Tottenham consolidated its position as one of Europe’s leading football clubs when it completed its outstanding stadium construction.

The project cost a whopping £1bn, with some of the best bookmakers on liontips.com consequently considering Tottenham as favorites to win the Premier League.

 Why? You may ask.

 A typical full-match day revenue at White Hart Lane now sees Tottenham earn a mouthwatering £6m. The financial windfall from ticket sales would empower Tottenham to recruit the biggest names in football. And despite some of the most attractive odds on liontips.co.za for Harry Kane to leave Tottenham, Tottenham had the financial muscle to keep him.

Yes, building sports facilities can be lucrative if done well. You may not have the hundreds of millions to build an outdoor Premier League standard stadium, but you can readily build an indoor sports facility. And, of course, you can make a fortune from it.

 But then you may have wondered what it takes to construct an indoor sports facility. We will tell you.

 Start by examining the strategic location to site your facility

 You must thoroughly investigate the geographic and socioeconomic compatibility of the prospective sites with the needs of your indoor sports facility.

 Starting with socioeconomic compatibility, you must consider logistics like accessibility when choosing your location.

 How easily would your prospective customers get to your indoor sports facility?

 Preferably, your facility shouldn’t be far out of town. You stand the best chances of hitting it big if you can situate your facility in the center of town. 

 But then we admit you will need quite a deep purse to situate your indoor sports facility in such a chic location in a bursting urban setting.

 If you don’t have such a budget, strive not to go too far to the outskirts of town. In today’s society, parents are already bundled up with several activities. They are likely to be too busy to drive their wards to your facility. 

 Regardless of the quality of service your indoor sports facility offer, if there is a significant distance to be lapped up before arriving there, your prospective clients are likely to be disinterested.

 Furnishing your facility: what needs to get in?

 Alright, let us assume you managed to get a superb location to build your facility and secure the needed funding. Expectedly, your next headache would be getting the place stocked with the right equipment.

 Assuming you are building an indoor soccer facility, you will need equipment like a turf (where matches or training would be played), multimedia systems (or public address setup), commentary box, signage, netting, weight training apparatus, desks, and locker rooms.

 On the health and safety side of things, you will need a first aid stand, fire alarm systems, and stretchers. 

 Note that outdoor soccer significantly differs from indoor soccer, especially given the latter needs more specialized gear. Your conventional soccer for an outdoor natural grass pitch may not work on synthetic turf as obtainable in indoor facilities or hardwood (for the likes of futsal). 

 In more contact (and combative) sports, players need protective apparel to play. This is also essential if your facility has hardwood flooring. Protective gear like padded clothing and even headgear may be necessary for such instances.

 Now is the time to promote your facility 

 Sorry buddy, the work doesn’t end right up at the building and furnishing of your indoor sports facility. You have to bring in customers, don’t you?

 This establishes the need for a comprehensive omnichannel marketing strategy. Word of mouth wouldn’t suffice. You need to approach prospective clients like universities, schools, clubs and pitch them your facility. 

 You can also leverage traditional marketing channels like local magazines, sponsoring local events, and distributing flyers to people around your vicinity. 

 Making a big show of your launch event also helps to boom publicity. Host a nice party the day your facility opens. Offer free food and treats for guests. You can’t underestimate how far they would spread good tidings about your facility.

 Digital marketing is admittedly your surest bet when it comes to promotion. You can run targeted ads within your locality that will give you more online visibility. You can offer your leads a free tour of your facility in your digital campaigns. 

 Finally, if you were wondering how you would get the return on your investment, there are several ways to reap handsome dividends from your investment in an indoor sports facility. 

 First and foremost is the sales of tickets to people who show up to watch matches in your facility. You can also rent it to people hosting events. You can even host soccer parties and summer camps in your facility and be paid nicely for it.
