Join The Sports Executives Association

by |May 4th, 2010

The highly anticipated Sports Executives Association is live.  Join in on the excitement today at www.SportsExec.net.

I  started to receive an a lot of emails from people who wanted introductions to other executives in my network. They also were asking for tips, advanced training on various sports industry topics, and wanted to find partners to help during their career and in their sports business.

These weekly email requests were becoming overwhelming, and that’s when the idea of the SEA came to me.  I realized there was a huge void in the online world for helping sports professionals receive ongoing education, connect with other top executives, and find a way to generate more opportunities.

SportsNetworker has assembled a platform, with the key sports executives involved that we are very excited about.

Make sure you read through all of the content, networking, and bonuses you will get access to right when you sign up.

Legends, Sunburst & Silver Chalice Big Players in Partnerships

by |May 3rd, 2010

Legends Hospitality Management

The name definitely encapsulates the partners’ reputations in their given leagues and by no stretch the status of their owners as well.  By the fall of 2008 the New York Yankees, Dallas Cowboys and Goldman Sachs had formed a food and retail company in Legends Hospitality Management LLC.  George Steinbrenner’s Yankees and Jerry Jones’ Cowboys will each own 34%, with the rest being owned by Goldman Sachs and CIC Partners LP.  Goldman Sachs and CIC will provide financing for the company.

The move was a change for both teams as Centerplate Inc. operated the Yanks Park for 40 years and the Cowboys had operated their concessions at Texas Stadium for the past 20 years.  Their entry into the industry was well timed.  With the Yankees unveiling their $1.3 billion coliseum and the Cowboys unveiling their $1.1 billion dollar playground in 2009, pair with the fact Legends identified a dozen professional sports venues with food service contracts expiring in 2009.  Former Pizza Hut President and managing partner at CIC Mike Rawlings was named the CEO.
