Below are examples of questions you may ask to help guide your research:

• What was the funding procedure for the facility?
• How was the facility approved?
• What types of amenities are provided at this facility?
• How does it compare with other similar facilities?
• What makes this facility unique or innovative?
• What hurdles did the city or franchise overcome to build the facility?
• What was the cost of the facility?
• What are the major sponsorship agreements they have in place?
• What major events take place in the facility (for example, sports, concerts, and so on)?
• Identify a minimum of two facility issues that occurred since 2014 and discuss the impact of each issue on the facility, the events, and the industry as a whole. Examples include improper maintenance of a facility, facility failure, inadequate security, poor risk management, spectator riots, or overcrowding.
