Agenda 07/08/2025 Item #11B (Tourism Impact Study for the Paradise Coast Sport Complex Expansion)7/8/2025 Item # 11.B ID# 2025-2280 Executive Summary *** This item to be heard at 10 AM. *** Recommendation to accept the Tourism Impact Study for the Sports Complex Expansion for the future phases of the Paradise Coast Sports Complex. OBJECTIVE: To approve the final report of the Sports Complex Expansion & Tourism Impact Study for Phases 3, 4, and 5 of the Paradise Coast Sports Complex (PCSC). CONSIDERATIONS: PCSC Phase 1 opened in mid-2020. The contract for Phases 1 and 2 was terminated in July 2023 as part of a Board-approved settlement agreement. Phase 2 became available for use in October 2023. On August 13, 2024, Item 10A, the Board provided direction to (1) report back on how PCSC Phase 3 could proceed, and (2) start evaluating how Phase 4 and Phase 5 could be completed and determine if an updated market and feasibility and Tourism Impact Study should be conducted. Phase 3: Before the Phase 2 contract was amended to reduce the number of fields from five to four and eliminate a portion of the parking, several key elements required for Phase 3 were already constructed. These included the sports lighting for Field 9, part of the stormwater management system (comprising piping, structures, and lakes), fire protection infrastructure (hydrants and piping), irrigation mains, and an electrical transformer. These elements were designed to support Field 9, Building 21, Building 18, and the related parking areas collectively. Phase 3 is proposed to include Field No. 9 and its associated pre-engineered metal building structure (Bldg. 21), the south parking lot, and a bathroom (Bldg. 18). Staff anticipates utilizing a conventional design-bid-build contract mechanism. The design is 100% complete; construction could start in late 2025, with an approximate construction timeline of 12 to 18 months. The estimated design and construction cost of this phase is $9-$10 million. Funding for Phase 3 is available in the Sports Complex Capital Fund (3007). Operationally, the additional field and related improvements will improve the customer experience for parking, site flow, sheltering, and access to restrooms. The field addition will also provide an offset to the FC Naples stadium use schedule. Field 9 will provide a 22% increase in hours for local programming and associated revenue of $31,680, additional field rental for at least 34 weekend events will generate $34,000, and an 11% increase in food and beverage is projected to be $200,000. Additional sponsorships, parking revenue, and hotel commissions bring the total positive revenue impact to $300,000. Phase 4: The current programming and schematic design for Phase 4 consist of 11 multipurpose fields (five fields are programmed for softball, little league, soccer/football/lacrosse, plus six fields programmed for baseball, soccer/football/lacrosse) as well as required restrooms, and other facilities. Phase 4 design and construction costs are estimated to be in the $40-$50 million range. Phase 5 involves the construction of a fieldhouse for indoor sports like volleyball, basketball, ping pong, and pickleball. The identified location is to the west of the stadium. Design and construction costs are likely to be in the $45-$70 million, depending on the project scope. The development of the Sports Complex concept originated with a Sports Facility Market and Needs Assessment completed in 2015, followed by a Feasibility and Economic Impact Study in 2017-18. Hunden Partners conducted both studies. On October 22nd, 2024, Item 11A, the Board of County Commissioners directed staff to proceed with an updated Sports Complex Expansion and Tourism Impact Studies given the substantial additional investment and the use of TDT funding. Hunden Partners provided a proposal to conduct an updated market, financial feasibility, and tourism economic impact study for the current and planned expansions of the Paradise Coast Sports Complex and other park facilities for a fee of up to $103,800. Page 1191 of 4096 7/8/2025 Item # 11.B ID# 2025-2280 On November 19, 2024, the Tourist Development Council recommended the study to be conducted by Hunden Partners at a cost not to exceed $103,800 by a vote of 5-2. On December 10, 2024 the Board of County Commissioners approved the study on the consent agenda. The study found that there is potential for growth in summer visitation and that diamond sports offer the greatest economic impact by filling hotels with frequent summer events during the slowest season. There is a strong future potential in indoor sports tourism, but it coincides with Naples’ peak visitation season. Collier County hotel performance will improve with a steady summer influx of regional and long-distance visitors driven by more diamond sports events at the Paradise Coast Sports Complex. On June 17, 2025 the Tourist Development Council approved the recommendation to accept the study by a vote of 8-0. This fits into the 2025 Collier County Strategic Plan in the Quality of Place and Infrastructure of Asset Management focus areas. FISCAL IMPACT: Acceptance of the Tourism Impact Study for the Sports Complex Expansion does not result in any additional fiscal impact at this time. A proposed plan of finance will be developed based on the Board's direction regarding future phases of the Paradise Coast Sports Complex. Potential funding sources may include debt instruments, Tourist Development Tax revenue, Parks Impact Fees, Infrastructure Surtax proceeds, and other available revenue sources. GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no impact to the Growth Management Plan related to this action. LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved as to form and legality and requires majority vote for approval. – CMG RECOMMENDATIONS: To accept the Tourism Impact Study for the Sports Complex Expansion for the future phases of the Paradise Coast Sports Complex conducted by Hunden Partners.

Page 1204 of 4096 | hunden.com | ©2025 Hunden 13 Local Sports Implications Lee County’s spring training facilities drive robust visitation Lee Health Sports Complex and JetBlue Park, respective homes of the Minnesota Twins and Boston Red Sox, each attracted more than 400,000 visits in 2024. Their abundance of high-quality diamonds allows the complexes to host tournaments when not utilized by the MLB teams. Collier County has no other tournament-capable complexes Only nine percent of North Collier Regional Park’s visits were from more than 100 miles away in 2024. The park’s facilities and baseball fields are not equipped to solely host national-level tournaments but better suited as community assets. Opportunity exists for a tournament-focused baseball complex The MLB tenancy of Lee Health Sports Complex and JetBlue Park in Lee County prevent each complex from frequently hosting major tournaments, creating an opportunity for a new facility to meet the strong demand for baseball and softball.

This underscores the strong draw of tournament programming in attracting long-distance travelers. Facilities on the regional list with higher field counts tend to attract more visitors from more than 100 miles away, surpassing PCSC only at 28 percent of long-distance visitation. Expanding field capacity presents a significant opportunity to draw more long-distance travelers to Collier County, who otherwise would not travel to PCSC. Publix Sports Park and Boombah Sports Complex are the only regional large turf multipurpose field complexes, each featuring nine full-sized fields.

Key takeaways from these conversations are summarized below: §Paradise Coast Sports Complex is one of the best youth sports facilities in the nation. §There is significant demand for tournament facilities with 8 or more baseball diamonds. §Additional fields would allow tournaments to increase the number of teams participating and provide space for warm-ups. §There is a lack of hotel rooms available in the winter months for tournaments. §An indoor facility would be successful in attracting basketball and volleyball tournaments. It would also be helpful to provide storage, offices, space for tournament registration, and space for rain delays. §Expanded shade around the park is needed. §A grass field would allow a Premier League or national soccer team to practice or train at PCSC.

Key takeaways from these conversations are summarized below: §Visiting teams struggle to secure hotel blocks during winter months. This challenge included December 2024, when local occupancy was approximately 99% at preferred hotels. §Hotel properties near baseball complexes in Fort Myers perform strongly during the summer months. §Teams prefer select service hotels for the included breakfast and relative affordability. Managers of local select service hotels have hoped for year-round sports tourism from the complex. §PCSC brings tremendous business to the Great Wolf Lodge, in the form of both hotel rooms and day passes for the water park. §The Great Wolf Lodge, the closest hotel to the complex, stated: §“In March (2025), the resort’s occupancy topped 90 percent, and even in the summer, outside of Southwest Florida’s busy season, it’s expected to exceed 85 percent.” Page 1220 of 4096 | hunden.com | ©2025 Hunden 29 RevPAR Seasonality The stark seasonality of the relevant hotel set is exhibited by the adjacent Revenue Per Available Room (RevPAR) chart from March 2017 through January 2025. Sports tournaments that attract visitors in the summer months, such as baseball and softball, will raise the hotel market’s seasonal valleys, generating significant hotel room tax revenue. Basketball and volleyball tournaments are occasionally also held during summer months but at a far lower frequency. $- $20.00 $40.00 $60.00 $80.00 $100.00 $120.00 $140.00 $160.00 $180.00 $200.00 Mar 17Jun 17Sep 17Dec 17Mar 18Jun 18Sep 18Dec 18Mar 19Jun 19Sep 19Dec 19Mar 20Jun 20Sep 20Dec 20Mar 21Jun 21Sep 21Dec 21Mar 22Jun 22Sep 22Dec 22Mar 23Jun 23Sep 23Dec 23Mar 24Jun 24Sep 24Dec 24Revenue Per Available Room (March 2017 -January 2025) Source: STR Source: Smith Travel Research, Hunden Partners Page 1221 of 4096 | hunden.com | ©2025 Hunden 30 Hunden Recommendations Asset Hunden Recommendations Outdoor Field Expansion §Eleven dedicated diamonds §Softball: 5 diamonds §Baseball: 6 diamonds Additional Facility Amenities §Enhanced food & beverage option on the east side of the Complex, adjacent to the expanded fields §Dedicated parking on east side of Complex Future Phase (3–5 Years) §Indoor fieldhouse §6 basketball courts/12 volleyball courts §Medical offices & meeting space §Gathering place/lightning shelter §Hurricane shelter Page 1222 of 4096 | hunden.com | ©2025 Hunden 31 Preliminary Recommended Site Layout Hunden Recommendations §Eleven dedicated diamonds §Softball: 5 diamonds §Baseball: 6 diamonds Page 1223 of 4096 | hunden.com | ©2025 Hunden 32 Scenarios Overview 1 2 4 3 The current Complex, pre-expansion (Baseline) The Complex once expanded with recommended/proposed outdoor elements The Complex once expanded with recommended/proposed indoor elements The Complex once expanded with BOTH recommended/proposed outdoor and indoor elements Demand, financial, and economic impact models were developed for each of the following scenarios to provide insight into the financial ramifications of whether, and to what extent, PCSC is expanded.

Baseball and softball fields generate room nights in Collier County’s down season, supporting local hotels. Meanwhile, an indoor complex would further stress hotels during the peak winter season, causing some leaked hotel rooms to nearby counties, and thus producing fewer TDC dollars. - 2,000 4,000 6,000 8,000 10,000 12,000 14,000 16,000 18,000 20,000 JAN FEB MAR APRIL MAY JUNE JULY AUG SEP OCT NOV DEC ANNUAL ROOM NIGHT GENERATION (2031) BASELINE OUTDOOR EXPANSION INDOOR EXPANSION OUT/INDOOR EXPANSION Mov.

Recent assessments of the site’s potential have proposed a plan accommodating a total of 11 baseball fields — five designed for Little League and six of regulation size.

Page 1247 of 4096 03 Local Sports Facility Supply & Demand Analysis Page 1248 of 4096 | hunden.com | ©2025 Hunden 57 Local Sports Supply The local supply of sports facilities includes four community parks and two regional parks in Collier County, along with four baseball-focused complexes in Fort Myers. Key takeaways include: §North Collier Regional Park recorded the highest visitation among all facilities, with 739,300 visits in 2024. Notably, 91 percent of these visits came from within 100 miles, demonstrating its role as a community asset. §Fort Myers’ MLB spring training venues, JetBlue Park and Lee Health Sports Complex, each attracted more than 400,000 visits, with at least 40 percent coming from over 100 miles away. Their abundance of high-quality diamonds enables them to host regional baseball tournaments. §Paradise Coast Sports Complex draws significantly more long-distance visitors than any other facility in Collier County. However, it still trails the baseball-centric complexes in Lee County, in part because it lacks the ability to host baseball or softball tournaments.

The complex is primarily used for AAU tournaments and college showcases. However, many prominent professional sporting events have taken place at ESPN including the 2020 NBA Bubble, MLS is Back Tournament, and Pro Bowl Skills Showdown. The complex was the spring training facility for the Atlanta Braves from 1997 to 2019. In addition, the complex hosted the 2022 Special USA Olympic Games. Given the caliber of tournaments and events, this facility is not competitive with the local supply due to a multitude of factors such as its pricing structure and accommodations. Page 1276 of 4096 | hunden.com | ©2025 Hunden 85 Interview: ESPN Wide World of Sports Hunden interviewed management at Disney’s ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex to understand the operations and tournament schedule for the facility to understand the current landscape in the greater Orlando market. The following are key takeaways from our interview: §ESPN Wide World of Sports indoor sports facilities feature three fieldhouses with the recently constructed 7,000- seat Advent Arena that cost approximately $30 million to build. §ESPN Wide World of Sports tournament supply mainly consists of one AAU tournament per year and college showcases. Tournaments are based on room nights and have to meet specific criteria set by Disney. The incremental value has gone down significantly because of the requirements set in place. §Management receives a lot of inquiries to utilize the facilities (on average minimally 2–3 calls per month), however, they have to turn away a lot of business when there is no direct value (room nights, etc.). §When ESPN turns away business, they look at local facilities to fulfill the needs and refer business. During conversations about a potential new indoor tournament facility in Seminole County, management did not see this as direct competition given the caliber at which Disney operates and was interested in working together on a referral basis to help facilitate tournament needs that they cannot accommodate. Page 1277 of 4096 | hunden.com | ©2025 Hunden 86 Key Takeaways §As a premier destination-based facility, the ESPN Wide World of Sports attracts approximately 85% of its visitors from more than 100 miles away, driven by the demand surrounding the sports complex. §The facility experiences peak attendance during the early spring months, particularly from March through June, before seeing a decline in the summer and early fall, largely due to its indoor setting.

Adding diamonds to a facility like PCSC presents a strong opportunity to diversify its sports tourism offerings and generate a greater incremental economic impact than if the facility remained unchanged. PCSC Is a Premier Soccer Facility in the State, But has Limited Fields While PCSC stands out as a well-kept, tournament-grade facility among regional soccer venues across Florida, its limited number of fields is a challenge. Currently, tournaments in Collier County must be divided across multiple locations, underestimating the need for additional soccer fields to support growth and ease event operations. Indoor Facilities Are Growing across Florida Across Central Florida, where the majority of the state’s existing indoor facilities are concentrated, there is a growing wave of proposed and under-construction basketball and volleyball tournament-grade venues, creating an oversupply in the statewide market.

The adjacent table shows a breakdown of the $52.2 billion that Americans spent in 2023. The majority of spending within sports tourism occurred in transportation spending and lodging spending. This data shows the importance of having proximate lodging, retail/restaurant, and entertainment options to increase spending and impacts in a region or local municipality.

An ”anchor” facility is defined as a major destination that attracts and hosts tournaments and events on a regular basis without the need for satellite facilities. A “tournament friendly” facility is defined as a destination that will host fewer regular events and most of the time will partner with other existing facilities to create additional tournament asset inventory. These are generalized inventory thresholds on a national level and will vary depending on the competitive landscape in each location and region. That said, the thresholds for facility asset inventory provide a general order of magnitude for facilities needed to host sports tourism activity. Page 1292 of 4096 | hunden.com | ©2025 Hunden 101 Key Data: Sports Tourism Facility Insights KEY INSIGHTS: §The best-in-class regional and national sports tourism facilities focus on creating premier assets for a variety of sports through flexible spaces such as indoor courts/events, outdoor turf fields, and outdoor flex fields. By focusing on flexibility, facilities and destinations are able to diversify their customer base and potential visitors, better accommodate changing trends, and mitigate seasonality. §In the region surrounding Collier County, The Sports Facilities Advisory (SFA) recommends a minimum of the following number of assets to compete for sports tourism events: §Indoor courts: 8–10 basketball/16–20 volleyball §Outdoor multipurpose fields: 12–16 fields §Outdoor baseball/softball fields: 12–16 fields §If outdoor multipurpose or baseball/softball fields are considered, SFA recommends exploring the development of flexible fields that can accommodate a variety of activities as well as age groups over the same surface similar to the fields outlined in the Publix Sports Park and Boombah Sports examples within the regional supply list. §If indoor court/event assets are considered, SFA recommends including features to accommodate non-sports activities such as conferences, trade shows, meetings, etc., through the court/event space as well as support spaces such as break-out/flexible meeting space, seating, catering food & beverage capability, and other guest amenities. Page 1293 of 4096 | hunden.com | ©2025 Hunden 102 Sports Tourism Trends •Cities are shifting major sports facilities to independent entities (e.g., boards or commissions) to improve sustainability and oversight. •As these venues have expanded in size and produce further economic impacts, many are turning to private operators to take on a more full-breadth management of the entire facility. •Private management offers greater accountability, staffing flexibility, and a focus on clear performance metrics (e.g., revenue, room nights, customer experience). •There’s a growing focus on making operations more efficient and organized. Communities are recognizing that sports venues operate in a competitive landscape, and success requires close coordination between sales teams, facilities, and hotels. •Effective governance relies on well-structured boards with industry expertise and stable funding models. Page 1294 of 4096 | hunden.com | ©2025 Hunden 103 Sports Group Interviews & Implications Hunden interviewed local and national sports groups that currently or could potentially utilize space within Paradise Coast Sports Complex, to assess facility strengths and needs, programming opportunities, and industry trends. Key takeaways from these conversations are summarized below: §Paradise Coast Sports Complex is one of the best youth sports facilities in the nation. §There is significant demand for tournament facilities with 8 or more baseball diamonds. §Additional fields would allow tournaments to increase the number of teams participating and provide space for warm-ups. §There is a lack of hotel rooms available in the winter months for tournaments. §An indoor facility would be successful in attracting basketball and volleyball tournaments. It would also be helpful to provide storage, offices, space for tournament registration, and space for rain delays. §Expanded shade around the park is needed. §A grass field would allow a Premier League or national soccer team to practice or train at PCSC. Page 1295 of 4096 | hunden.com | ©2025 Hunden 104 Hotel Seasonality Is a Major Key to Sports Tourism Success Youth sports tourism is highest with transportation and lodging, highlighting the continual need for nearby and available hotels. Limited winter lodging capacity and affordability restrict tournament growth. Tournament Opportunity Implications Field Count Expansion at PCSC Is Required to Become an Anchor Recommendations for 12 diamonds and 16 multipurpose fields highlight the need for large, versatile facilities to host events at a single, anchored venue, which in turn boosts competitiveness in the sports tourism market. Effective Sports Tourism Requires Coordination Youth sports tourism is highest with transportation and lodging, highlighting the continual need for nearby and available hotels. Limited winter lodging capacity and affordability restrict tournament growth.

The interview indicated the following: §Elizabethtown Sports Park is operated by Sports Facilitates Companies, which is in charge of organizing the event schedule at the facility. The facility is equally popular in its use for diamonds and its fields, but diamonds drive more impact and revenue. In the future, they would prioritize more investment in its diamonds before their fields. §During the weekdays, the facility accommodates local user groups for practices and leagues to ensure the facility is being utilized and generating revenues, but on the weekends, it is mainly reserved for tournaments. They host tournaments nearly every weekend between April and October, but with more turf surfaces they would have longer seasonality. §Tournaments on the facility’s fields are typically around 130 teams. §Elizabethtown typically hosts 12 soccer tournaments, and five flag football and 7v7 tournaments per year. Soccer tournaments that are hosted for state organizations within Kentucky tend to draw low volumes of out-of-state visitation, but when third-party operators run tournaments, out-of-state visitation accounts for nearly 70 percent of teams. §The park recently partnered with Ripken Baseball, a national tournament operator for baseball and softball. The partnership will allow Ripken Baseball to assume control of planning tournaments within the facility, attracting regional and national baseball and softball tournaments to Elizabethtown. §Hotel and restaurant development has increased in Elizabethtown since the opening of the facility; however, the city continues to lose room nights and spending to cities and counties closer to Louisville.

Consisting of 1,305 rooms and only 13 years old on average, these hotels are well-positioned to support activity at Paradise Coast. In early 2025, the Comfort Inn unexpectedly closed, but due to its significant usage by sports teams, its performance is indicative of the PCSC’s hotel supply and the demand for additional hotel development.

The newest opening, Great Wolf Lodge, typically targets long-distance tourists unrelated to the sports complex, but has seen significant usage by sports groups due to its proximity and family-friendly activities. Home2 Suites, Hampton Inn, and Staybridge Suites are each five or more miles away, but attractive for sports teams due to their relative affordability, newness, and manageable commutes to the complex. Page 1329 of 4096 | hunden.com | ©2025 Hunden 138 Relevant Hotel Set Performance Hunden pulled data from Smith Travel Research to understand the performance of the relevant hotel set from 2018 through January 2025. The set grew in 2019, 2020, and 2024 with the openings of the Staybridge Suites, Home2 Suites, Hampton Inn, and Great Wolf Lodge. RevPAR experienced a steady CAGR of 5.2 percent from 2018 to 2024. Occupancy dipped in 2024, likely due in part to the openings of the Hampton Inn and Great Wolf Lodge, which make up approximately 48 percent of the relevant set’s hotel rooms.

ADR from May through September is remarkably lower than the busy season ADR from November through March. With hotel rates at essentially half the rate of the busy season, hotels struggle for months. Despite the low rates, occupancy during the summer months is consistently below 60 percent, even as low as 38 percent in September 2024. Meanwhile, occupancy at peak months is as high as 77.3 percent, which demonstrates the necessity to support hotels throughout the down season instead of putting stress on occupancy during the already packed winter months.

Key takeaways from these conversations are summarized below: §Visiting teams struggle to secure hotel blocks during winter months. This challenge included December 2024, when local occupancy was approximately 99% at preferred hotels. §Hotel properties near baseball complexes in Fort Myers perform strongly during the summer months. §Teams prefer select service hotels for the included breakfast and relative affordability. Managers of local select service hotels have hoped for year-round sports tourism from the complex. §PCSC brings tremendous business to the Great Wolf Lodge, in the form of both hotel rooms and day passes for the water park. §The Great Wolf Lodge, the closest hotel to the complex, stated: §“In March (2025), the resort’s occupancy topped 90 percent, and even in the summer, outside of Southwest Florida’s busy season, it’s expected to exceed 85 percent.” Page 1334 of 4096 | hunden.com | ©2025 Hunden 143 Implications Immense Hotel Supply Supports Large Sports Tournaments Collier County’s immense hotel supply, particularly Upper Midscale options near Paradise Coast Sports Complex, support the attraction of large sports tournaments to the area.

Baseball and softball fields generate room nights in Collier County’s down season, supporting local hotels. Meanwhile, an indoor complex would further stress hotels during the peak winter season, causing some leaked hotel rooms to nearby counties, and thus producing fewer TDC dollars. - 2,000 4,000 6,000 8,000 10,000 12,000 14,000 16,000 18,000 20,000 JAN FEB MAR APRIL MAY JUNE JULY AUG SEP OCT NOV DEC ANNUAL ROOM NIGHT GENERATION (2031) BASELINE OUTDOOR EXPANSION INDOOR EXPANSION OUT/INDOOR EXPANSION Mov.
