This assignment requires each student to pick a sport event that is similar to the event that they are proposing for the final project. I want you to research the design, development, and operation of the event that you have selected. Prepare a report on the sport event that you have benchmarked. All facility managers look to other events when developing and management plans for their events. This process is called benchmarking. There are two goals for this assignment: (1) providing students with experience in benchmarking; (2) giving students an opportunity to benchmark for events that they are developing. This will, in turn, assist them in their project and presentation.
