The Arizona Diamondbacks have been trying to revamp Chase Field for years now. So far, that journey has left them without the proper funds to renovate the 27-year-old stadium. A new amendment to House Bill 2704 proposes a 50-50 split between Phoenix and Maricopa County to provide as much as $500 million a year from the sales taxes collected at the stadium – a change that prompted the county to oppose the bill.  This week on The Gaggle, a politics podcast by The Arizona Republic and azcentral.com, hosts Ron Hansen and Mary Jo Pitzl are joined by Bret McCormick. He's a beat writer for the Sports Business Journal covering fan experiences, ticketing and sports facilities. (1:53) Bret talks with Ron and Mary Jo about the reality of the Diamondbacks ballpark situation and how Arizona compares to other states in similar positions. (19:20) Then, Ron and Mary Jo break down the bipartisan support — and bipartisan opposition — the bill is finding in the Legislature.

Grab your magnifying glass and inspector hat and join us on this adventure as we investigate the live experience with this episode's guest, Bret McCormick, Facilities, Fan Experience, & Ticketing Beat Reporter for Sports Business Journal (SBJ). Bret, who is based in Charlotte, but travels a dozen or so times a year to various venues, tells us what it's like covering the live experience and some general trends he is seeing. We discuss two areas where he's seeing ground-shaking changes – European soccer stadiums and college sports venues. We deep dive into interesting innovations in ticketing and fan experience. Bret tells us how he approaches venue coverage by treating them as if they are alive, visiting the districts and cities that call them home, and looking at things that make them unique. We discuss some of the most interesting changes and innovations coming to the Intuit Dome, and how it's upending current trends with truly unique features and a fascinating approach to fan engagement. Whether it's sustainability, wrap-around video screens, or biometric data, we discuss the future of venues and how innovation is moving the industry forward, sometimes forcefully, and setting new bars for what fans are coming to expect from the live event experience.

With surfers from 52 countries and events in 20, the World Surf League is a truly global competition.

Tennis without spectators? It is the new reality facing the sport in 2020 as the Coronavirus Pandemic continues to wreak havoc on the health and economies of nations across the globe. Today on the Lucky Letcord Podcast, Bret McCormick joins to talk about his article on the subject, and some of the findings he has made about the feasibility of playing the tour without its fans in attendance. What we learned: It's not as simple as it sounds. There are new costs associated with keeping the on-site officials and players safe and they will impact bottom lines. Perhaps even more important is the fact that tennis' sponsorship deals are built around on-site presence, and this will also make things more difficult for tennis moving forward into a world of events without fans. McCormick thinks that deep-pocketed events will have a much easier time of moving forward without spectators and at least recouping some potential losses with television revenues and the sponsorships associated with those events. These are the factors that tour organizers must assess to the very best of their ability before taking off on this brave new course. They must also consider what type of bad press would come from a setback and the risk of losing market share in a sporting world in which other sports move forward without spectators.

We discuss the plight of the numerous ATP and WTA events that have been cancelled and wonder what the tour will look like when the dust settles. Will tournaments be forced out of business? What are some of the more vexing problems that the smaller events face? And what about other interested parties, such as television and sponsors?
