The economic history of the Attendance in Sports in Canada

Wilson (2016) asserts that sports attendance in Canada is ranked as a multi-billion industry that should be held tightly to spur economic development. The media industries in Canada compete in covering specific sporting activities based on Attendance due to the realization of the outcomes. Such instances attract the government and private institutions who play a significant role in sponsoring them to increase the spectator base; hence, improve the revenue collection. The love for a particular sporting activity results in a simultaneous growth in the number of fans and media coverage due with a need for analyzing their favourite teams. Audience attendance results to keen scrutiny of the regulatory measures that govern players in their best outfits and the required tactics that can ensure useful role plays.

Crowd attendance during sporting events is determinant by certain factors which are economically based with a view of improving the revenue collection which can later be turned into developing business entities (DeSchriver, Rascher & Shapiro, 2016). The availability of market refinements determine the number of attendants in sports; hence, such aspects should be keenly considered. The increased number of Attendance in games in Canada is directly linked to the availability of much time for recreation and leisure activities where individuals had increased returns. Therefore, their participation meant that despite, their love for sports, they had reasonable takings that facilitated their Attendance. The rise of professional sporting activities led to international player participation; an instance that has resulted in the audience moving internationally to cheer up for their players, thus improving engagement in the sporting activities.

The Canadian sports attendance is directly linked to the market relations created through the involvement of the audience. The players must have a good rapport with their audience where the audience get entertained during the matches. In this case, individual players become a motivation to a particular group of audience who will always yearn to watch them play. However, their participation should be following the provisions that guide the entire sporting process in terms of incentives given, the participatory behaviours and the costs to be incurred by the audience in a bid to watch their mentors during the activities.

Economic overview of Attendance in sports in Canada

Attendance in games by individuals in Canada promotes social and economic patterns of the people and the government at large. The execution of duties by the medical and other vital sectors need to ensure that the economic impact is achieved through sporting attendance. In this case, there need to be clear relations between the spectators and the bodies charged with the responsibility of putting together policies guiding attendances. Many individuals in Canada are involved sports-attendees. Through their Attendance, there is the creation of job opportunities for the citizens and defines the national cultural perspectives of the people. There is also a reduced chance of individuals falling sick; a state that eats into the government expenditures when handling health issues. Therefore, despite sports attendance being seen as a mere job, it is essential to realize that it is relevant in promoting the economic progress of a nation simultaneously.

There exist many sports in Canada, but individuals only participate in those are kind to them. The demand and supply are significant. Attendance and participation are determined by certain factors which include the reason for involvement as either leisure or entertainment, individual incomes, educational status and the age of the attendees. Attending gaming activities by most of the people in Canada aims at relieving individuals of stressful thoughts and enhance their recreational and slackening motives to strengthen inclusive growth in society.

According to Goldlust (2018), Attendance in sports amongst the Canadians play a significant role in the revenue collection process; hence, it should be promoted. The turn-up of individuals is directly linked to the type of game in questions and the eventual outcomes. Competition is key where most people attend such events bearing in mind how the players will engage themselves, thus, making it possible for them to be part of the entire sporting activity. Funding and development of the arenas to carry out the events play a role in influencing the participants since the Attendance is composed of individuals from various social status hence, they such services provided to them despite having to pay for them. Rules that govern sports have also been linked to the Attendance; discriminative practices make it hard for players and spectators to have free participation in airing their views concerning the incoming or the current activity. Such attempts of restrictions reduce the morale of people in attending such events.

The growth of sports industries is likened to the effect of members of the public and their contribution towards the support of such enterprises. Sports create about one hundred thousand job opportunities to the people despite presenting a platform where they can showcase their agricultural and scientific innovations in a bid to promote sports, improve their intellectual skills and promote the general economy. Other sectors like education are supported through the sport systems; hence, there is a need to ensure that children are taught the importance of taking part in sport through the prevailing education systems. The current cultural designs determine people’s views of games. The Canadian people have different cultural beliefs that affect their decisions in attending sports. It is, therefore, important that the relationship between culture, sports, and the economy is determined as a way of defining the level of people attending games (Hoye, Smith, Nicholson & Stewart, 2015).

The demand for sports attendance in Canada is defined by the professionalism needed by sports leadership. Areas of residence of the people also play a crucial role in gauging the amount of audience. Cold areas have limited attendance and participation in sports activities compared to reasonably hot regions. Individuals living in the local of the country show a small percentage of the audience compared to those living in towns. The attendance is also based on the competitive aspects of the people.

Impact of economic conditions on Attendance in sports in Canada

In Canada, Attendance in games is specific where specific time is determined based on the particular time when performance is intended to happen. This is done to avoid any instances of inconvenience that may be caused due to overcrowding. There are specific days and timelines when Attendance is deemed to be more than expected. The ability to detect the number of spectators is directly linked to the outcomes of the game; either winning or wrangles for the two clashing teams. Such results were reflected on the effect it could have on the economic growth of the country concerning sporting activities. The interests of the participants spurred the Attendance depending on the area where the game takes place. Access to necessities that psyche up the attendees increased their number where business individuals would make much sales and the particular departments collect a lot of revenue.

The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of a state determines the member attendance in sports. When the GDP grows, it increases the number of individuals who attend competitions to a magnified percentage. On the other hand, a drop in GDP reduces participation. During the summer season in Canada sports participation increases which reflects an improved economic growth based on the GDP. Since during season, most people are free, and on their vacation, they find much time at their disposal; hence, spending much of it in attending sports. However, the level of unemployment cannot be likened to the economic progress and the rise in the GDP of a country. When many people are unemployed, most of the time, they are free, and it is not a guarantee that they will attend sporting activities.

The economic progress is measured through the available population and how it grows over time. Massive community results in high government expenditure, meaning that there is a top Gross Domestic Product. During times of high GDP, only wealthy countries allocate significant capital to sports; hence, improving Attendance. The reverse, however, reduces participation due to embryonic development done on the stadiums which attract people.

Attendance in sports is determined by the economic constraints of a nation such as morale from the government and other private sectors, time and gender of individuals. Toffoletti (2017), women are likened to matters to do with beauty, fashion and styles. They, therefore, participate and Attendance in a small portion sports as a way of individual development. Despite this being prevalent in Canada, there are other nations where women are involved much in attending competitions compared to men like in the European Union. The Attendance by different genders is determined by the type of sport and the venue of the activity. However, males use large expenditures in games compared to females. Such attitudes relate to the education levels, priorities and hobbies. The amount of salary one earns determines how often and frequent they will attend sports. Such attendances show that they have enough supplies at their disposal; hence, demand much activity to involve themselves in.

Employment rates define how sports attendance is achieved. However, the available time and earnings determine it all. Canada presents a large percentage of employed individuals, which shows that it is growing economically. However, there is little that is left behind, especially during relevant matches as there is no audience to attend the games. This possesses a threat in achieving the required economic growth about sports. Much of their incomes is allocated to the daily needs making it impossible to save for the games. Active development has achieved the economies of scale are improved through revenue collection from the people during participation in national events. Therefore, these individuals may only create little time in engage in sports from their setting as a way of promoting personal body activity.

The social concepts and attributes of individual define the way to be taken in ensuring that economic progress is achieved. The shared cultural characteristics and behaviours of individuals guarantee that a particular lane is followed towards attaining the demands of the society that spur other forms of growth. The individual definition makes them be realized in the way they carry out their activities, including their hobbies and what they do during their leisure times to the prevailing sporting instances. Attending sports amongst individuals makes it possible for a state to realize the best motives for its people in enhancing a whole social society. Such attempts enable the creation of a platform where investors can come and sell their products and pay revenue to the country, which can be used in other developmental projects. A sense of belonging during these sports also enables every individual always to attend and mingle. Before the kick of the events, campaigns are carried out to inform the public about the game thus, preparing them by putting aside funds to be used during the competition especially in buying refreshments and transport fees. Everyone becomes on the lookout by availing the required aspects to facilitate the event which should be economical.

Recommendations and impact of changes

Sports attendance in Canada works on diverse aspects that improve the economic framework of people and the citizen fraternity across. However, there should be improvements to enhance the financial point through sports. Recommendations should be made in several sectors that work towards ensuring that effective changes are made and desired outcomes adopted. Such suggestions should include the creation of new dogmas that affect different areas. Sports attendance performs an effective way of promoting the economic situations of a country (Bowersox, 2018). Therefore, specific execution goals should be introduced to acknowledge that sports attendance works towards changing the health perspectives of the people. The government should also take an active part in encouraging people to grace sports by coming up with relevant spurs that involve their contribution to the sports industry to enhance economic prosperity.

The Canadian federal government and other forms of government should take a participative approach in the sports of the country to ensure that transparent support and collaboration is achieved through the efforts of the subjects. However, this should be done through the use of financial expenses to result in tangible outcomes. These governments should also have friendly rules that enhance swift participation from the people (Parent, 2016). Everyone should participate in the Attendance of sports as a way of participating in improving the country’s economy and creating opportunities for others to exploit their skills hence generating revenue for the country. Society creation and nurturing are achieved when every member is included in the gaming sensations, making it possible for a country to attain cohesiveness in both cultural and social relations.

Everyone needs to realize the role of sports in ensuring a whole society and the age brackets of proactive individuals, especially in Canada. Therefore, there should be a lively setting that enables all participants to experience all the provisions of attending sports to enhance constancy. Since the number of participation gradually rises, the government. There should be a provision where the character is taught to those who attend; fans, players or coaches to ensure that solidity for everyone in Canada is achieved through sports.
