STRENGTHS
- The Summit is one of the most state of the art, athletic facilities in the state of Michigan. This is due to the fact of a large portion of funding coming from USA Gymnastics, since the Olympic team was based out of their gym.
- It is one of the only facilities in the area that can hold large events and trade shows and accommodate a large mass of people. Some of these events include Presidential Campaign Rallies, The Deer and Turkey Hunting Expo, The Circus, and The annual Alpacafest.
- The Junior hockey team the Lansing Wolves out of the NA3HL home rink is The Summit which always draws a large crowd of people for their games.
- Since there are multiple sports, it is busy all year round.
Weaknesses
- The management of the facility is very unorganized and does not always utilize great opportunities to make a profit.
- The competition in East Lansing creates a more professional environment which draws more people to their establishment.
Opportunities
- With this new system that I have suggested, it will not only bring in more income but it would cause a lot of positive feedback.
- Bring in more events that are more popular than those just to the area
Threats
- With the rise of the youth sports in the area, there have been talks to build a world class athletic facility which completely suck all of the business from The Summit.
