Describe the last sport game you watch

One of the main goals of this course this semester is to be able to discern what makes
for a successful event and what leads to failure. The difference between success and
failure can often mean millions of dollars in the highly competitive world of sport and
recreation.
As a precursor to discussing the above this semester, I think it will be prudent to
examine what you, as a highly coveted target market for sport event organizers, feel
makes for a good event and what makes for a bad event. This short, early semester
assignment is meant to offer you a chance to make clear what you value as important in
the operation of an effective sport or recreation event.
In a 2-3 page, double-spaced report, please discuss the following:
• What is the last sport/recreation event that you went to as a spectator?
• Fill out the rest of the “W” questions. Where did it take place? Who was competing/
participating? When did it happen? Why did you choose to go to this event?
• What was your impression of the event? Was it enjoyable? Was it not? And why do
you feel that way? Be honest! Negative reviews are often as enlightening as positive
ones.
• If you could make a few recommendations as to how the event could be better
operated, what would you tell the event’s organizers?
Finally, assign a letter grade to the overall event experience/operation in your honest
opinion.
As this is an assignment based purely on opinion, citations are not necessary. Please
remember to put your findings down in paragraph format, however.
Remember to upload a completed copy of your assignment onto Canvas in PDF or
DOC format. As is custom with QAs in this course, I will pick a handful of you to discuss
what you wrote about at the beginning of class on Friday. Those absent will receive a
deduction to their attendance/participation portion of their final grade
