SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATIONS

Approve Stadium License Agreement with Tampa Sports Authority for the Blake vs. Middleton High School Football Game, Saturday, September 29, 2007 - $40,000 (Athletics Department)

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

We are requesting approval of the Stadium License Agreement with the Tampa Sports Authority for usage of Raymond James Stadium for the Blake vs. Middleton High School football game on Saturday, September 29, 2007, at 7:30 p.m. Ticket sales for this event will cover the facilities rental fee of $40,000.

Blake and Middleton High Schools have a longstanding football rivalry. District football stadiums cannot accommodate the extremely large crowds for this game. Utilization of Raymond James Stadium will allow this tradition to continue for football supporters of Blake and Middleton High Schools. The Stadium License Agreement has been reviewed by the School Board Attorney.

ANNUAL DISTRICT GOAL(S) AND CRITICAL SUCCESS FACTOR(S)

FINANCIAL IMPACT (Budgeted: No)

The Stadium License Agreement is $40,000 and revenue from ticket sales will offset expenditures for rental of the stadium.
