Grateful to have had the opportunity to join our talented and dedicated team of State Employees and Consultants at the 2024 Convention, Sports & Entertainment Facilities Conference in Las Vegas. Aside from discussing best practices on Progressive Public Private Partnerships (P3s), some of my favorite learnings came from Tennessee Titans attorney and Super Lobbyist James Weaver and P3 SME and SVP of Hunt Development Group, Rodney Moss, whose advice and lessons learned struck some interesting parallels with the New Aloha Stadium Entertainment District (NASED). Big Mahalo to Ed Finger and the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority - LVCVA for sharing their experiences with Allegiant Stadium, its planning, development, operational efficiencies, and how the facility as an entertainment venue served as a catalyst for incredible growth and economic diversification in the community. #IMUA #LVCVA #CSEF #entertainmentdistricts #projectdelivery #TIF #taxincrementfinancing #AllegiantStadium

This week, I had the opportunity to attend the Convention, Sports & Entertainment Facilities Conference in Las Vegas. Many great conversations in preparation for the panel which focused on the important aspects and challenges of #entertainmentadjacent mixed-use development. Eric Nordness, David Carlock, Tim Katt, and Kevin Rieger - big thanks for participating in the discussion and big shout out to Shannon Jones for facilitating. A couple big takeaways: 1. Forming the right P3 is critical to long-term success. Get the right people “on the bus”. 2. For these districts to thrive, it’s vital they’re successful when large events aren’t occurring, which means: well-programmed and activated, attractive and right-sized public realm, locally curated tenant mix, and a wide range of site uses. 3. Experiential friction is a major deterrent to long-term success, so planning for a range of uses and designing for flexibility is key. 4. Infrastructure to support high-production events is important and a costly add after the fact. 5. Nothing exists in a vacuum - understand operational/ownership nuances with adjacent venues, plan for connectivity to the venue and surrounding neighborhood(s), and get the community involved throughout the process to understand their needs in order to create a place that will ultimately benefit that community.
