ALL ABOUT THE FANS: Asked about an area in sports business that could be disrupted or tweaked, Gelman looked to the fan, specifically what she called the “average fan.” Gelman: “I’m very worried about the average fan and their ability to attend games and events. I think that we do have this heavy focus on premium and creating these premium spaces. We also need to think about that bifurcation of customers and still getting the early fans or people who have new families that don’t have the resources.” Another issue top of mind for Gelman? Diversity. “Diversity at the executive level in terms of women and Black leaders is something that I know is a focus and I think continues to need to be a significant focus moving forward,” she said.
