Sports dome data collection continues. Deadline is Oct. 26

Our survey is hopefully in the hands of potential sports dome users. You will find a copy of the survey here. If you or your team, group or association has not yet received the survey, please fill it out and return it to me as soon as possible. The survey deadline is 10/26/11.

The next step for Sports Dome Study Work Group will be to compile the results of the survey and pass the data on to a consultant. We will be hiring a consultant to address the financial feasibility of a dome. The selected consultant will be asked to determine the financial impact to design, build, operate and maintain a dome, identify market demand, study the competition and prepare a fifteen year projected budget, including revenue projections.

The Sports Dome Work Study Group will then make a recommendation to the Park Board. The Park Board will then make a recommendation to the City Council. If the City Council determines that they would like to continue the process, we will then go back to the consultant and discuss potential locations for a dome.

Coming soon: Indoor Athletic Facility Interest and Facility Use Survey

Sports Dome Study Work Group member David Deeds and I have been working together to prepare an Indoor Athletic Facility Interest and Facility Use Survey. We got some great feedback from the rest of the Work Group last Thursday (9/29) and we’re currently making our final revisions.

Next week this survey will be emailed to all current user groups of Edina field space. We also hope to survey some potential dome users from surrounding communities who don’t have domes or other large indoor athletic facilities in their communities.

The response to this survey is a critical piece that will help the Work Group to determine if there is a need, desire and potential revenue to support an indoor athletic facility in Edina.

I’ll post the survey here when it’s finished.
