ANALYSIS
The College Football Playoff(CFP)is a postseason tournament in American college football for the National Collegiate Athletic
Association (NCAA) Division I Football Bowl Subdivision, having replaced the prior Bowl Championship Series model to
determine a College Football Champion. The CFP championship game is played on the first Monday that is six or more days
after the CFP semifinals, which take place in the first week of January, and the game's venue is selected based on bids
submitted by cities,similar to the National Football League's Super Bowl or NCAA Final Four basketball tournament.The South
Florida College Football Championship Task Force("Task Force"),which includes the Orange Bowl Committee, is leading the
effort to bid for upcoming opportunities for South Florida to host the CFP Championship Games in 2021,2023,or 2024. As part
of CFP Championship Game bids,the selected destination would be required to host a series of ancillary events for the CFP.
As such,the South Florida College Football Championship Task Force has identified Miami Beach as a community focal point
for hosting the CFP National Championship activations events for visiting fans,including,but not limited to the following:
• Playoff Fan Central:Multi-day ticketed event for fan interactive experiences;
• Playoff Playlist Live: Multi-day ticketed event featuring outdoor concerts
• Watch Party: Event for patrons not attending the Game to observe the Game broadcast in a festival setting.
The South Florida College Football Championship Task Force has support from the City comparable to large scale sporting
events that requested support from the City in the past,including the Super Bowl and WrestleMania.The Task Force requests,
in relation to activations and events associated with any South Florida awarded CFP National Championship Game events,the
following: waiver of the rental fees associated with use of the Miami Beach Convention Center,not to exceed$857,540.80; B)
A)
waiver of special event fees, including special event application fee, permit fee, vehicle access pass fee, square footage fee,
user fee and Police and Fire administrative fees, not to exceed$150,000.00; C)commitment to identifying additional sources of
funds, comparable to the City's support for the 2020 Super Bowl Host Committee, to help defray other related expenses. The
final amounts of such waivers are to be determined following award of such bids and the submission of relevant plans,schedules
and event requirements. Once determined,the Task Force must return to the City Commission for approval of the final waiver
amount,which will be defined with a sponsorship agreement in a form acceptable to the City Manager and City Attorney.
The CFP National Championship Game is annually one of the top rated television events,with the game and ancillary events
expected to bring over one hundred thousand fans to the City. Hosting the CFP National Championship Game in South Florida
further provides a tremendous boost to tourism,with the Game expected to generate several hundred million dollars in direct and
indirect positive economic impact.
