Re: Interim NFL Lease Analysis Dear Members of the Pasadena City Council:
Barrett Sports Group, LLC (“BSG”) is pleased to present our findings to the City of Pasadena (“City”). It is our understanding that the City is currently considering a proposed amendment to the Arroyo Seco Lands Ordinance, which would allow an NFL team to use the Rose Bowl Stadium on an interim basis. Per City staff’s request, we have estimated the potential revenue that could be generated by the NFL’s temporary use of the Rose Bowl Stadium to the Rose Bowl Operating Company (“RBOC”). The full analysis is enclosed with this letter as Attachment A.
In preparing this analysis, we considered and/or reviewed several interim NFL stadium situations, including the following:
• Minnesota Vikings – TCF Bank Stadium (University of Minnesota) (Agreement Not Finalized)
• New Orleans Saints – Tiger Stadium (Louisiana State University)
• New Orleans Saints – Alamodome (San Antonio)
• San Diego Chargers – Sun Devil Stadium (Arizona State University)
• Chicago Bears – Memorial Stadium (University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign)
• Seattle Seahawks – Husky Stadium (University of Washington)
• Tennessee Titans – Vanderbilt Stadium (Vanderbilt University)
• Tennessee Titans – Memphis Liberty Bowl (Lease Not Available)
• Carolina Panthers – Clemson Memorial Stadium (Clemson University)
We have considered key financial and operating terms for the interim NFL stadium leases (as available) including, but not limited to:
• Rental Payments
Members of the Pasadena City Council November 5, 2012 Page 2
• Taxes/Surcharges
• Revenue Sharing
• Expense Responsibility
• Upfront Investment
We have considered the historical precedent established by these comparable situations as one way to estimate the potential revenue that the RBOC may realize from the temporary use of the Rose Bowl Stadium by an NFL team. Each of the previous interim NFL lease situations was unique and must be considered in the appropriate context.
The NFL interim lease/deal structure, and resulting RBOC revenue generating potential, will depend on numerous factors, including competition and interest from other regional stadium alternatives, the specific NFL team, and the NFL permanent stadium location/developer, among others. Although it is difficult to estimate with certainty the revenue-generating potential of a proposed deal given the numerous unknowns at this time, we believe RBOC could reasonably expect to generate approximately five million dollars per year from the NFL’s interim use of the Rose Bowl Stadium and depending on the various circumstances and the alternative regional stadium options at the time of negotiations, it is possible that the RBOC could generate as much as ten million dollars per year under the right conditions. In addition, the RBOC could expect that an NFL team would be responsible for game day and related expenses. Please see Attachment A for a discussion of key considerations regarding the potential revenue that may be realized by the RBOC.
At the request of City staff, we also evaluated the potential feasibility of Alternative #2 – the Reduced Attendance Alternative – set forth in the draft Environmental Impact Report (“EIR”) that examined the temporary use of the Rose Bowl Stadium by an NFL team. Alternative #2 limits the attendance at the Rose Bowl Stadium to 50,000 for NFL events. In our opinion, it is highly unlikely that an NFL team would agree to lease the Rose Bowl if attendance were limited to 50,000 per game. Since the 2009 season, the NFL average per game announced attendance has been approximately 67,300. The Rose Bowl Stadium’s capacity is currently approximately 92,500, and will be reduced to approximately 88,000 after the current renovation is complete. A stadium with an artificial maximum attendance of only 50,000 would have a significant negative impact on the ability of an NFL team to generate stadium-related revenues. In addition, limiting attendance to 50,000 in a stadium with a capacity of approximately 88,000 would negatively impact the fan experience. The league would likely also have concerns about a limit on attendance in terms of its national television arrangements and the potential impacts resulting from televising a game in a stadium that is only partially filled or, alternatively, not televising a game in the nation’s second largest television market as a result of the league’s television blackout policy. As a result, we believe a 50,000 limitation on attendance at the Rose Bowl Stadium would render the Rose Bowl option infeasible, particularly given the seating capacities at other regional stadiums.

The NFL Monday Night Football Game between the Chargers and the Miami Dolphins scheduled on October 27, 2003 was forced to relocate from Qualcomm Stadium to Sun Devil Stadium as a result of wildfires in the San Diego area. Sun Devil Stadium was one of three candidates to host the game (NFL stadiums in Oakland and San Francisco were also considered). Arizona State University (ASU) agreed to host the game with one day notice. The Arizona Cardinals (Cardinals) had hosted a game on Sunday, necessitating a quick stadium clean-up and preparation. Admission was free for the relocated game. The lease summary has been provided for illustrative purposes, but has not been relied upon in this analysis due to the circumstances surrounding the short term agreement.

The Carolina Panthers (Panthers) played their home games during the 1995 season at Clemson MemorialStadium. Located on the campus of Clemson University (Clemson), the facility was originally the secondchoice of the Panthers for their interim facility. Williams-Brice Stadium at the University of SouthernCarolina, Columbia was the team’s first choice, but the parties were not able to reach an agreement. ThePanthers had ties to Clemson and ultimately reached an agreement for the use of their stadium. The formerPresident of the Panthers, Mark Richardson, is a Clemson alumni and played on the Clemson 1981 NCAAchampionship football team. The University reportedly paid the City of Clemson (City) an additional$100,000 to offset additional expenses associated with the incremental number of people coming to the City(police, traffic, etc.).

III. PRELIMINARY FINDINGS/OBSERVATIONS Potential RBOC Revenue
Although the Rose Bowl Stadium is Currently the Only Football Stadium in the Greater Los Angeles Area with State-of-the-Art Amenities Such as Premium Seating (Part of Current Renovation Scope), There are a Number of Stadium Alternatives that Could be Considered as an Interim Site
Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum Dodger Stadium Angel Stadium of Anaheim
NFL Interim Lease/Deal Structure and Resulting RBOC Revenues will Depend on Numerous Factors
Competition/Interest from Other Regional Stadiums Alternatives NFL Team NFL Permanent Stadium Location/Developer Timing Others
Figures Presented Herein Do Not Include Potential Economic/Fiscal Impacts to City of Pasadena
Page 44
III. PRELIMINARY FINDINGS/OBSERVATIONS Potential RBOC Revenue (Continued)
Below are Highlights of Deal Structures from Selected Comparable Situations
Rent – Fixed Rent Ranged from a Low of $250,000 to a High of $305,000 Per Game
OR – Percentage Rent Ranged from a Low of 7.0% to a High of 10.0% of Gate Receipts
Revenue Sharing
– Concessions Revenue Sharing Ranged from a Low of 0% to a High of 100% – Parking Revenue Sharing Ranged from a Low of 0% to a High of 100%
Game Day Expenses
– In Most Cases, Game Day Expenses were the Responsibility of the Team – One Situation Included a Fixed Fee to Cover Game Day Expenses
Upfront Investment
– Upfront Investment Ranged from a Low of $0 to a High of $8.7 Million
Page 45
III. PRELIMINARY FINDINGS/OBSERVATIONS Potential RBOC Revenue (Continued)
Based on Comparable Interim Lease Situations, the RBOC Could Expect to Receive Revenue from Some or All of the Following Sources Rent
– Fixed Rent or Percentage Rent – Minimum Rent
Ticket Surcharge (Current Structure)
Parking Surcharge (Current Structure)
Revenue Sharing
– Concessions – Parking
Game Expense Reimbursement (Including Municipal Services)
Page 46
III. PRELIMINARY FINDINGS/OBSERVATIONS Potential RBOC Revenue (Continued)
BSG has Estimated the Potential Net Revenues to be Realized by the RBOC Based in Part on a Review of the Lease Terms from Previous Interim NFL Agreements and Other Key Considerations and Assumptions
The Selected Comparable Interim NFL Agreements (Including Minnesota) Historically Generated an Estimated $3.4 Million to $9.2 Million to the Public Sector/Stadium, with an Average of $5.8 Million (Figures Include Ticket Sales Tax Revenue (as appropriate) and Upfront Investment has been Amortized Over the Term of the Agreement for Analytical Purposes)
Applying the Lease Terms of Selected Comparable Interim NFL Agreements Based on Current Conditions would Potentially Generate an Estimated $7.0 Million to $9.7 Million to the Public Sector/Stadium, with an Average of $8.6 Million (Figures Include Ticket Sales Tax Revenue (as appropriate) and Upfront Investment has been Amortized Over the Term of the Agreement for Analytical Purposes)
It is Worth Noting that in Most Previous Interim/Temporary Situations, the NFL Team had Limited or No Stadium Alternatives
Page 47
III. PRELIMINARY FINDINGS/OBSERVATIONS Potential RBOC Revenue (Continued)
It is Difficult to Estimate with Certainty the Net Revenues to be Realized by the RBOC Given the Many Unknowns at this Time. However, Based on Historical Precedent, Market Characteristics, Stadium Competition, and Numerous Other Factors, the RBOC Could Reasonably Expect to Generate Approximately $5.0 Million Annually and, Depending Upon Leverage at the Time of Negotiations, Could Generate Up to $10.0 Million Annually
Does Not Include Potential Incremental Advertising/Sponsorship Revenue (IMG Issue)
Does Not Include Game Day Expense Reimbursement
Does Not Include Potential Upfront Investment (if any)
Page 48
III. PRELIMINARY FINDINGS/OBSERVATIONS Stadium Capacity/Attendance Restriction
EIR Project Alternative #2 (Reduced Attendance Alternative) Reduces Maximum NFL Event Attendance to 50,000
NFL Average Attendance (Announced) Since 2009 Season has Ranged from a Low of 50,000 (Oakland) to a High of 87,400 (Dallas) – Average of Approximately 67,300
Only Oakland Averaged Less than 50,000 in Average Announced Attendance (49,986) Since 2009
A Maximum Attendance of 50,000 at the Rose Bowl Stadium would Negatively Impact the Appearance/Perception from a Television Perspective and the Fan Experience Given the Overall Capacity of the Stadium of Approximately 88,000 (Post Renovation)
Given the Seating Capacity at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, it is Highly Unlikely Any NFL Team would Agree to Play at the Rose Bowl Stadium with the Attendance Restriction Proposed in Alternative #2
Given the Attendance History of the NFL and Factors Described Above, it is Highly Unlikely the NFL would Approve the Reduced Attendance Restriction Proposed in Alternative #2, Particularly Given the Alternatives in the Region
Given the Current Economics of the NFL, a Stadium Attendance Restriction of 50,000 would Likely Render the Rose Bowl Stadium Option as Economically Infeasible to an NFL Team
