The Withum Los Angeles team had the opportunity last week to tour SoFi Stadium (home of the Rams and Chargers)! It was a lot of FUN and the highlights were the locker room access and kicking field goals. Well, to be honest, I tried to kick field goals but failed miserably!
🚨 Race Insight Alert! 🚨
Our advanced data and pricing models were in action at York’s Ebor Festival last month, providing in running pricing to our bookmaker partners in real time:
🐎Race Dynamics: Only the top 4 in the betting, all under 10/1 pre-race, got a real chance to shine. The pricing had City of Troy favourite throughout—once it took the early lead at a reasonable pace, the rest never stood a chance, with the shortest price outside the top 4 trading at 10/1.
🥇City of Troy's Dominance: City of Troy never lost his edge. Even as Calandagan surged up the home straight, the closest he came was trading as an 11/10 joint favourite. Our pricing kept on top of every move.
❗ Ambiente Friendly’s Struggles: Ambiente Friendly's unsettled start was reflected in the odds—never trading shorter than his SP of 13/2. In fact, he was the first from the top 4 to hit double figures.

This is a great article for anyone following the now defunct proposal to move the Capital One Arena to Alexandria, VA or the Tropicana field redevelopment in St Petersburg. I value what they did in Toronto to modernize the Rogers Centre and think about how visitors want to spend time and experience games. The idea of revitalizing an existing stadium over building new has so many benefits from the environment to preserving the local economy to saving money. Let’s take some lessons from these examples!
This is a partnership that I’m especially proud of and excited about, more so than if it was with a behemoth club like a Los Angeles Lakers (I would take that too, let's be honest).
My point is, there are so many leagues like the United Soccer League (USL) that sit under the 'Big 5' US leagues (NBA, MLS, NFL, NHL, MLB) that are crying out for a suitable athlete management system (AMS), and I feel like we're really starting to dial in this niche 'smaller budget pro team' market.
A few characteristics that make this type of league a good fit for Lumin Sports that I've noticed:
💰 Smaller budgets than the NBA, NFL, MLS, MLB
👥 Still have multiple performance departments that need alignment
🔻 Lower resources, can't afford to dedicate staff to run a complex AMS
📊 Still have a decent amount of sports tech they need data centralised for
⌛ Time-poor, the need to consolidate all apps and systems into one app.
It's going to be a solid season, let's go Andy Costin!

CPKC Stadium's success is a game-changer for the Kansas City Current, boosting revenue by $20M in its first year 📈
Despite limited capacity, ticket prices soared, making up for fewer seats. Now, the Current are looking to expand and set the stage for a $800M real estate development.
The success of their purpose-built stadium could be the blueprint for other NWSL teams, though replicating the model could be a challenge.

⚽ Data is becoming increasingly important in football
But TransferRoom is not a data provider. We are a transfer marketplace. However, we still want to enable club decision makers on our platform to make quick decisions on a player's relevance to them - to the benefit of all actors on our marketplace.
That is why the partnership with PFF FC makes so much sense! The team at PFF FC are experts on the data side of things; with years of experience from being the #1 data provider to the NFL, but now with a strong team dedicated to (real) football.
Specifically, physical data has been one of the most requested additions to our platform from our users in recent years. The primary reason being that it's transferable across league and country. While your passing accuracy might plummet in a better league, when going up against better opposition, your top speed should remain unchanged - making it possible to subjectively evaluate players based on their data.
We look forward to the collaboration and send a big thanks to Nate Gerstle, Alexander Schram, James Clarke-Reed and the rest of the team for making this possible!
You’ve asked for physical performance data on TransferRoom, and here it is 👇
We’re excited to launch our partnership with PFF FC 🤝
The essential partner to the world’s highest-performing sports organisations, PFF FC will bring game-changing physical performance data to TransferRoom.
📈 Clubs, agents and players now get access to Max Speed and Distance Covered for players.
"This collaboration provides hundreds of clubs, agents and players with vital physical data." Nate Gerstle, PFF FC CEO
"With physical data, you now have a more complete picture and the ability to make better decisions on transfers.” Jonas Ankersen, TransferRoom CEO
