City Manager ENCLOSURES:
I
Nike Sports Entertainment is requesting the opportunity to address the City Commission
on March 20, 1997 to request the Use Fee for the Orange Bowl be capped at $75,000 for
the Brazil World Tour event on April 30, 1997.
The City Code requires promoters pay a Use Fee of $10,000 or 10% of gross ticket sales,
whichever is greater. We estimate gross sales for this event to be $1.8 million which will
result in a Use Fee of $187,000.
Nike Sports Entertainment believe the Use Fee is higher than comparable facilities and
requests a cap be established. We have surveyed comparable stadiums in the country and
found that stadiums are willing to cap the Use Fee in order to attract large events such as
the Nike Brazil World Tour. The Nike Tour is expected to attract more than 50,000
participants.
We recommend the Use Fee be capped at $100,000 in order to provide Nike with
incentive to bring future events to the Orange Bowl. The total revenues to the City will
be $318,000.
