The facility is estimated to generate between $3-4 million of new direct spending from non-local visitors
In the US, there are 1,423 ice rinks currently in operation. Each year, these businesses generate more than $883 million of revenue. The ice rink industry is mature.
The development of Bo Jackson’s Turf and Ice is intended to include mixed use development which will result in additional tax revenue generation for the local municipality
According to a survey conducted by the Matrix Group, 23% of rink patrons spend at least $25 on themselves per week.
- More than 50% of those interviewed said they spend between $6 and $25 per week
Local merchants will support the facility by sponsoring youth teams and purchasing ad space
During times of economic depression, recreation and entertainment industries suffer very little, if at all.
Local residents will spend money on things (such as food and beverage) at BJTI, but also on surrounding goods and services
- Hotels, restaurants, shopping centers, gas, etc.

This facility will be the only one of its kind in the Houston metro and subregional area
The quantity of assets at Bo Jackson’s Turf & Ice is unmatched
BJTI will draw many people from many miles away
Total population in surrounding areas:
- 10 minutes - 136,419
- 15 minutes - 480,554
- 30 minutes - 2,885,268
- 60 minutes - 6,684,639
- 90 minutes - 7,424,241
- 240 minutes - 18,470,983
There are nearly 600,000 school age children in the radius.
This will give a targeted population of 138,000 children to recruit for youth hockey, baseball, softball, soccer, lacrosse development and other programs.
We expect approximately 420,000 annual daily visits at maturity
BJTI will help to build a healthy community
- Healthy communities create self-sustaining environments that reduce healthcare costs and improve quality of life
Active kids do better in life
- Physically active children are: 1/10 as likely to be obese, get up to 40% higher test scores, less drug use, 15% more likely to go to college, 7-8% higher annual earnings, lower health costs, more productive at work, and have a reduced risk of heart disease, stroke, cancer, and diabetes
We expect that business will expand during the first three years of operation and eventually require 20 hours of daily operation
