Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

$15,000,000,000 Mixed Use Entertainment District | Brandon Dowling - Principal at Johnson Consulting
Q: At what stage do Johnson Consulting typically engage in a project, and how do you frame the partnership with public entities?
We position ourselves at the early entry point, conducting market feasibility, site identification, and demand forecasting. The framing centers on aligning incentives between the public and private sides, showing a clear economic impact, and proposing a phased investment plan that minimizes upfront risk while maximizing long-term benefits.
$15,000,000,000 Mixed Use Entertainment District | Brandon Dowling - Principal at Johnson Consulting
Q: Brandon, you've been deeply involved in the planning and development of sports and entertainment venues. In your experience, what are the key ingredients that make a soccer-specific stadium project viable today?
The key ingredients include a fan-friendly stadium with good sightlines, the ability to be multipurpose, a strategic location, and a solid funding mix that often relies on public-private partnerships. Equally important is ensuring there is a surrounding ecosystem—ancillary development like retail, hotels, and convention space—that can sustain demand beyond match days.
Justin Papadakis - The United Soccer League’s Expansion Strategy with Stadium-Anchored Development
Q: Can you please introduce yourself to our audience?
Justin Papadakis introduces himself as the Deputy CEO and Chief Real Estate Officer of the USL, outlining his background in soccer and real estate and his role in the league's expansion and stadium-centered strategy.
Dan Rutstein - President of Business Relations at Orange County SC | USL Pro/Rel & Player Transfers
Q: Amazing. So this is my favorite question to always start off with. How did you get involved in the Beautiful Game?
Dan explains his lifelong involvement in football in England, from playing and refereeing to journalism, and how those experiences led him to eventually running Orange County Soccer Club in California.
How to Buy a European Football Club — Jordan Gardner on MCO, Data & Women’s Game Growth Potential
Q: What makes an MCO structure effective and where do they commonly fail?
Effective MCOs require strong execution, significant capital, and robust in-house commercial capabilities to monetize across clubs; common failures arise from lack of the right people, insufficient financial discipline, and poor execution rather than the concept itself.
