9A - Testing the Hypothesis, Part 2

Who: After conducting an additional five interviews and furthering my research of this opportunity, I found a correlation and relationship between the people facing this issue and lack of sports organization in their respected city. Seeing and noticing the success of other cities as they consume an economic increase due to their sports organization, it is evident that people want to bring a sports franchise to their supportive city, but only if the price is right and it makes complete sense economically as well as socially. For example, I used the city of Las Vegas to bring in an National Football League team since the bringing in of the National Hockey League team was such a booming success on a multitude of levels. The city was an amazing location for it due to its population and economic growth that the city has. It improved their economic status, created employment, and produced entertainments for its tourists and residents. These interviews happen to show that if a state such as North Dakota wanted to bring an expansion team or establish one, the benefits would exist, but not capitalize in the way they would want them to due to the total population in people and the popularity of the idea of using money to build a stadium and finance this franchise. There are similarities and differences, but the cons would seem to outweigh the pros. On the other hand, a city such as San Antonio would be another example of a city that should get an NFL team due to the population as a whole and the advantages it would bring if such things occurred. The people that I interviewed fully understood the merit of what I was trying to get at and had agreements in opinions on the different states and cities that should get a franchise versus some that should not.

What: With what I am trying to accomplish, it is evident that it isn't something that can happen over night, probably not in two nights either. It is a long process with a long-term benefits that the city of Las Vegas would full reap. If this were to happen which is in debate, would bring in increased income and revenue for the city due to the benefits that it is tied to. Creating jobs and employment, building and bringing a city closer and establishing entertainment for years to come is something that Vegas would do and what other major cities could do if they had an organization.

Benefits:
- Creates employment
- Automatic revenue to the city
- Another reason for tourist and residents to stay in Las Vegas long-term

Why: The cause of the outsiders needs are the same for the people that are inside the boundary. Cities countlessly each year try to make a major impact and move by bringing in an NFL franchise all for the same reasons and benefits. All in all, yes each city has a different structure and different reasons behind it. Not every city may get approved, but the cities that do have the same reasonings and benefiting the city as a whole is the main one.

Inside the boundary	Outside the boundary
Who is In: Las Vegas, other major cities who don't have an NFL franchise in existence already.	Who is Not: Small cities without NFL organizations who's economy would not benefit from this move and ultimately make it a waste.
What the Need Is: To bring in NFL Organization to their respected city.	What the Need Is Not: Bringing an organization that would not help the current economic standing of that city.
Why the Need Exists: Creation of employment and jobs, revenue and income brought in by the franchise, and adds a factor for tourists and residents to stay settled in the city.	Alternative Explanations: Indifferent to the issue and because they don't feel it will be beneficial to the city in many ways.
