Abstract:
A strong positive correlation exists between winning percentage and attendance within a given season. Understanding this correlation is important to sports marketers and sports business managers. Considering that marketers have no impact on win-loss record, this impact can be extracted before evaluating an organization’s marketing performance. Sports business managers have to consider the uncertainty of a team’s performance during an upcoming season when they attempt to accurately project revenues.
