Description | In this activity, students will serve as “stadium consultants,” working to track the average costs of general admission tickets to Major League Baseball games and average annual game attendance in order to calculate a stadium’s revenue from ticket sales. Students will compare the costs and revenues for two consecutive years (the two most recent years with available data). Then, students will make predictions, based on the trends observed, for the next year’s average ticket prices, admission numbers, and admission revenue. Students will have the opportunity to share their findings with their classmates who researched different teams and stadiums, identifying trends in stadium figures. Learning Objectives (Student will be able to...): Analyze and interpret basic costs to calculate admissions revenue for Major League Baseball stadiums; Compare the costs of tickets, the number of tickets sold, and other operations data to calculate how costs and revenues change over time.
