The Expos' move from Montreal to Washington, D.C., and subsequent rebirth as the Nationals, was one of the sports success stories of 2005. As a result of the move, the team enjoyed significant increases in home attendance and cash flow, revenues from local radio and television rights, and the estimated market value of the franchise - which grew from $50 million in 2004 to over $300 million in 2005. This is but one example of the impact of league reorganization, a phenomenon as old as the leagues themselves. Frank Jozsa takes us on a tour, from the 1870s to the present, of the expansions and mergers, relocations, transfers, and reorganizations that are constantly shifting the professional sports landscape. Incorporating concepts from economics, demographics, management, and marketing, Jozsa explains the successes and failures of such efforts, including their effects on team competitiveness, market share, and prosperity - and their impact on the communities in which the teams operate. Always arguing that professional sport teams are "profit-maximizing businesses," Jozsa's sharp analysis sheds light on the economics, culture, and politics of sports as big business, as decisions are made and implemented. In addition to providing a unique perspective on sports management by tracing historical, demographic, and economic trends, he offers incisive commentary - covering everything from women's basketball to major league soccer - on the future prospects of sports franchises.
