  • Local Market Analysis

    Raiders market goes well beyond Oakland/Alameda County

    Significant wealth in the broader metro area

    Strong corporate presence, but primarily to the south of Alameda County

    Significant competition from other local teams and universities, particularly with new 49ers stadium in Santa Clara and general presence of a second NFL team in the Bay Area

  • Local Market Analysis

    The Bay Areas Fortune 500 Companies

  • NFL and Stadium Conditions

    Raiders Demand and Operations: Towards the bottom of the NFL in attendance and attendance as a percent of

    stadium capacity; reduced capacity this fall will make the Coliseum the NFLs smallest facility

    Unsold premium seating, and few long-term contracts

    Low ticket prices

    Unfavorable revenue-sharing terms due to As presence (F&B, sponsorships)

    According to Forbes, third-lowest team valuation and one of the only teams that is not profitable

    O.co Coliseum: Few ticketed events aside from Raiders and As (typical for a stadium)

    Second-oldest NFL stadium without a significant renovation (since 1996s renovation); facility is generally outdated and has many physical deficiencies

    Well-located, particularly for certain events

  • Input from the Raiders The team commissioned a study that included telephone and online

    surveys, as well as other market research

    Preliminary conclusions shared with us: Little corporate support in the market

    PSL program could potentially generate approximately $100 million

    Anticipated demand could justify approximately:

    50,000 seats

    85 to 95 suites

    6,000 club seats

    400 to 600 loge seats

    Generally consistent with our preliminary conclusions

  • New Stadium Market Demand and Operations [in progress] Relatively low levels of corporate support

    Limited number of non-Raiders events (open-air and domed scenarios)

    Stadium Operations:

    Revenues total ~$60M+/- per year before sharing

    Expenses ~$15M to $20M+/- per year before sharing

    Coordination with Raiders and other consultants for final estimates of facility costs and offerings/capacities

  • New Stadium Market Demand and Operations [in progress] Stadium Costs:

    Construction and related costs (Santa Clara $1.3B, Indianapolis $720M, Atlanta $1.0B, Minnesota $975M, New York $1.6B)

    Infrastructure (TBD)

    Coliseum debt

    Potential Funding Sources: Raiders PSL

    NFL G-4 loan

    Stadium revenues

    Ancillary development

    Public funds

    Raiders/league and stadium revenues are not expected to be sufficient to cover all development costs

  • Ancillary Development [in progress]

    Analysis of three development scenarios (different from Coliseum City study):

    1. Only Raiders on site at new stadium (incl. Oracle Arena with no tenant)

    2. Raiders and Warriors on site

    3. Raiders, Warriors, and As on site

    Analysis of potential land uses, market needs, on-site demand generation, and operations of comparable developments

    Focus on RDE (retail, dining, and entertainment), hotel, residential, and office uses

    Potential supportable development in first scenario:

    40,000 60,000 SF of RDE 150 250 hotel rooms; 400 700 residential units; 35,000 70,000 SF of

    office

  • Stadium Financing Analysis [in progress]

    Cost and share of funding for current and planned NFL stadiums, and changes over time

    Common public sources used: tourist-based taxes (hotel, car rental), other taxes (sales, admissions, parking, F&B, on-site taxes), tax increment, land contribution, infrastructure, and others

  • Stadium Financing Analysis [in progress]

    Case studies of other facilities funding sources and amounts NFL: Santa Clara, Indianapolis, Kansas City, Atlanta, Minnesota

    Others in California: Petco Park (San Diego), New Sacramento Arena

    To come: Analysis of potential funding sources and amounts in Oakland and Alameda County

  • Preliminary Conclusions

    Opportunities Potential improvement of on-field product can increase demand

    Willingness of Raiders to stay in Oakland and be a partner

    Raiders partial contribution towards funding; appetite for PSL program was greater than anticipated

    Location of Coliseum site central, public transportation

    Potential opportunities for public funding

    Open-air stadium expected to be more financially viable than a domed facility

    Oracle Arena not expected to be negatively affected by either stadium scenario

  • Preliminary Conclusions

    Threats Local/regional competition from Levis Stadium

    Difficult environment for stadium funding

    Raiders limited capacity to contribute

    Lack of readily available public funding local or state

    Current lack of relatively strong corporate demand for Raiders products (i.e. premium seating and sponsorships)

    Limited ability to drive on-site development and resulting revenues

    Outstanding Coliseum debt

  • Timing for Study Completion

    New Stadium Market Demand and Operations ~late July

    Ancillary Development ~early August

    Stadium Financing Analysis ~late July/early August

    Final Report ~late August
