Purpose/Event:
Spire Gulf Inc. is hosting a reception in connection with the 2020 Senior Bowl in Mobile, AL. The Senior Bowl is a college all-star football game. It is therefore, unlike most football games since the players do not regularly play for the same teams, and there is little rooting interest for the attendees. Nor is there any consequence to the outcome of the game for the teams; only for the individual participants, who are being scouted for possible selection in the NFL draft. The Senior Bowl is a community undertaking for the City of Mobile and the surrounding area. It is, more than anything else, an opportunity for the City to showcase itself to visitors, to a national television audience, and to economic prospects. Historically, the event has a profound impact on the area's economy. For several years, Spire Gulf has hosted a large reception as part of the festivities accompanying the Senior Bowl in Mobile. Admission to the Spire Gulf reception requires an armband, of which there are 550. Spire Gulf does not provide tickets to the Senior Bowl game for any public officials or public employees. The total cost of the reception is $29,297. Of this amount, $15,506 is spent on food and $13,791 is spent on the tent, tables and chairs. Thus the total cost per person (with 550 invitees) is $53.27 if all costs are included; and $28.19 per person if only food, beverages and hospitality costs are included. *Based on cost not exceeding $50/person.
