Helps Inform My Choices

I like the publication because it gives me a wide view of legal issues
facing sports facilities. They touch on venue security, liability issues,
security, and I think it’s a valuable tool for anyone in the industry.
Hearing from experts helps inform my choices and gives me knowledge I would
not have had.

Timely and Much Needed

This is a timely and in my opinion a much needed piece of information for
facility managers and operators. If you believe in the statement ‘ignore
history and you are bound to repeat it’ then visibility to these issues can
go a long way to informing and preparing your facility and organization.
