    • 6. Reach agreement regarding the role of the local municipal authorities

    Few, or possibly no, arena projects can be carried out without the support of the local municipal authorities. In order to be able to produce a clear mission statement prior to the feasibility study (and thus save both time and money) it is important that all parties involved are in agreement. Examples of some aspects that need to be agreed include:

    Which infrastructural components are to be financed by the local authorities? (Electricity, access roads, parking facilities etc.)

    Do the sports teams     that will use the arena fully understand the conditions that apply? In other words, do the necessary areas and functions exist – and are they sufficient?

    Is there understanding for the fact that events that produce a weak financial return may not be able to be staged in the arena?

    Can development rights be used as a means to reduce the investment costs?

    Keep a tight control on the process, even internally. Everyone has their own particular wishes – but still they wonder how it could end up being so expensive.
