1. Using the center-of-gravity model and Exhibit 6.15, compute the center of gravity for the population of the county. Show all computations, explain, and justify. Based solely on this criterion, where is the best stadium location?

2. Using a weighted scoring model of your own design what are the summary scores for each stadium site for the qualitative criteria in Exhibits 6.15 and 6.16. (You must decide how to scale and weight each criterion and whether to include or not include cost estimates.) Show all computations, explain, and justify.

3. How will you combine these results (your center-of-gravity results. cost, and qualitative criteria analyses? How might you compute a summary score for each site using all three criteria? Explain and justify.

4. Research and explain at least three ways a sports stadium can “go green” including at least one work practice for stadium employees. Do jobs and processes have to change too? Explain the role of OM.

5. What is your final stadium site recommendation? Explain and justify.
