order to increase cigarette trade, tobacco moguls adopted an
ingenious marketing tactic which was a huge success in convincing mainstream America to
light up. What did they do?
16.
77.
78. They introduced Baseball cards on the packets of cigarettes. People wanted
to complete their collections and hence started tobuy(and smoke) more
cigarettes.
79. Yulia Lipnitskaya is a Russian former competitive figure skater, and a winter Olympics gold
medallist. She watched a movie multiple times and it became her favourite, so much so
that she based her free skate routine for the Sochi Olympics (where she won the Gold) on
the theme from that movie and wanted to be a certain character from that movie. Initially,
her coach was not convinced that it was a good idea and they struggled to find a
choreographer for the program. What movie and what character?
17.
83. They were purchased by a company called Power Home Remodeling, which is based in
Philadelphia.
Shown is the second in a series of three. The first one has the number 23 on it, the second
(shown) is a reference to something and the third gives the actual purpose of the three.
All of them are on Interstate-480 heading into Cleveland. What is the purpose of the
three, and what has this been inspired by?
18.
84.
85.
86. Asking LeBron James to sign for the Philadelphia 76ers as he is beconig a
free agent at the end of the season.
87.
88.
89. They had nothing in common with each other except sharing a surname. Y was a feared
man , while X was a well respected athlete, and his strong character made him a role
model for many of his country in a time when fear gripped the nation. Y created an image
for himself as a Robin Hood of his country, opening clinics, creating low-cost housing and
building football fields, but he was known to use violence to achieve his goal, and their
fates intertwined when a mistake from X proved fatal.
Name the movie based on these two people.
19.
92. The name of the sport itself is derived from French – “To receive”. Interestingly, the word
used for zero in scoring for the sport is also derived from French, and is thought to be a
distortion of the French word for egg, because that is what the zero would look like.
Another possible explanation for the scoring is from a 17th century expression, play for
______, meaning to play without any wager, for nothing. It is this meaning of nothing that
the word takes on in the sporting context.
Give the sport and the word used for zero.
20.
95. Andre Laguerre was the editor of Sports Illustrated Magazine in 1964, and was unable to
find content for the magazine to fill the winter months. All major sporting events would
take place in the spring or summer, and it was a typically slow point in the sporting
calendar. He took the help of fashion reporter Jule Campbell for this problem, and came
out with something that became a raging success, and a favourite of men and teenage
boys.
What did he start, that became a massive success?
21.
98. #6 – Orlando Magic, Sacramento Kings
#455 – Cleveland Indians
#12 – Seattle Seahawks
#12 – Bayern Munich
#13 – Reading, Notts County, Norwich City.
What is common to all these Jersey Numbers?
22.
101. X was created in 1965 at the University of Florida by Robert Cade, Dana Shires, among
others. It was created following a request by Florida Gators handegg head coach Ray
Graves. Ten people tested this initially, and the results were deemed to be successful. The
product was named thus because they wanted to create a commercial product, and the
original spelling would mean that they had to perform clinical tests on thousands of
people.
What?
23.
