<html>It is a conundrum that confronts most large scale sporting stadia: how can an often dormant facility be utilised outside of its usual event dates to create additional cash flow?

 +
The view from Royal Randwick s grandstand.
 +
 +
&nbsp;
 +
 +
While the answer might simply be to open it as a function centre or rent it out to other sporting teams or codes, the hardest task is sometimes not in building the physical structure itself but in breaking it into an already crowded function facility marketplace.
 +
 +
&nbsp;
 +
 +
That is the situation facing the Australian Turf Club (ATC) and its iconic Royal Randwick Racecourse.
 +
 +
&nbsp;
 +
 +
Throughout 2012 the ATC undertook a major renovation at the Randwick facility, less than 10 minutes east of Sydney’s city centre.
 +
 +
&nbsp;
 +
 +
At a reported cost of $150 million the main racecourse surrounds were transformed from a layout which had existed for more than a century, a vintage-1970’s concrete grandstand for general admission punters and an auditorium to the rear of the main action which, to be fair, was a reasonable alternative for patrons to do their best at backing a winner or at least escape the cold on a wintry day.
 +
 +
&nbsp;
 +
 +
Opening the new grandstand in April 2013, the new six level structure towers over the Randwick home-straight and its “first-up,” read debut, performance coincided with the red letter day of racing’s latest champion Black Caviar delivering her farewell performance in winning her 25th consecutive race.

This is a serious facility in racecourse terms which reflects such serious investment.
 +
 +
&nbsp;
 +
 +
With the November announcement that Racing NSW and the ATC have bid to host a revamped autumn racing carnival at Randwick, called The Championships and projected to be Australia’s richest, its redevelopment will further consolidate Randwick as a globally renowned venue.
 +
 +
&nbsp;
 +
 +
But apart from the intention of providing a world class facility for racing, the capacity to derive revenue from non-race day activities is a challenging, yet,<strong>[http://fried-epstein.com/detroit-lions-jerseys.html lions jersey]</strong>, attractive option.
 +
 +
&nbsp;
 +
 +
And getting those dollars from a different type of punter is a necessity.
 +
 +
&nbsp;
 +
 +
Darren Pearce is the Chief Executive Officer of the ATC which administers racing at Royal Randwick together with Sydney’s three other metropolitan class racecourses; Rosehill Gardens, Canterbury Park and Warwick Farm.
 +
 +
&nbsp;
 +
 +
“The thinking right from design stage and carried all of the way through, was that we had to make it a multipurpose space which was interesting and accommodating on race days but also so that it could be flexible so that is could used for all myriad of non-racing events which would potentially generate new revenue streams… and it has been built for that purpose,<strong>[http://arabianincentive.com/incentives-trip.html cheap nfl women jerseys]</strong>,” Pearce says.
 +
 +
&nbsp;
 +
 +
“Racing’s traditional revenue streams (primarily from distributions from wagering activities) are under pressure and from a business perspective we need to be strong in our racing business and in other diversification opportunities.”
 +
 +
&nbsp;
 +
 +
Fox Studios, Sydney Cricket Ground and the Sydney Football Stadium are all within a two-kilometre radius of the course, not to mention the well-established hotel convention centres and rooms around the city itself.
 +
 +
&nbsp;
 +
 +
That represents some stiff competition for a newer player but Pearce believes Randwick’s competitive points of difference are tangible enough to make it a profitable investment in the future.
 +
 +
&nbsp;
 +
 +
“Being CBD fringe, a good proximity from the eastern suburbs and the airport, 5000 car parking spaces which a lot of venues don’t have, and an in house security team for potentially sensitive functions,” he lists without hesitation.
 +
 +
&nbsp;
 +
 +
“With the Sydney Convention Centre going offline for the next three years we are certainly able take on those larger scale events.”
 +
 +
&nbsp;
 +
 +
The Royal Randwick brand is revered in racing circles but etching it into the minds of other special events, conventions or even larger scale party planners is the next major focus.
 +
 +
&nbsp;
 +
 +
“We race at Randwick only forty days a year which means we have another 325 days to utilise the asset,[http://biblioteca.hogwartsrpg.com.br/index.php?title=Usu%C3%A1rio:Ziokoxmr8#Review-_Absolut_Chicago_Vodka_Doesn.E2.80.99t_Really_Taste_Like_Chi Review- Absolut Chicago Vodka Doesn’t Really Taste Like Chi]

 +
 +
&nbsp;
 +
 +
“We’ve been successful at doing it for a number of years in our more traditional grandstands and we already have a strong event capability,” he notes the annual Future Music Festival as one example which has grown from a small but passionate attendance to attracting more than 50,000 people in recent years.”
 +
 +
&nbsp;
 +
 +
The ATC’s task ahead though isn’t just to make this facility a cost effective operation but to also support the primary business of racing itself.
 +
 +
&nbsp;
 +
 +
“Racing is our reason for ‘being’ and the profits we make from other activities all goes back into supporting racing, so it is all complimentary,” Pearce notes.
 +
 +
&nbsp;
 +
 +
“We have an enormous responsibility to grow racing, to grow events and to ensure that the venue used as often as possible to benefit the State.
 +
 +
&nbsp;
 +
 +
“Racing is very much a global product now and we want to have an attractive product not only domestically but also export internationally in this digital age.”
 +
 +
&nbsp;
 +
 +
Not just in sport,[http://www.asktradex.com/news.html <strong>philadelphia eagles jerseys</strong>], a healthy level of competition exists between the racing jurisdictions in Sydney and Melbourne but Pearce is very quick to assure that the Royal Randwick Grandstand’s intention is well beyond any of those historical rivalries.
 +
 +
&nbsp;
 +
 +
“It is certainly a part of a broader plan and far more that just simply to be able to boast that we have a better facility than Melbourne does,” he says.
 +
 +
&nbsp;
 +
 +
“There has always been that competitive tension but we operate in a largely different market. At Carnival times of year you might be competing on horse quality or racing personalities or investment from sponsors in racing itself, which is healthy competition.
 +
 +
&nbsp;
 +
 +
“However we’ve built this facility because our business model needed it and New South Wales needed to boost its racing industry which contributes more than $220 million in direct State Government taxes.”
 +
 +
&nbsp;
 +
 +
While the reasonable expectation is that any revenue from the new facility will not exceed that of Randwick’s racing activities, the ATC is open minded to its potential in the longer term.
 +
 +
Either way, and from any sporting code’s perspective, the Royal Randwick Grandstand is a significant investment which may well provide the most substantial test of a modern sporting facility breaking new ground in the broader commercial world.</html>

EXCLUSIVE- Morris Chestnut & Monica Calhoun Talk Hottest

<html>In our final installment for our Opening Weekend Exclusive Interview series for Best Man Holiday,[1] [2] 4.12 , we had a little sit down with one of our fave on screen couples.

 

Check out what Morris Chestnut said about his most difficult scenes and Monica Calhoun's fave moments...

 


Hallelujer! 44-year-old Morris Chestnut is bringing his ridiculously sexy body back for us to gawk at for the Best man Holiday sequel.  We talked to arguably the sexiest star of the movie, along with is on-screen wife,cheap baseball jerseys, Monica Calhoun, about their fave moments and the hardest ones.  Getting that chiseled bod was probably hard for Morris to get,4.12 bills jersey, but was that lip-syncing performance even harder?

YBF: The Best Man Holiday is definitely going to be another classic. Tell us about the chemistry of the cast and the plot twist with your characters.

MORRIS: Oh wow, it was just like riding a bike getting back together again. We all came, we had to rehearse a couple of weeks prior to. And then a week before filming we all got together and watched the original film. That brought back memories and put us back in that mode so the chemistry was great, like riding a bike.

MONICA: I have several favorite moments! The dinner scenes when we were all sitting around the table. Those were some long nights but a lot of good laughs.

YBF: Why do you think Malcolm Lee wrote your characters as he did? Audiences are going to be surprised when they see this movie compared to the original?

MORRIS: Why do you say that?

YBF: Because it s so real! There are real moments, it s real life that is happening and the cast put it down with regards to the portrayal of these characters. How did it feel for you to come in with such a different flare this time around?

MORRIS: I think the one thing about this movie is that these characters have been around for 14 years. When you are doing the original you are creating the backstory. Now, we were able to fill in so many different layers to our characters; what s going on? Have we had the conversation? Why haven t we had the conversation? What did we do? How did we not deal with it? And myself with Harper it s just layering the characters more and more. Then our characters [Lance Mia] have some pretty great arcs and some secrets and all that stuff to deal with. It made it a lot more fun!


YBF: You listen to Mia. When she talks, Lance listens.  Is that true to life?

MORRIS: Oh YEAH, without a doubt! [Laughter]

YBF: There are a couple of funny scenes between Shelby and Candice and Lance you had to break one up.

MONICA: Faith was being tested!

MORRIS: Yeah I had to break it up, I think I caught one on the chin. I m just playing.

YBF: They didn t bring any stunt doubles?

MORRIS: They did, there was a stunt double there but they didn t really need them.

MONICA: They executed WELL!

MORRIS: They do a good job getting at it themselves!


YBF: Morris I hear you wanted to rehearse a whole month for the dance scene??

Morris: I did! Cause look,4.12 cheap Bengals jerseys usa, you have Harold coming from Alvin Alley, you have Taye doing Broadway and Terrence just don t care. I wanted to get it right and get it down!

MONICA: Going through all that, you know what, he was fine, they were fine! I mean they were sharp! Those arms, spins, hat tosses, just on cue and right!
 

That's a wrap for our interview series with the Best Man Holiday cast.  Check out all of our chit chats .

The movie is in theaters now!

Sydney Racing’s Grand

<html>It is a conundrum that confronts most large scale sporting stadia: how can an often dormant facility be utilised outside of its usual event dates to create additional cash flow?


The view from Royal Randwick s grandstand.
