AS A RESULT OF THIS FINDING, THE IRS DETERMINED THAT THE REVENUES DERIVED FROM THE FACILITY'S OPERATIONS ARE NOT SUBJECT TO UNRELATED BUSINESS INCOME TAX. MECA ALSO OPERATES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FINDINGS OF THIS RULING AS IT PERTAINS TO THE OPERATIONS OF TD AMERITRADE PARK OMAHA.

FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION MECA'S PRIMARY GOAL OF MAINTAINING AND GROWING ATTENDANCE WAS SUCCESSFULLY ACHIEVED IN FISCAL 2016-2017, WELCOMING 1.0 MILLION VISITORS TO OUR FACILITIES. IN FACT, THE WEBSITE BUZZFEED FOUND THAT CENTURYLINK CENTER OMAHA (CLCO) IS THE MOST FREQUENTLY REFERENCED LOCATION IN ALL OF NEBRASKA ON INSTAGRAM. ACCORDING TO POLLSTAR, A TRADE PUBLICATION FOR THE CONCERT INDUSTRY, IN 2017 CLCO WAS RANKED 53RD IN WORLDWIDE ARENA SALES WITH 238,515 TICKETS SOLD. THIS BEAT DENVER'S PEPSI CENTER (RANKED 62ND WITH 209,918 TICKETS SOLD), DES MOINES' WELLS FARGO CENTER (RANKED 76TH) AND LINCOLN'S PINNACLE BANK ARENA (RANKED 83RD). IN 2017, ARENA ATTENDANCE NUMBERS AT CLCO BEAT OUT EVERY OTHER CONCERT VENUE IN NEBRASKA, AND FIVE OF ITS NEIGHBORING SIX STATES. THE 2016-2017 FISCAL YEAR WELCOMED 17 CONCERTS THAT INCLUDED A VARIETY OF GENRES. JIMMY BUFFETT, TWENTY ONE PILOTS, FLORIDA GEORGIA LINE, BLAKE SHELTON, ERIC CHURCH, NEIL DIAMOND, AND CHANCE THE RAPPER ALL PLAYED IN FRONT OF SOLD-OUT AUDIENCES. MANY DIFFERENT TYPES OF SPORTING EVENTS WERE HELD AT CLCO AND TD AMERITRADE PARK OMAHA (TDAPO) INCLUDING THE OLYMPIC TEAM TRIALS FOR SWIMMING, LONGINES FEI WORLD CUP(TM) JUMPING AND FEI WORLD CUP(TM) DRESSAGE FINALS, THE CHICAGO BULLS VERSUS ATLANTA HAWKS NBA EXHIBITION GAME, THE BIG EAST TOURNAMENT, AND THE AKSARBEN RODEO. THE OLYMPIC TEAM TRIALS FOR SWIMMING ARE ONLY REPORTED FOR THE DAYS THAT OCCURRED IN FISCAL 2016-2017, AS THE BEGINNING OF THE TRIALS OCCURRED IN JUNE 2016 WHICH WAS INCLUDED IN THE FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THE PRIOR FISCAL YEAR. WE ARE PROUD TO BE HOST FACILITIES FOR CREIGHTON BASKETBALL AND BASEBALL, AS WELL AS THE ANNUAL NCAA MEN'S COLLEGE WORLD SERIES, AND EAGERLY WELCOME FANS FOR EACH OF THESE EVENTS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. FISCAL 2016-2017 WAS ALSO BUSY FOR THE CONVENTION CENTER, HOSTING OVER 150 CONVENTIONS, MEETINGS, CONSUMER SHOWS AND SOCIAL EVENTS WITH 275 EVENT DAYS. WE ATTRIBUTE A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF THAT SUCCESS TO OUR HARD WORKING STAFF MEMBERS, WHO HAVE HELPED BOTH CLCO AND TDAPO EARN REPEAT BUSINESS. IN 2017 EXIT SURVEYS, 91% OF MEETING ORGANIZERS SAID THEY WOULD RE-BOOK FUTURE EVENTS AT THESE FACILITIES. IN THOSE SAME SURVEYS, 83% TO 98% OF OUR CLIENTELE RATED OUR CUSTOMER SERVICE PARTNERS, LEVY PREMIUM FOODSERVICE AND J&S AUDIO VISUAL, AS "VERY GOOD OR HIGHER FOR QUALITY OF THEIR FOOD, BEVERAGE AND AUDIO VISUAL SERVICES. FISCAL 2017-2018 IS ALREADY OFF TO A STRONG START, WITH A WIDE VARIETY OF EVENTS AT CLCO AND TDAPO. THERE WILL BE NUMEROUS CONCERTS AND EVENTS REFLECTED IN THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR, INCLUDING PAUL MCCARTNEY, COLDPLAY, LADY GAGA, TIM MCGRAW AND FAITH HILL, CHRIS STAPLETON, KATY PERRY, THOMAS RHETT, MIRANDA LAMBERT, KID ROCK, SHANIA TWAIN AND COMEDIAN JEFF DUNHAM. WORLD WRESTLING ENTERTAINMENT WAS AT CLCO IN SEPTEMBER AND WILL RETURN IN FEBRUARY, AND THE NCAA MEN'S BASKETBALL REGIONAL TOURNAMENT WILL BE IN OMAHA THIS MARCH. CLCO IS ALREADY ACCUSTOMED TO WELCOMING LARGE BASKETBALL CROWDS, SERVING AS THE HOST ARENA FOR THE CREIGHTON MEN'S BASKETBALL TEAM. A REPORT PUBLISHED BY THE NCAA IN JUNE 2016 FOUND THAT CREIGHTON MEN'S HOME GAMES DRAW THE 10TH HIGHEST ATTENDANCE RATES AMONG DIVISION I UNIVERSITIES NATIONWIDE, AVERAGING 15,941 PER GAME. WE ALSO ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO THE BIG TEN BASEBALL TOURNAMENT, WHICH WILL BE HELD AT TDAPO FOR FIVE YEARS BEGINNING IN SPRING OF 2018. OMAHA HAS PROVEN TO BE ONE OF THE MOST ATTENDED HOST SITES IN NCAA WOMEN'S VOLLEYBALL HISTORY, AS SIX OF THE TOP EIGHT ATTENDANCE RECORDS HAVE ALL BEEN SET AT CLCO. OMAHA WON THE OPPORTUNITY TO HOST THE NCAA DIVISION I WOMEN'S VOLLEYBALL CHAMPIONSHIP IN 2020, MAKING THIS THE FOURTH TIME THAT CLCO WILL HOST THE TOURNAMENT. IN ADDITION, CLCO WILL HOST THE FIRST AND SECOND ROUNDS OF THE NCAA MEN'S BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT AND THE U.S. OLYMPIC TEAM TRIALS FOR SWIMMING IN 2020. THIS WILL BE THE FOURTH CONSECUTIVE TIME THAT THE SWIM TRIALS WILL BE HELD IN OMAHA. THE CONVENTION CENTER CONTINUES TO SUCCESSFULLY MAXIMIZE ITS SPACE, WITH 130 EVENTS AND 245 EVENT DAYS SCHEDULED FOR THE CURRENT YEAR AND EVEN MORE IN THE PLANNING STAGES. IN JANUARY 2018, THE RELIGIOUS CONFERENCE MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION (RCMA) INVITED 800 MEETING PLANNERS AND SUPPLIERS TO EXPERIENCE OMAHA, WHILE USING 3,100 HOTEL ROOM NIGHTS. IN 2020 THE AMERICAN BUS ASSOCIATION WILL BRING 2,000 ATTENDEES TO THE CITY, USING AN ESTIMATED 10,725 ROOM NIGHTS. BOTH EVENTS HELP TO HIGHLIGHT AND SELL OMAHA TO VISITORS, WHO IN TURN PROMOTE THE CITY TO THEIR CLIENTS AND BOARD. MECA HAS ANNOUNCED A NEW SECURITY POLICY AT CLCO AND TDAPO EFFECTIVE ON DECEMBER 31, 2017. A NEW CLEAR BAG POLICY PERMITS CLEAR PLASTIC, VINYL OR PVC BAGS INTO EACH FACILITY. ADDITIONALLY, SMALL CLUTCH-SIZED BAGS ARE STILL ALLOWED AFTER PROPER INSPECTION. THE POLICY WAS DEVELOPED AFTER CONSULTATION WITH LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT AND SECURITY OFFICIALS, AND IS THE BEST CAUTIONARY PRACTICE FOR THE FANS WHO ENTRUST THESE VENUES WITH THEIR SAFETY. MECA IS ALSO IN THE PROCESS OF SECURING WALK THROUGH METAL DETECTORS FOR CLCO TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL SECURITY AND TO HELP SPEED THE PROCESS OF GETTING VISITORS INTO THE BUILDING. AN IMPORTANT GOAL IS TO MAINTAIN OUR PREMISES SO THAT VISITORS ENJOY ALL PARTS OF THEIR FAN EXPERIENCE. DURING FISCAL 2016-2017, WE ADDED A FREE WIRELESS NETWORK (WI-FI) IN THE ARENA AND ADDED LACTATION PODS FOR NURSING MOTHERS AT CLCO AND TDAPO. IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS THAT ARE TAKING PLACE IN BOTH FISCAL 2016-2017 AND 2017-2018 INCLUDE CONCRETE REPAIRS TO PARKING LOTS AND ROOF REPAIRS OVER A LARGE SECTION OF CLCO. THERE ARE NUMEROUS ADDITIONAL PROJECTS PLANNED IN FISCAL 2017-2018 INCLUDING INSTALLATION OF LED LIGHTING IN THE PARKING GARAGE, WALK THROUGH METAL DETECTORS AT CLCO, AND POINT OF SALE SYSTEMS IN THE CONCESSION AREAS AT BOTH FACILITIES. AT TDAPO, THE CARPET IN THE SUITES AND THE BACKSTOP NET WILL BOTH BE REPLACED. IN TOTAL, MECA SPENT $3.0 MILLION ON VARIOUS IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS AT BOTH CLCO AND TDAPO IN FISCAL 2016-2017. THESE PROJECTS WERE PAID FOR USING MECA'S ACCUMULATED CAPITAL RESERVE FUNDS, AND FOLLOWING A BIDDING PROCESS THAT INCLUDES RECEIVING BOARD APPROVAL AT MEETINGS HELD IN ACCORDANCE WITH OPEN MEETING LAWS. A NEW FULL-SERVICE MARRIOTT HOTEL OPENED IN AUGUST 2017, AND WILL BE THE CENTERPIECE OF THE CAPITOL DISTRICT IN DOWNTOWN OMAHA. THE CAPITOL DISTRICT OCCUPIES A KEY AREA OF THE CITY, LINKING RESTAURANTS AND BARS TO THE RIVERFRONT, DOWNTOWN BUSINESSES AND ENTERTAINMENT VENUES, AND IS EXPECTED TO DRAW LOCAL RESIDENTS AS WELL AS VISITORS TO THE AREA. ALONG WITH THE HILTON, WHICH HAS A WALKWAY CONNECTING TO CLCO, BOTH HOTELS HAVE OVER 900 COMBINED ROOMS AND WILL BE CAPABLE OF ACCOMMODATING LARGER OUT-OF-TOWN CONVENTIONS IN OMAHA. SUCCESSFULLY MANAGING TDAPO FOR THE CITY OF OMAHA IS ANOTHER IMPORTANT RESPONSIBILITY FOR MECA. THE BIG EAST HOSTED ITS CONFERENCE TOURNAMENT AT THE BALLPARK IN 2017, AND WE ALWAYS TAKE TREMENDOUS PRIDE IN BEING THE HOME FOR THE NCAA MEN'S COLLEGE WORLD SERIES. MECA RECEIVED AN ANNUAL FEE OF $85,949 FOR THE YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2017 AND 2016 FOR MANAGING TD AMERITRADE PARK OMAHA. FISCAL 2016-17 WAS FINANCIALLY SUCCESSFUL FOR MECA WITH PROFITS BEFORE DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION UP 5% OVER THE PREVIOUS FISCAL YEAR. THE AUTHORITY GENERATED $5.0 MILLION DOLLARS BEFORE DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION, AND $1.6 MILLION AFTER DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION. THE TABLE BELOW PROVIDES THE NET PROFIT GENERATED FOR CLCO OVER THE PAST FIVE YEARS. NET PROFIT NET PROFIT BEFORE AFTER YEAR DEPRECIATION DEPRECIATION DEPRECIATION 2017 $4,968,000 $3,339,000 $1,629,000 2016 $4,749,000 $3,112,000 $1,637,000 2015 $3,153,000 $2,915,000 $ 238,000 2014 $3,283,000 $2,764,000 $ 519,000 2013 $3,617,000 $2,048,000 $1,569,000 IT IS IMPORTANT FOR MECA TO CONTINUE TO GENERATE PROFITS IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN A HEALTHY CAPITAL RESERVE FUND NECESSARY TO REINVEST IN THE FACILITY FOR YEARS TO COME WITHOUT TAXPAYER EXPENSE. MECA'S CAPITAL RESERVE BALANCE AS OF JUNE 30, 2017 AND JUNE 30, 2016 WAS $9,789,479 AND $11,241,031, RESPECTIVELY.
