Soccer had long been a profit-making enterprise for the OLC. The center's 2005-06 budget projected revenue of $64,000 from soccer team registration fees, $18,500 from soccer gate receipts and $8,000 from soccer advertising. At this point, those line items in the 2006-07 budget show zeros.
Jansen said he has “no idea”what it cost to run the soccer program. “I don’t think we ever put a pencil to it,” he said. But he said the center had costs for utilities, tearing down and setting up the fields, security, maintenance and hiring people to work the gate and concession stand. “There’s a lot of hidden costs there,” he said.
Jansen noted that the OLC and the QCVB are both expected to see higher revenue next year from the city's hotel-motel tax, which generates about one-third of the Civic Center Authority's total operating revenue. Part of the reason for the increase, he said, is the anticipated availability of around 200 new motel rooms in Quincy.
Just because you build it, doesn't mean they'll be full all the time.
