Sense of community promoted Weaknesses If team is not good then local support could diminish. Few volunteers. At first few people are familiar with the team. Costly expenses if not enough revenue is generated. Opportunities Reputation needs to be established. Advertising and publicity. Sponsorship. Bringing in concerts and other events for functions other than baseball. Threats Seasonal Sport Possible cross-town rival. Other competing events in town during same time as events at the facility. Altercations and other disturbances by fans.
