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.

[A June 2017 archive re-release favorite with one of the true insiders behind the initial success of the legendary original 1970s/80s Major Indoor Soccer League!] This week, Tim Hanlon buckles up for a wild ride through the tumultuous early years of the original Major Indoor Soccer League with sports PR veteran Michael Menchel, in our longest and most anecdote-filled episode yet! Menchel takes us on a head-spinning audio journey across some of the most memorable (and forgettable) franchises in professional indoor soccer history – including stops in Long Island, NY (the Arrows trade for Pete Rose!); New Jersey (scoring champ Fred Grgurev's unique approach to car maintenance!); Houston (the “Summit Soccer” borrows its name from the arena it plays in and its players from the NASL's Hurricane!); Baltimore (the marketing genius of Tim Leiweke!); and Hartford (what the hell is a “Hellion”?). Plus, Menchel: hits the road with Frank Deford; spends a year outdoors among the Caribou(s?) of Colorado; has a bad day in Rochester, NY; and “settles down” in St. Louis wondering when and where the NFL football Cardinals will move next.

With Dennis Williams of the Everett Silvertips, the guys discuss the continued success of that organization, the high-end prospects that have played for them, and the many hats that Williams wears as both the GM and head coach. Then O'Dette expresses his excitement to finally be a friend of the pod and shares the differences between coaching in the ECHL versus the WHL. He also talks about the skill on his current team and the impact that some new additions have made this season. Both interviews are great. Aside from those interviews, you'll also hear some Kraken talk, as John, Andy, and Darren discuss Seattle's recent fruitless Canadian road trip and a strange home game against the New York Islanders. John also shares some tidbits from a recent presentation made by Tod and Tim Leiweke about the state of the franchise. After the interviews, the guys shift to segments, which feature You Don't See That Every Day, Weekly One-Timers, and Three Stars. SUBSCRIBE! ENJOY! REVIEW!

Is Seattle getting an NBA team back? Tim Leiweke talked with Softy yesterday, and he says he's ready to bring the NBA back to Seattle when the time is right. The Oak View Group has done everything they said they would do so far. With the economic hit the pandemic has dealt the NBA, we might be seeing an NBA team here in a few years.... hopefully.

Wilson talks about the struggles with cover 2 defenses, plus, is he on board philosophically with Pete Carroll, and was he okay with Schotty's firing?

Just as we did last weekend, we ask eight beat reporters covering each of the eight teams playing what their team needs to do to win. Texts react to the show at 49451. Softy has a big interview with Tim Leiweke that anyone who wants the Sonics back won't want to miss. Once we all turn our mics on, we'll discuss it in cross talk.

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. From launching Leafs TV and GOL TV to being acquired by Roger and Bell in 2012, Chris walks down the memory lane and shares some of the biggest and most strategic business moves that have made MLSE an entertainment powerhouse. Other topics discussed in today’s show include the importance of being consistent in business, and developing a “one for all” organizational culture. We hope you enjoy this show!

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.
Oak View Group co-founder Tim Leiweke discusses a host of issues related to the business of sports, including how his group is transforming the old Key Arena in Seattle as it prepares to land a hockey and basketball team. He also talks about the technological evolution in sports, and how it affects the distribution of content as well as the in-arena experience. Leiweke also talks about facilities management and what drives revenue for owners of sports teams, which nowadays are only centerpieces of much more elaborate business ventures focused on sectors like real estate or media. He also touches on President Trump's tariffs and what they mean for builders of a new arena. Leiweke is a former chief executive officer of AEG, which operates Staples Center, and Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment, which owns and operates, among others, the Toronto Maple Leafs. Leiweke founded Oak View Group with music industry veteran Irving Azoff.

This week, Tim Hanlon buckles up for a wild ride through the tumultuous early years of the original Major Indoor Soccer League with sports PR veteran Michael Menchel, in our longest and most anecdote-filled episode yet! Menchel takes us on a head-spinning audio journey across some of the most memorable (and forgettable) franchises in professional indoor soccer history – including stops in Long Island, NY (the Arrows trade for Pete Rose!), New Jersey (scoring champ Fred Grgurev’s unique approach to car maintenance!), Houston (the “Summit Soccer” borrows its name from the arena it plays in and its players from the NASL’s Hurricane!), Baltimore (the marketing genius of Tim Leiweke!), and Hartford (what the hell is a “Hellion”?). Plus, Menchel: hits the road with Frank Deford; spends a year outdoors among the Caribou(s?) of Colorado; has a bad day in Rochester, NY; and “settles down” in St. Louis wondering when and where the NFL football Cardinals will move next. Thanks to Audible for sponsoring this week’s episode!
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.

Better late than never! Yeah yeah DC United's "B" team... we'll take it. Bright Dike, Darrel Russell and Alvaro Rey all looked good against a team who made them look real good, but it's about keeping this all in perspective. As in TFC are better in 2013 than 2012 and there are some performance to monitor in the final weeks of the season. Off the pitch Tim Leiweke and Tim Bezbatchenko keep talking about England and Italy DP's and that is going to be interesting to see who will want to leave a top flight European league to come play for Toronto.
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. A 0-0 draw might not have unlocked any offensive output, but defensively, against a strong attacking side, Toronto FC looked composed. It was a much needed result and if it weren't for it being such a terrible season, there might be more optimism around the result. We look at how this game went down and segue into talking about Tim Leiweke and the state of the team.
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
