If the NBA decides to expand, Oak View Group will be ready with state of the art arenas in Seattle and Las Vegas. However, Tim Leiweke - Chairman & CEO of OVG - breaks down why the business plan in those cities doesn't rely on the NBA.   Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle is already home to the NHL's Kraken, and the WNBA's Storm. The new development in Las Vegas is designed to be the city's first true point of destination built around live entertainment, and will be profitable through concerts, UFC fights, and other events, whether or not it lands a full-time NBA tenant.   Listen to the full episode here: https://nvgt.com/podcast?ppplayer=98f56b6dd6dca41729f186d12a4d1251&ppepisode=9e7c1d2eaa20d5a4a8ad004e6839afa8   For more insights, visit our LinkedIn page or learn more about Navigate at https://nvgt.com/.

In today’s show, we interview Chris Shewfelt, Senior Director, Global Partnerships, Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment. Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment is a professional sport and commercial real estate company based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.  With assets that include franchises in the four major sports leagues in the USA and Canada (including Toronto FC and Toronto Raptors), MLSE is one of the largest sports and entertainment companies in the world. Chris grew up in a small community on a farm, and his upbringing instilled in him an incredible drive and an “always-go” attitude. While this held him in good stead, Chris admits that he was frustrated with his inability to manage finances once he started working professionally. In the next segment of the show, Chris shares how his persistence helped him land a job at Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment.  Chris interned with MSLE for 4 months. But then 9/11 happened.  It seemed that Chris would have to give up on his dream job. But, out of the blue, he received a call from MSLE requesting help with a small 10-minute promotion. Wanting to show that he was someone who always gave his 100%, no matter what, Chris went out of his way and took up this small gig.  Impressed with his commitment, MSLE eventually hired him as an assistant in the corporate partnerships department.   One of Chris’s first projects at MLSE was selling Toronto Raptor tickets. Back then, Toronto Raptors was not particularly popular, and Chris had to resort to innovative marketing techniques to make sales.  This serves as a good segue to our next topic. Listeners will also learn how the entire MLSE team manages the pressures of working in a field that is subject to intense public scrutiny. Specifically, when the teams are not doing well on-field, how does MLSE deal with the commercial fall-out? Does it become difficult to manage disappointments and expectations when you have a rabid fan base? Chris also shares some fond memories of working under former Presidents, Richard Peddie, Tim Leiweke, and Bill Manning in today’s show.

The Canadian joined the Spanish footballing giants from Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment in the summer of 2018, having spent almost 25 years at his hometown sports organisation, latterly as Chief Commercial Officer. Appointed to lead the Real Madrid commercial team into a new era, Tim Leiweke, under whom Hopkinson had worked at MLSE, had the following words to say upon Hopkinson's move to Europe: "Seldom in your life do you run across someone as bright, vibrant, energetic and entrepreneurial as [Hopkinson]. He has a personality that doesn’t just light up a room. He can set a room on fire. “Real Madrid is as big a brand as there is in our industry. Normally you’d have a hard time finding someone who could make it better. They just did.” On the conversational agenda: - From Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment to Real Madrid - the good, the bad, the ugly, and the unexpected; - The challenges of change management at one of Europe's traditional sporting giants; - Selling partnerships with no Ronaldo and no silverware; - Partner acquisition approaches: shotgun style vs rifle shot; - Building agency capability into the Real Madrid commercial team; - Partner access and working with player agents; - The trend for 6-star in-stadium experiences and why the Bernabeu's €550 million renovation provides a huge opportunity.

Tim Leiweke is probably best known as the long-time CEO of AEG, where he spent 18 years and was hailed as a visionary leader, before leaving the sports and entertainment giant suddenly in 2013, pitching up not long afterwards in Toronto as CEO of Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment. Almost three years later, he was back in his adopted home of LA, this time starting his own venue specialist operation, Oak View Group – or OVG – which he launched alongside his partners music biz legend Irving Azoff and the Madison Square Garden company. James visited Tim in his well-appointed office in Westwood, Los Angeles, on a cloudless February or March day this year. On the conversational agenda: - OVG: What is it? Why did he leave Toronto so quickly to launch it? And is it competing with AEG? - The arena business in general: how to fill them, how to commercialise them, how to programme them, how to secure them, how to service them, and how to pick opportunities in the space; - David Beckham in Miami – and why that Major League Soccer project will happen; - a new Kevin Plank-driven arena project in Baltimore; - why Tim would never have given the go-ahead to AEG’s O2 project in London had he had real skin in the game; - secondary ticketing; and the next frontier for content in major global arenas.

It wasn't a win, but given how poor the week has been, a point against a team like New York is a small achievement.

Iconic rock band KISS opens their shows with the p.a. announcer stating 'You wanted the best, you got the best! The hottest band in the world...' We'll, if you'll allow us to riff on that, we're throwing out this today - 'You wanted the best, you got the best! The greatest guest list ever assembled to talk Kings and Devils...' How great you ask? We have not just one, but two members of the Hockey Hall of Fame - and another guy who will be inducted into the Hall on the first ballot in just a few years. We also have BOTH the long-time voice of the LA Kings and his trusty sidekick for more than 20 years. Need more? How about three members of the Kings' 1993 Stanley Cup Finals team? Plus - that's right, PLUS - we have the current captain of the LA Kings! So, without any further hype and build-up, here's the rundown for this week's show... - Dustin Brown will help us close the book on the Conference Finals vs. Phoenix. He'll give the inside scoop he hasn't shared with anybody else regarding some of the stuff that was said in the handshake line and offer his personal thoughts on the situation. - Luc Robitaille is going to give us his highs and lows from the last 19 years and he's going to identify his pick for a surprise goal in the Finals. Remember, he correctly called out Jordan Nolan before the second round. So, let's see who he has in mind this time around. - Former Kings owner Bruce McNall makes another visit to MayorsManor. We'll talk all about 1993, his relationship with Tim Leiweke, what Wayne Gretzky recently told him and get his pick for this year's Finals vs. New Jersey. - The incomparable Bob Miller will join us to share many stories and just wow us with his brilliance. Like many of our other guests today, he may just give us a prediction also. - Mike Modano, the only non-Kings oriented guest on today's show may seem like an odd inclusion. However, after we get done chatting with him you'll understand why we invited him on. And for good fun, we'll also see if he can help us determine who is the best American-born hockey player - him or Jeremy Roenick. - Let's see, 1993 Stanley Cup Finals...who was a central figure in that story? That's right, none other than Marty McSorley will be joining us to give his perspective on what happened in '93 and how he's still dealing with it today. - We're not sure if he'll be wearing a blue bandanna while calling in, but Kelly Hrudey will check in to offer his take on both the '93 Kings team and the current squad. - Jim Fox, our unofficial playoff correspondent the last few seasons, makes a return trip in today. We'll hit him up for some memories and some analysis. And of course, joining me as co-host again this week will be Dennis Bernstein of The Fourth Period magazine. He and I will debate the finer points brought up by today's guests and we'll offer some predictions on the 2012 Stanley Cup Finals set to kick off tomorrow between the LA Kings and New Jersey Devils. It's going to be more Kings vs Devils talk than you'll find anywhere else! MayorsManor proudly presents our Stanley Cup Finals preview show for your listening enjoyment... NOW AVAILABLE ON iTunes
