Office Chair QBs: Courtesy The Greater Baton Rouge Business Report BATON ROUGE, LA (August 3, 2004) – Alan Risher is used to people coming at him fast and furious. As a quarterback he felt the wrath of blitzing linebackers, first as an LSU Tiger and later as a professional in the USFL, then in the NFL. But now his work is off the field as vice president of The Team Sales Co., and sometimes the people in a big rush are star-struck wealthy investors interested in buying a professional sports team. Risher's job in large measure is to convince them to slow down. "Our motto is, 'Slow and steady," Risher says. "Team ownership can turn out to be a money pit, so we tell people don't jump out there and claim to be an expert." The two-year-old Baton Rouge firm is slowly, steadily building a name as a broker of professional sports teams. Risher and his business partner, Dave Whinham, help investors buy and sell sports teams and offer consulting services. The company has worked mostly on modest deals so far, notching some early successes, including helping an investor group move and turn around an Arena Football League franchise. They've also worked with investors considering buying teams in the NHL. Team Sales hopes to become a major player in a highly specialized and lucrative field. The company wants a storefront presence in a major market like New York City and to be brokering deals in the top leagues. Risher estimates 700 professional sports teams are operating today, and at any given time 25% are for sale- with 5% of those desperately seeking a buyer. Team Sales has put together an advisory board of stars and experts, including NHL team presidents Ron Campbell of the Tampa Bay Lightning and the Dallas Stars' Jim Lites, Shaw Group mergers and acquisitions attorney Brad Axelrod and NFL legend Kenny "The Snake" Stabler. Even with a mighty cadre of experts at hand, the sports ownership world is rife with failure, says Mark Eschenfelder, an economics professor at Robert Morris University in Pennsylvania. Eschenfelder specializes in professional sports. "The problem with owning is that owners sort of check their brains at the door because they're so excited. It's as though they leave behind what got them their money to begin with," Eschenfelder says. That often leads to failure. "There are certainly cases where folks have bought successful franchises and bad things have happened," he says. "Years ago CBS bought the Yankees, and they managed to reduce the value. And certainly with these minor leagues you can mess things up quickly, alienate fans." Risher brings plenty of football experience into play. He quarterbacked for LSU in the early 1980s, then spent five years in the pros with the USFL's Arizona Wranglers and the NFL's Green Bay Packers. Later he became head coach and general manager of the Baton Rouge Blaze, an expansion team in the lower tier of Arena Football. The team folded after one season, and Risher went on to coach and manage the Mobile Wizards in Alabama. Risher also spent 12 years in sales and management for a scientific lab supply company. Although Team Sales has handled deals in a variety of sports, it has worked most of its deals in the Arena Football League. While the firm gets paid on a commission basis by any investor pondering a team purchase, sometimes deals fall apart before closing when it becomes clear the investor didn't have deep enough pockets to play in the big leagues. "You can't fake funding," Risher says. Despite Baton Rouge's 0-4 record with professional teams in recent years- the Blaze and the Bayou Beast in football, the Kingfish in hockey, the Bombers in indoor soccer- Risher thinks one could succeed here. The owners would need to cobble together strategic partners, he says. As for the fate of the Blaze, Risher notes that Baton Rouge is a mature football market with devout LSU and Southern fans. "There's an awful lot of allegiance to those institutions." The Blaze could have worked, Risher believes, had owners done more to appeal to those fan bases. They should have teamed up with a venue, such as an arena, to share revenue and spread the risk. That's one of the tactics Team Sales used in Columbus, Ohio. The company helped an investor buy the struggling Buffalo Destroyers franchise in New York state and move it to Columbus. When they brokered the sale, the Buffalo franchise was among the poorest teams financially. In Columbus, they averaged more than 16,000 fans per game, the Buffalo News reported last year. They have done it by building partnerships with formidable athletic forces already in Columbus, Risher says. Ohio State plays football there, attracting 100,000 or more for home games. Nationwide Arena is also in Columbus, home of the Blue Jackets hockey team. Team Sales worked with those partners to build a base of sponsors, then built ticket sales. Instead of competing for disposable entertainment dollars with those other organizations, Team Sales helped the Columbus Destroyers' new owners work out cooperative agreements with the hockey team and the arena itself. The Destroyers, which plays its games in the off-seasons of both the NHL and college football, shares its revenue with the arena and the NHL team, and enjoys the benefits of shared promotion and corporate partnership. "We don't compete with ticket sales," Risher says. "We cut them in as part-owners and share in sales, and spread the risk." By partnering with another team and a facility, Columbus was able to cut its startup costs in half, Risher says. "Some teams in the AFL lose $1.5 million a year. We had a small deficit the first year only because of startup costs." For Team Sales, the contract helped double revenues last year. Risher declines to say how much revenues are, other than to say they are in the six figures. The goal for Team Sales is to find itself negotiating the purchase of a team in one of the big four pro leagues, boosting its commission into the millions. "You don't know when that deal will happen, you have to be ready," Risher says. "We just have to keep doing credible deals.

Spielman was a standout on the football field, starring at Ohio State University before enjoying a successful professional football career. He was a two-time All-American and a three-time All-Big Ten selection at linebacker for the Buckeyes. His NFL career included stints with the Detroit Lions, Buffalo Bills, and Cleveland Browns. He was selected to the Pro Bowl on four different occasions.

One-term president Courtesy The Columbus Dispatch COLUMBUS, OH (May 8, 2004) – With four games left on the Columbus Destroyers' schedule, including two at Nationwide Arena, the franchise is already looking forward to next year. But the team's interim president for its inaugural Arena Football League season, Dave Whinham, will be long gone by the time the 2005 campaign begins. It's not that he doesn't like Columbus or that the Destroyers don't appreciate what he's done this season. After all, despite a losing record, the club has recorded sellouts at four of its first six home games and has averaged more than 16,600 fans per game. Instead, Whinham runs his professional-sports brokerage business, The Team Sales Company, and that's where his focus is about to return. "We continue to advance the mission of The Team Sales Company even while we're here," said the former college and AFL football coach. And the success of the Destroyers "is very important to Team Sales, the AFL and me personally." It's a good time to be in the sports-brokerage business, said Dean Bonham, president of the Bonham Group, a sports and entertainment marketing company based in Denver. "Generally speaking, the health of all the major leagues, with the exception of the (National Hockey League), is very good," he said. "When you include the Arena Football League, lacrosse and others, it's a strong market." Last month, the National Basketball Association's Phoenix Suns were sold for an NBA record $401 million. The deal includes several other properties, including the AFL's Arizona Rattlers. The Team Sales Company isn't working in that lofty price neighborhood — yet. Instead, it is involved primarily in second-tier sports or minor-league franchises, in which the dollar values are typically in the seven to low eight-figure range. Whinham's plain, white-painted cinder-block office, tucked away in the arena's concrete bowels, hints that he is a short-timer in Columbus. A framed, signed poster of a football team sits on the floor, propped up by some boxes. It's a reminder of his first go-round in Columbus, in 1991, when he was general manager and coach of the Thunderbolts, an earlier AFL club. The team played at the graying Fairgrounds Coliseum for a year and promptly moved to Cleveland for the following season. The Destroyers are nothing like the Thunderbolts, Whinham said. The current club has a solid ownership group, a terrific arena and a complete marketing plan that has allowed the club to line up more than a dozen sponsors. "It's as different as night and day," Whinham said. "Those people with the Thunderbolts were fine people, but this is much more professional." Whinham formed The Team Sales Company in early 2002 with Alan Risher, who played quarterback at Louisiana State University and then in the National Football League and the old United States Football League. Working for AFL teams and the league provided Whinham with his business education, while Risher spent 12 years in sales before becoming a head coach and general manager in AFL 2 — the AFL's developmental league. In many ways, the Destroyers will provide a template for future deals by The Team Sales Company, linking sports franchises with ownership groups and arenas. The company was hired last year by Mark Hamister, owner of the financially floundering Buffalo Destroyers, to salvage the franchise's value. One of the first places Whinham looked was Columbus. "I always believed that Columbus and the AFL were a perfect match," he said. "But for a long time, the city never had the facility." Whinham's concept was to form local partnerships for the franchise. The Team Sales Company first worked on forging an arrangement with Nationwide Arena. That would allow the Destroyers to control expenses while providing the arena the potential to earn more from tickets, concessions and sponsorships. Then Whinham worked on linking with its major competitor at the arena — the NHL's Columbus Blue Jackets. That would give the Destroyers not only local ownership but additional business expertise. The Team Sales Company succeeded when Blue Jackets majority owner John H. McConnell bought a one-third stake in the Arena League team. Finally, Whinham knew he had to forge a tie between the team and central Ohio's biggest football franchise: the Ohio State University Buckeyes. So, former OSU coach Earl Bruce was hired as the Destroyers' coach, and former linebacker Chris Spielman was brought on as director of operations. Former Buckeyes Jim Lachey, Jim Karsatos and Bobby Olive also took on roles with the team, while NFL wide receiver Joey Galloway acquired an ownership stake. On most occasions when Team Sales has been involved with a deal, its officials stayed on only as short-term consultants. But Whinham took a bigger role with the Destroyers because of the deal's importance as a prototype. The search for a new president is winding down; a successor is likely to be named by the end of the year. Hamister, who held a one-third interest in the team, sold his stake to Germain Motor Co. "We put together a system that works," Whinham said. "I think the Destroyers have a great future."
The Team Sales Company client finds a home in Columbus Courtesy The Buffalo News BUFFALO, NY (May 7, 2004) – Every so often you'll find a child walking around with a Fred McNair Buffalo Destroyers jersey, and the team's logo remains in front of what was considered the Arena Football League's best practice facility. Other than that, there isn't much evidence that the Destroyers ever existed in Western New York. But eight months after the franchise left Buffalo and moved to Ohio, the Columbus Destroyers are thriving. While the Destroyers continue to struggle on the field with a 4-8 record, central Ohio football fans have embraced the team, averaging a league-best 16,619 in Nationwide Arena. They've sold out three of six home games. The smallest crowd of 15,108 is over 5,000 more than the Buffalo Destroyers' largest crowd during the 2003 season. Columbus has more than 11,000 season-ticket holders. Former Buffalo Destroyers coach and General Manager Dave Whinham, team president in Columbus, played a primary role in relocating the franchise and wisely brought Ohio State icons into the fold. Whinham and his company, The Team Sales Company, directed the search that led to the hiring of former Ohio State coach Earle Bruce (coach and general manager) and Buckeyes All-American linebacker Chris Spielman (director of football operations). In December, the Destroyers brought wide receiver Joey Galloway, another Ohio State All-American, into the group as a partner. Columbus has supported the team despite the Destroyers having no former Buckeyes on the roster. The franchise is no longer hemorrhaging money. "We've taken a situation that was in tough shape and made it into one of the more successful situations in the league," Whinham said. "I'm proud of that. I always believed that Columbus and Arena Football were a perfect match. . . . The football fans of central Ohio proved our hunch to be correct." Not long ago, former Destroyers owner Mark Hamister had a similar hunch about Western New York, but he's out of the Arena business altogether. This time last year, he owned franchises in Buffalo, Rochester and Cincinnati. He decided to shut down operations in Rochester and Cincinnati following last season, then accepted a buyout of his remaining Destroyers shares (37 percent) in January for an undisclosed sum. The AFL awarded Buffalo an expansion franchise in 1997, and one of Hamister's first projects was a major advertising campaign that helped spread the Arena Football gospel throughout the region. The Destroyers' season-ticket base of more than 12,000 was the largest in the league. But attendance dropped after the team lost 21 of its first 22 games. The season-ticket base fell nearly 80 percent from the team's inaugural season in 1999. At the end of the 2003 season, Hamister, who lost more than $5 million on the club over the last two seasons, concluded it wasn't economically viable for the franchise to remain in Buffalo. The Destroyers' lease agreement with HSBC Arena had expired and, following months of negotiations, talks broke down. Hamister sold a 63 percent interest in the Destroyers to a group of Columbus-based businessmen for an undisclosed sum. He sought and received a deal with Nationwide Arena to share revenue from ticket sales and advertising. When the Destroyers were in Buffalo, the sales and marketing staff was less than a dozen. Now it's nearly 50, and corporate sponsors include Anheuser-Busch, Dairy Queen, Nationwide Insurance, Thrifty Car Rental, UPS and Wendy's. "I didn't have any other options about moving the team," Hamister said this week. "It tears up my heart when I think about it."
The Team Sales Company closes a "sweet" deal TAMPA, Fla. (March 16, 2004) – The Team Sales Company, a leading business broker for sports and entertainment properties, successfully secured financing for one of the nation's newest interactive candy companies. Gary Evans, founder of Captain Muddy's Tasty Treats, solicited The Team Sales Company to arrange capital investment for his new company. The Team Sales Company also assisted Evans with the initial planning stages of the venture. "The Team Sales Company was a major component in helping to put together my new company," Evans said. "They worked with me to develop the business plan and helped me write the financial plan. They were also able to get me in front of potential investors and presented my ideas in a light that ultimately made my company an attractive investment opportunity." Interactive candy is a unique discipline that meshes candy and toys. Many of the current interactive candy products include suckers, liquid suckers, and dextrose. Evans' goal is to introduce to the market new, innovative products, including licensed specialty products for the sports and entertainment industry. "We want to take the interactive candy industry to different directions that it's never been before," Evans added. "And with the business expertise provided by The Team Sales Company and the added capital investment, I'm confident that our business model will prove successful." Evans is no stranger to professional sports, having played in the NFL in the early 1980s. Since his playing days, Evans has been in the confections business for over 20 years and has over 10 years experience in the interactive candy industry. He was previously in charge of sales and marketing for Clark Bar America. He led Cap Candy to the largest years it has ever had and oversaw a ten-fold growth of Candy Planet in his first year with that company. With Captain Muddy's Tasty Treats, Evans expects to roll out a number of new products in the coming months. The first product is expected out in May 2004 and will be a mixture of both toy and candy in the same package with a suggested retail price of $0.99. "The interactive candy project is another example of The Team Sales Company finding creative ways to help build our industry. We're confident that Gary will do a tremendous job with Captain Muddy's Tasty Treats and that we will be seeing his products at sporting events for many years to come." After beginning operations in January of 2002, The Team Sales Company quickly became the business brokerage for the sports and entertainment industry. Along with brokering professional sports opportunities, The Team Sales Company also offers comprehensive consulting services to owners new to the industry, prospective owners, and current owners facing challenges. The Team Sales Company has established a world-class advisory board, many of whom are actively involved in its consulting and acquisition practice, as well as an outstanding roster of strategic partners that assist The Team Sales Company in providing services to a wide variety of teams, leagues, venues, and investors throughout the United States, Canada, and Latin America.
The Team Sales Company client posting sell outs in Columbus COLUMBUS, OH (February 28, 2004) – The Arena Football League's Columbus Destroyers expect another capacity crowd at Nationwide Arena this Sunday. The Destroyers played to a sell-out crowd of 17,171 in their inaugural home game on February 13, and another full house is expected this weekend when the Destroyers make their debut on NBC Sports against the Dallas Desperados. The Team Sales Company, a business brokerage and management firm for sports and entertainment properties, has been involved with the Columbus Destroyers since the team's arrival to central Ohio. The Team Sales Company was the agency of record for the sale of a majority of the team to local ownership that included Columbus Blue Jackets owner John H. McConnell, Ohio businessman Jim Renacci, and former Ohio State University wide receiver Joey Galloway. In addition, The Team Sales Company negotiated a dynamic partnership with the Blue Jackets and Nationwide Arena that harnessed the marketing power of those two entities to help promote the Destroyers and managed the AFL team's relocation from Buffalo, NY, to Columbus. "We have always believed that the city of Columbus and the Arena Football League were a perfect match," said Dave Whinham, President of The Team Sales Company. "Once we were able to build the partnerships between the Destroyers, the Columbus Blue Jackets, Nationwide Arena, our legendary Buckeyes, and our owners, we were in a position to do great things." Once in Ohio, the Destroyers' ownership group hired The Team Sales Company to manage the team during its inaugural season, naming Whinham as their interim president for the first season. Whinham and his company immediately made a splash, hiring legendary Ohio State football coach Earle Bruce as the Destroyers' head coach and general manager. He also hired Chris Spielman, a revered former Ohio State and NFL linebacker, as the team's Director of Football Operations. From there the Destroyers continued to forge partnerships that would help to validate the Destroyers in the Columbus community. The team joined forces with the Buckeye Legends, a group of former Ohio State football players that includes Spielman, Jim Lachey, and Jim Karsatos, to help market and promote the team. Just days after it was officially announced that Arena Football was returning to Columbus, hundreds of season tickets had been sold. The Destroyers continued to sell season ticket packages at an impressive pace during the weeks leading up to the start of the season, and by the time the first touchdown was scored in Nationwide Arena, nearly 11,000 season tickets had been sold, a total that ranked among the league leaders. In addition to the impressive ticket sales numbers, the business community stepped up to embrace the Destroyers. Germain Motor Company signed on as the inaugural season Presenting Sponsor, while numerous other businesses partnered with the team as season sponsors, including AD Farrow Harley Davidson, Anheuser Busch, Crowne Plaza, Crawford Communities, and Wendy's. "The progress that we have been able to make in Columbus has been very encouraging," said Alan Risher, Vice President of The Team Sales Company. "We're looking forward to continuing to provide similar results for professional sports owners throughout the country and those looking at getting into professional sports ownership." After beginning operations in January of 2002, The Team Sales Company quickly became the business brokerage for the sports and entertainment industry. Along with brokering professional sports opportunities, The Team Sales Company also offers comprehensive consulting services to owners new to the industry, prospective owners, and current owners facing challenges. The Team Sales Company has established a world-class advisory board, many of whom are actively involved in its consulting and acquisition practice, as well as an outstanding roster of strategic partners that assists The Team Sales Company in providing client services. The Team Sales Company has compiled an impressive listing of professional sports opportunities in the United States, Canada, Latin America, and Europe, including numerous sports and entertainment related technologies, professional sports teams at all levels, and several professional leagues and projects. The Team Sales Company also represents a variety of clients interested in professional sports acquisition, ranging from successful pro sports owners to those seeking first-time acquisition.
