Round Rock was selected from a host of remarkable United States cities. These championships are held once a year and is the NIRSA Championship Series leading event for collegiate sport club and intramural athletes. We know that all our attendees will enjoy your amazing city and state. We are excited about working with you, the CVB and the Multipurpose Complex and know that this will be a very successful event for all concerned. Sincerely, Valerie McCutchan Director of National Sport Programs NIRSA. Leaders in Collegiate Recreation The 2022 NIRSA National Flag Football Championships Economic Impact Study Prepared by the City of Round Rock :KTEXAS The Event The 2022 NIRSA National Flag Football Championships will be held January 8-9, 2022, at the Round Rock Multipurpose Complex in Round Rock, Texas. The tournament will find a National Championship for the 2022 flag football season. The NIRSA Championship series gives college recreational sports participants an opportunity to compete, coordinate, officiate, and connect with skilled peers from other schools and take all the benefits of recreational competition to a higher level. The rich environment of inclusive competition, sportsmanship, and professional development —from participants to fans to volunteers —supports communities of health and wellness, which is what NIRSA is all about. The City of Round Rock won the bid to host the 2022 NIRSA National Flag Football Championships after a highly competitive bid process with other cities across the country. This will be the second time Round Rock will host this event. Figures f 3 2. Round Rock Mulf1purpose Complex Assumptions Assumed Total Number of Attendees The 2022 NIRSA National Flag Football Championships is projected to bring In a total of 400 attendees; which includes participants, out-of-state, and out -of -area Texans over a course of 2 days. Attendee projections were based on the 2022 NIRSA National Flag Football Championships application, supplied by Round Rock's Conventions and Visitors Bureau (CVB). The breakdown of out -of -slate, and out -of -area Texan attendees was provided to Round Rock's CVB by NIRSA National Flag Football and used to project the percentage and total number of attendees for the event. Attendees Out -of -State % of Total NumberNumber ParticipantsEvent of 63% p. 250 Otkof--Area Texans 25% 100 Local Area People 13% 50 Total 100% 400 Other Assumptions In this study, local area spectators are not assumed to generate any new economic activity related to attending the event. These residents would likely shop in local stores and eat in local restaurants independent of the draw of the event. For this reason, they are not shown as generating any economic impact in the tables below. It is also assumed that all out-of-town and out -of -area Texan attendees will stay in Round Rock for 2 days and 3 nights of the event, even though the only participants competing on the last day of the competition will be those who have advanced to the final rounds in each respective event. Event Expenditures Projections Projected Car Rental Expenditures The estimated number of out-of-state attendees is 250. Since car rentals would likety be shared by members of the same group, this number of out-of-state attendees is divided by the CVB's standard guests per participant multiplier of 2.5 to estimate 100 households. Some out-of-state attendees may drive their own vehicle or use various ride sharing options. This study estimates that 75% of households will rent a car for this event. Rental rates for a standard size car for January 8-9 have been averaged for eight rental car companies located at the Austin -Bergstrom International Airport. This average is $97.00 per day. Projected Hotel/Motels Expenditures The average nightly hotel rate of $103.05 was obtained from a Source Strategies publication purchased by the City of Round Rock and has been used to estimate hotel spending for the event. This study assumes a conservative estimate of two people per room. The total number of room nights is calculated by taking the number of attendees and multiplying it by the number of nights they are staying ovemight in a hotel, then dividing by four people per room. Note: Room nights are divided by average people per room Projected Food/Dining and Alcoholic Drinks with Meals Expenditures To project the economic impact associated with dining, buying alcoholic drinks with meats, and shopping an average spending amount of $70 per attendee was used. This estimate from the Round Rock CVB is a conservative projection based on surveys of prior local events. The $70 was divided between dining, drinking, and shopping based on the following methodology. The federal General Services Administration per diem rate for food while traveling for the Austin -Round Rock metropolitan area is $59 per day. This study estimates spending on alcoholic drinks with meals to be $4 per day. This amount is lower than many other events but because this event Is for college students, most of them will not be of legal age to purchase alcoholic drinks in restaurants. Projected Other Shopping Expenditures Round Rock has a variety of shopping centers in the vicinity of the Round Rock Multipurpose Complex and the event hotels. Based on the spending estimate per person of $70 per day from above, after dining and alcoholic drinks with meals, it is estimated that the average spending on other shopping is $7 per day per person. Projected Eligible Taxes from Direct Expenditures The table below displays the projected direct expenditures and eligible sales taxes generated from the 2022 NIRSA Flag Football Championships between January 8-9. The total projected direct expenditures resulting from the event Is $117,651.25 The estimated sales tax generation is $7,896.68 in eligible state taxes and $5,849.11 in eligible local taxes.
