History

Bicycle track racing in the United States dates back to the 1880’s. By the late 1880’s, track racing was rapidly gaining popularity in the U.S. and Europe. In 1893 cycling had generated a following large enough to justify holding the first world championships. Just three years later, bicycle racing made its way into the first inaugural modern day Olympic Games. FOR MORE INFO CLICK HERE >

Cost / Revenue

The cost of constructing and maintaining a velodrome varies greatly depending upon the scope of the project. The design team has to decide on a “wish list” of items to be included in the building’s program. The team must decide whether it wants a Cadillac or a Chevrolet. The average cost of the actual track is only 3 to 5 percent of the total project cost. FOR MORE INFO CLICK HERE >

Summary

The Phoenix metropolitan area cycling community alone is large enough to provide a sufficient fee revenue structure to maintain a velodrome. The velodrome would provide a positive influence on the youth of the community by offering career training, establishing various sports programs and generating jobs. FOR MORE INFO CLICK HERE >
