Executive Summary
On an annual basis, athletic events in Cottage Grove stimulate an estimated $7,577,000 of direct
spending in the City by both residents and visitors of Cottage Grove.
This direct spending generates an additional $1,515,000 through business-to-business or “indirect
spending.”
Of the $7,577,000 spent due to athletic events, 46% or $3,458,000 is coming from outside the
community.
Individual tournaments generate $2,896,000 of direct spending from out of town, and another $189,000
of spending by Cottage Grove residents.
League play generates $3,930,000 of direct spending by Cottage Grove Residents, and $562,000 of
direct spending by outside visitors inside the City of Cottage Grove.
On a regional basis (within and beyond Cottage Grove’s borders), athletic events in Cottage Grove are
responsible for $14,975,000 of direct spending and $5,990,000 of indirect spending.
Background
According to a 2017 HBO report, “Youth Sports Inc.” families spent approximately $10 billion on sports
1
related travel. Different cities have taken various approaches trying to capture this market, ranging
from big spending on tournament and support facilities (local examples include Blaine and Woodbury)
to simply allowing athletic organizations to host tournaments.
Within the City of Cottage Grove, over 17,500 athletes participate in tournaments each year (based on
most recent data) and over 80% of those athletes are not Cottage Grove residents. This translates to
approximately 43,000 people coming into the community from outside every year to play and watch
sports at tournaments.
In addition to tournaments, the City of Cottage Grove hosts some particularly robust athletic
organizations. Nearly 5,000 home games are played across Cottage Grove each year, generating over
half a million instances of people playing or watching sports in the city.
Terminology
Spending
Economic impact evaluations quantify the value of whatever it is they are studying by measuring
spending. Impacts are counted as one of three types of spending: direct, indirect, and induced.

Direct Spending
Direct spending is the initial amount of money spent by the athletes and other visitors who are in town
because of the tournament.
Example: The Jones Family from Duluth comes to Cottage Grove for a two day baseball tournament.
They pay a fee for one of them to participate in the tournament. The family buys hot dogs and Gatorade
from the concession stand for lunch, purchases dinner at a restaurant, rents a hotel room, fills up at a
gas station, and buys a t-shirt from the tournament. These are all examples of direct spending.
Indirect Spending
Indirect spending is the “business-to-business” spending that occurs due to direct spending.
Example Continued: The tournament organizers hire a security company to be on hand for the
tournament. The concession stand purchased the Gatorade, hot dogs, condiments, and buns from the
grocery store. The restaurant got the food and drinks for the Jones’ dinner from a distributor. The hotel
room got tiny shampoo bottles from a vendor. The gas station purchased the gasoline from a distribution
company. The T-shirts were ordered from a clothing company and printed by a screen printer. The
spending on these goods and services is considered indirect spending.
Induced Spending
Induced spending is the spending that results due to increased personal income that stems from the
direct and indirect spending.
Example Continued: The security company gives two employees overtime work. The grocery store adds
more hours for the stockers and cashiers. The restaurant sees more demand and hires a new cook and
waiter. These people all use their additional money to buy food, housing, gas, entertainment, and other
goods, which in turn stimulates more spending from the places where they spent their money and so on.
These are examples of induced spending. This study recognizes, but does not quantify induced spending.
Leakage and Capture Rate
Leakage is a term to describe the money that could be spent in a community (demand) that is instead
spent elsewhere.
Similar to leakage, capture rate is the ability of a community to capture the demand for a good or
service. If a tournament generates demand for 30 hotel rooms and 15 of the hotel rooms rented are in
Cottage Grove, there is a 50% capture rate.
Methodology
When measuring economic impacts, there are a few approaches to determine the level of impacts. Two
more intensive approaches are econometric general equilibrium models (ex. REMI) and Input/Output
models (ex. IMPLAN & RIMS-II) that measure carefully collected inputs against inter-industry data and
projected changes to see how much an event will cause deviation from a typical equilibrium.

This study utilizes a simpler approach based on work done by Indiana University to quantify economic
2
impacts of sports tourism. By examining City data of tournaments and seasonal play. It develops
estimates of spending based on other research in order to approximate the amount spent by overnight
visitors, day visitors, and Cottage Grove residents.
Given that the study is measuring imperfect information, it is more important to recognize this as
reasonable estimates of economic impacts, rather than a highly detailed accounting of every dollar.
Use of other research
In order to develop estimates for spending, this report uses findings from other studies and sources that
evaluated tournament spending in other communities. There is a significant amount of research that has
been done on the impacts of sports related tourism, both as related to large events as well as youth
sports. This study is using the research that has been done related to youth sports and tourism. Many of
these studies have very robust data collection from which this study borrows. Where studies have been
completed in other regions and at other points, findings have been adjusted for cost of living and
inflation. In addition to other studies, the Minnesota Amateur Sports Commission has undertaken
research to better understand the spending habits of amateur sports tourists. The table below shows
the amount of spending by overnight and day trip parties. It is worth noting that youth tournaments
have been found to generate slightly more spending than adult tournaments.
The assumptions used for this study are also included. Where tournaments are adult and youth, the
adult numbers were used.

Other Points to Consider
Many economic impact studies are criticized for overly optimistic estimates. This study has attempted to
address these issues by utilizing conservative estimates, not attempting to quantify induced spending,
and discussing some of the other common issues that can challenge the validity of a study. In general,
where judgement calls were necessary or ranges were available, this study uses the most conservative
numbers available.
Local vs. non-local spending
Non-local vs local spending is important to identify. Non-local spending is money that would not have
been put into the local economy, without the tournament or game that brought them to the
community. Local spending is more complicated. Arguments can be made that without the opportunity
to play sports, those dollars would have been spent on some other activity in the community. While this
is the case to some degree, opportunities to participate in sports are abundant in neighboring
communities and it is more likely that those dollars would instead go to Woodbury, Hastings, or other
cities in the region. Because the extent of this phenomenon is debatable, this study separately identifies
local and non-local spending.
Cottage Grove vs. Regional Spending
Just as local players could opt to play elsewhere, visitors may also choose to spend their money outside
the city limits of Cottage Grove. In order to better reflect this reality, the study estimates capture rates
for both hotel spending and other spending.
Hotels
A search of hotels in Cottage Grove returns two results inside the city limits, Country Inn and Suites and
Wakota Inn and Suites. Together these hotels have 112 rooms. Based on a regional standard of 60%
3
typical occupancy that means there are typically 45 rooms available on any given night in Cottage
Grove. These rooms are typically priced between $69 and $115 per night with an average price of $100
per night. This price point suggests that rooms are competitively priced and likely to be used by teams.
This study uses a conservative estimate of 1 hotel room per party. This is likely understating the impact
of tournaments on hotel rentals as some parties will require more than 1 hotel room.
Given that there are numerous hotels available in Woodbury, Eagan, Bloomington, and other
surrounding communities within a 20 minute drive, this study estimates that Cottage Grove hotels will
capture 50% of the hotel rooms demanded until they have reached 45 rooms.
Note: While teams may be responsible for renting more than 45 rooms, data suggests that they would be
filling rooms that would otherwise be rented, and as such this study does not account for them bringing
additional spending to the community.
Leakage
Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI) performs market research on communities to
determine the leakage or surplus of spending in a community across different retail types. Based on the
3
2018 Second-Quarter National Hospitality Report – Marcus & Millichap
5
number of households, household size, and household income, ESRI estimates that there is demand for
$57,484,930 worth of spending at “food services and drinking places” but only realizes $26,855,298 of
that demand. Similarly there is projected demand for $56,780,193 worth of spending at “gasoline
4
stations” but only $31,809,019 worth of that demand is realized in Cottage Grove. This means that
given the options available in other communities, just under half of the money that could be spent at
restaurants and gas stations in Cottage Grove is being spent in those other communities.
The opinion of this survey is that spending due to athletics is higher than this number as the leakage
analysis reflects a large number of residents that commute to other communities for work, while
athletics spending is more likely to be at the facility or nearby. That said, in order to present a
conservative estimate, the study uses a 51% capture rate to reflect local leakage when calculating
spending in Cottage Grove. The provision and/or growth of local shopping and accommodations will
typically reduce leakage in a community as visitors are able to more readily purchase their goods and
services nearest the athletic event. In particular, due to limited hotel options in Cottage Grove, the City
is only capturing approximately 30% of the hotel room demand from athletic events. Teams are likely
choosing to stay in neighboring communities once the local hotel(s) is full. With just one large hotel in
the community, lodging can be filled to capacity quickly with one sports team, a local wedding or local
business event booking. And sports teams will typically stay together in order to maintain their social
circle during their travels. Thus, if there are not enough rooms for an entire team, the team will find
another lodging option even if it means traveling further for accommodations.
Spending vs. Benefit
It is also important to recognize that this study is measuring spending and not necessarily benefit. Just
because money is spent in a community does not mean the community is better off to the exact amount
of money spent.
Going back to the Jones Family example: If Mr. Jones buys a hot dog from the concession stand for 3
dollars, it does not mean the concessionaire is now 3 dollars better off. In order to get that hot dog to
Mr. Jones, the concessionaire may have to spend a dollar on the hot dog, bun, condiments, and napkin
and another seventy five cents in wages for the person working the stand. In this example the
concessionaire is really $1.25 better off, even though they sold the hot dog for three dollars. (Indirect and
induced spending suggests the supermarket that supplied the hot dogs and the person working the stand
are also better off)
Just because the community sees $7,577,000 in additional spending, it does not equate to an additional
benefit of the exact same number for the community.

Findings
Tournament Spending
Overnight Spending
Overnight visiting parties are estimated to spend $250 per night.
They are generating demand for 4,883 hotel nights, of which this study estimates 1,399 are being
fulfilled in Cottage Grove. Based on an average Cottage Grove hotel rate of $100.21 out of town. This is
generating $140,170 in hotel spending in Cottage Grove. An indirect multiplier of 1.2 suggests an
additional $28,034 of business-to-business spending.
Outside Daytime Spending
The average out of town guest party is estimated to spend $100/night on lodging and $150/day on other
spending (food, gas, drinks, entertainment, souvenirs, etc.). Guest parties on day trips are estimated to
spend the same $150/day. Of that $150, this study anticipates that 51.34% of that money will be spent
within the City of Cottage Grove. Daytime spending by out of town guests is estimated at $2,755,675. A
multiplier of 1.2 suggests an additional $551,135 of business-to-business indirect spending.
Resident Daytime Spending
Cottage Grove residents are anticipated to spend $50 per day per party related to tournaments,
generating an additional $189,239 in direct spending and $37,847 in indirect spending.
Season Spending
Spending per event during league games and seasons is greatly reduced as games are typically only an
hour or two and do not generate the same needs as an all day tournament. That being said, there are an
enormous amount of games that are played. There are an estimated 524,984 instances of someone
watching or playing in a game in Cottage Grove each year. With an estimated spending of $16.67 per
game, per person (not party) league games are generating an estimated $3,930,180 in local spending by
residents and an additional $561,933 in outsider guest spending. This has indirect effects of another
$898,423 in business-to-business spending in Cottage Grove.
Other Benefits of Athletics in a Community
In addition to the quantified benefits discussed above, there are a number of other positives to hosting
athletics in the community. Some studies have quantified these, but for the purposes of this study, they
are simply discussed as a narrative.
Induced Spending
While quantifying induced spending is a difficult and often subjective effort, it is still very real. Dollars
spent in Cottage Grove will continue to benefit local business and government through taxes long after
the initial time they are spent.
7
Additional Athletics Spending
While unquantified in this research, sports families are paying a large amount to sign up, outfit, and
train their athletes. Reporting by Time suggests the youth sports industry does about $15 billion per
5
year and has grown 55% since 2010. This includes league fees, sports camps, equipment, and facility
rentals in addition to money spent on traveling. When these dollars are spent in the community, other
local businesses do well providing these goods and services to families.
Community Perceptions and Awareness
Bringing 55,000 people into the community each year is a valuable opportunity to market Cottage Grove
6
to potential new residents. Proximity to parks is known to increase the value of homes, showing that
people place a value on parks when deciding where to live. Using parks to show off the community to
visitors (potential new residents) is a good way to build a City’s reputation and brand. The City is
competing with other communities and visitors remember the experiences they have, especially in
community facilities such as schools and parks.
Health Outcomes
Training kids to be active can set them up for healthier lifestyles as adults. Denver completed a
comprehensive study of the economic impacts of their park system on health costs and estimated that
7
park users under 65 saved an average of $351 per year and those over 65 saved $702 per year. That is
money that can be spent on other local goods and services. Although it is difficult to quantify, research
regularly identifies access to natural environments as a lifestyle benefit both mentally, physically and
socially.
Life Lessons for Citizens
Sports have many intangible benefits as well. When done well, sports can teach athletes important life
lessons. Lifelong friendships can be forged on a field or a court at the same time players learn how to
compete with everything they’ve got, win and lose with class, work as a team, and treat their opponents
with respect. Just importantly, the intrinsic value of maintaining a healthy and diverse parks and
recreation system offers residents the opportunity to lead happier and healthier lifestyles.
Conclusions
This report estimates about $3.5 million in direct spending comes into the community from outside of
Cottage Grove every year due to athletic events at public (City/School) facilities. Without facilities to
host athletic events, it is estimated that up to $4 million annually could be spent outside the community
by local Cottage Grove families traveling elsewhere to participate in sports. These numbers represent a
real and significant amount of money coming into and staying in the community. While they are

significant, this study suggests that the community’s ability to capitalize on the economic impact of
sports may be moderated by limited lodging and dining options.
The overall economic impacts from athletics in Cottage Grove are understandably not as strong as those
communities that have made sports tourism a key economic development strategy. Those communities
have invested heavily into mass facilities, complexes and infrastructure to host large-scale events that
have much larger and more steady use. However, when comparing to similar suburban bedroom
communities, Cottage Grove does well based on the strength of internal participation in athletic
programming and makes efficient use of available facilities. The Cottage Grove Ice Arena is one of the
largest in its state and is a shining example of a venue that is designed to host many large scale events
throughout each season. However, building larger and more athletic facilities is not always a direct
correlation to increased economic growth. Each community must weigh the costs and benefits of such
investments. Simply stated, capital investment does not generate economic impact without robust
event programming staff and/or volunteers. Without programming, facility owners are left with a glut
of underutilized athletic space which are a drain operating labor and expenses.
Cottage Grove has exceptionally high turnout for athletics and it is clear that participation in sports is an
important aspect in the lives of many Cottage Grove residents and families. Tournaments and games are
important community events, not only for the civic pride that comes from the competition, but also as
illustrated by the large number of volunteers who are giving their time and effort to make the
community’s investment in fields and facilities go even further. Additionally, athletics give the
community a chance to promote itself to more than 55,000 people from outside the community each
year; 55,000 people that may not otherwise have a reason to travel to Cottage Grove. The combination
of a growing sports industry, favorable demographics, quality athletic facilities and a dedicated group of
community members suggests that nurturing relationships between athletic programs, the City and local
business is an effort that should benefit the community as a whole.
