Re: Super Bowl Assistance The purpose of this letter is to formalize the request to the City of Miami for assistance in the Hosting of Super Bowl XXIX. The Host Committee very much appreciates the support of the City in our efforts to set a new standard in Hosting the 1995 Super Bowl. The Host Committee, as you are aware, is the Local Private Non -Profit Organizing Committee charged with planning, developing, financing and implementing the many community activities surrounding the Super Bowl. It is a Tri-County effort including Dade County, Broward County and Palm Beach County. It encompasses a broad scope of activities ranging from transportation to media relations to special events to minority business development. The Host Committee has established 22 separate committees to implement these activities. The importance of the Super Bowl to our community is dramatic and significant. Over 750,000,000 people around the world will view the Game on television, including an estimated 140,000,000 Americans. Over 2,500 accredited members of the media, including approximately 600 international journalists, will be in South Florida. The corporate leadership of America, those persons who make decisions on conventions, meetings and business relocation, will all be in our community. The immediate economic impact on our community exceeds S 150,000.000. 94- 885 This represents a tremendous opportunity. The City of Miami, given its importance and strategic location, is the hub of many Super Bowl activities. Included among these are: o NFL Headquarters - The NFL Headquarters will be located at the Crowne Plaza/Omni/Marriott Biscayne Bay complex. This will make downtown Miami the corporate and league Hub during the Super Bowl. o NFL Media Center - The NFL Media Center will be located in the Omni Mall complex on the top floor of the "Jordan Marsh" building, This will be the home for the 2,500 accredited members of the media that will be 0 ^q in our community for an entire week. This represents an unprecedented 1 "` v opportunity for positive media exposure. c, �+ -., o Coca-Cola/Host Committee Touchdown Town at Bayfront Park - 10 The Coca-Cola Touchdown Town is one of the premier events of Super Bowl. Working with the City and the Host Committee this event will take u place in Bayfront Park. A 3 - 4 day event this will attract tens of thousands of fans to downtown Miami. u o Taste of the NFL - This event, also sponsored by Coca-Cola, is one of the foremost charitable activities of the Super Bowl. Proceeds from the event, estimated at over $200,000, will go to local and national hunger -� relief. The event will take place at the Inter Continental Hotel. o International Media Luncheon - Plans are being finalized to Host a special luncheon for the international media at the Port of Miami aboard one of our finest cruise ships. o National & International Television Orginations - Plans are underway to originate a number of national and international television broadcasts from Miami. This includes morning news shows, sportscasts, etc. o Concerts and Special Events - Every major concert venue and special event location is booked for Super Bowl. This includes the Bayfront Park Amphitheater, Orange Bowl, Miami Arena, Knight Center, Peacock Park, etc. There will be an incredible potpourri of events and activities. The Host Committee is in need of financial assistance from the City in order to undertake and maximize these opportunities. Specifically the Host Committee is requesting funding in the amount of $50,000 to help defray transportation, media and media marketing expenses. 94— 885 Finally, on a more general note, we wanted to reiterate the need for a high level of general support during Super Bowl Week. As is the tradition in other Super Bowl Cities, high levels of public sector and security presence are the norm. All of the other communities in South Florida are committed to this concept and we know we can count on the City of Miami. Once again. thank you for your support. We are committed to making the Super Bowl an outstanding event for our community. Sincerely, Charles D.
