Observation 4 (Dr. Finley)

For this observation I shadowed an old professor that I had, Dr. Finley. He is the head of the sports management program and I have worked with him on a few extra curricular activities. So on Tuesday, February 9th I visited his 9:15 facility and event management class, which turns out to have a lot of members of my subculture currently in it. It seems that this Sports Management class is more for the upper class man and those soon to graduate.
Dr. Finley has always intrigued me as a student and is one of the only professors I have had that knows how to motivate students to learn in those early morning classes. I say this from experience and while observing the class today saw first hand the participation and interest all students had.
Throughout the class they discussed certain sporting facilities and all the intricate parts involved in running a facility. Price range and budgets were thrown around in conversation along with some interesting facts about sports facilities currently open. Most stadiums built these days run the owners and all sponsors billions of dollars, proving how strong the sports market is.
