Sink Combs Dethlefs understands the functional aspects of an entertainment venue: the moving parts, that make a building orcomplex successful. The vision; the atmosphere; the impression it leaves; is one of the defining aspects of a facility and the one ofthe hardest to achieve. It takes great consideration of space and place. The building must function to a degree that function goesunnoticed for the atmosphere of a campus venue to shine through.

Introduction / Statement of the Problem:Although the $79 million of Civic Center improvements currently under construction are significant, theCity of Rochester is still in need of a modern multi‐purpose community arena, which would addsignificant support to the success of to the Civic Center complex as well as helping to establishRochester as a major regional destination for business, hospitality, entertainment and sports.
Benefits of New Arena:• A vibrant and flexible downtown gathering place for the Rochester community
• Significant return on public investment, including economic and fiscal impacts
• Increased diversity and number of arena events
• Increased overall visitation and activity for downtown Rochester
• Hotel room nights
• Restaurant and bar revenue
• Support service revenue
• Retail activity
• New Jobs

Key Issues:
• Taylor Arena, the existing venue added to the Civic Center in 1986, can only accommodate amaximum of 3,400 patrons in permanent seats and up to approximately 4,900 patronswhen temporary chairs are added.
• The sightlines from the permanent seating positions are poor for most events as comparedto modern arenas and concert venues.
• Operational flexibility is limited for many event types, including concerts, family shows,hockey and other sports. Promotors do not like the configuration.
• Arena and adjacent park areas need to work together to create operational synergies andnew event opportunities.
• Due to these limitations and its age, the Taylor Arena is nearing functional obsolescence andis not allowing Rochester to reach its full potential as a regional destination forentertainment and sports – as well as the significant collateral benefits that are associatedwith these events.

Market Assessment Overview:
We have engaged Johnson Consulting, based in Chicago, to provide market data related to the USHL, concerts, family shows, trade shows and other events due to their familiarity with the upper Midwest market.
• Assessment of Median Household Income and employment base in comparison to national averages and other competing markets. This is good indicator of greater levels of disposable income for entertainment spending.
• Evaluation of average USHL attendance per game in other markets as an indicator for potential attendance ranges in Rochester.
• Preliminary assessment of demand for concerts, family shows and other events
• Preliminary assessment of potential demand ranges for premium seating including Suites, Club Seats and Loge Boxes.
• Identification of future study needs including user surveys and promoter surveys to better understand detailed demand by segment (Premium, GA other), pricing and event mix.

SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS:
• Strong Median Household Income ($64,146 Rochester vs $53,217 National), and growth is a keyindicator for greater levels of disposable income for entertainment spending.
• Solid employer base anchored by Mayo Clinic is a key indicator of demand for all event types aswell as premium seating demand.
• 3 ‐ Year Average USHL Attendance per Game is approximately 2,800. Johnson Consulting’sanalysis indicates average USHL attendance in Rochester may be in the range at 2,500 to 3,500 pergame when certain adjustments are made to account for larger markets.
• The USHL is a viable and growing league that is much stronger than it was in 2002.
• Suite count in comparable markets and recent arenas is generally 12 ‐ 24 Suites. Mayo may favorNon‐Suite premium seating such as Loge Boxes and Club Seats
• Loge Boxes are a strong trend Nationally and appear to be supportable in Rochester. PotentialInventory could be projected at 8 to 14 Loge Boxes with 4 to 6 seats each.
• Club Seat range in comparable markets and recent arenas is generally 500 to 900. Higher end ofthe range appears to be supportable in Rochester.
