AGENDA + MEETING DETAILS: Mesa City Council Study Session Thu 03.11.2021

Sometimes study sessions can get tired fast year-after-year using that old standby Power Point.

At least the presentations are made to the public ahead of time - usually 48 hours or one or two days in advance. THERE'S A LOT OF INFORMATION TO PROCESS > TRY THIS ONE ON

A Proposed Development + A Related Pre-Annexation Development Agreement

"Legacy Sports Park"

Legacy Sports Park is a planned 320-acre private family sports and entertainment complex

 

SOUNDS LIKE AN ALREADY-DONE DEAL ???

Massive multisport facility under construction in Mesa gets first general manager, new events

Legacy Sports Park, the 320-acre multivenue property under construction in Mesa, has hired the former sports business development manager at ESPN World Wide of Sports in Orlando, Florida as its general manager. Los Angeles-based Oak View Group, the company contracted to manage and operate Legacy Sports Park, announced in February that Rodney Reese was hired to serve as the first general manager of the massive property. . .

> Legacy claimed in a statement last year that the complex will create over 1,500 jobs and generate hundreds of millions of dollars in direct economic impact back to the surrounding community. The park is expected to attract over three million visitors annually.

When it opens in January 2022, Legacy Sports Park — on 320 acres at Ellsworth and Pecos, just east of Mesa Gateway Airport on the former General Motors Proving Ground — will be the largest privately owned facility of its type in the country.

Besides the Legacy Sports Park, OVG was recently selected to manage the $115 million multipurpose arena that Arizona State University is building in Tempe for the school’s hockey program, as well as other sporting competitions and events.
