Impact Statement
Purpose of proposed legislation and background information
This is an annual report on Sport Oregon’s efforts to bring sports events to the City of Portland during Fiscal Year 2022-2023. This annual report to Council is required under the terms of the City’s contract (Agreement No. 30005536) with Sport Oregon to provide sports marketing and event recruiting services to bring amateur and professional sports events to the Portland region and specifically to the City-owned spectator facilities including Veterans Memorial Coliseum and Providence Park.
Financial and budgetary impacts
This is an annual report on activities related to an existing City contract with Sport Oregon. There is no financial impact associated with this report. The marketing and recruitment activities of Sport Oregon directly benefit the City financially by bringing sports events to Portland and Portland’s spectator venues. These financial benefits include increased user fee revenue at the City-owned venues and increased transient lodging tax revenues associated with travel and overnight stays for events at all regional sports facilities.
Community impacts and community involvement
The events brought to Portland by Sport Oregon impact many businesses and help support jobs through increased tourism dollars and increased visibility. There are limited community impacts specifically stemming from this agreement, and none specifically associated with this annual report.
