TO: Mayor Steve DonCarlos,Members of City Council and City Staff
FROM: Tracey S.Wheeler,Bayou Bowl Executive Director
SUBJECT: Bayou Bowl 2011 Annual Report
The 9th Annual Bayou Bowl held June 11,2011 was a huge success hosting more than 7,000
Baytonians and visitors to Stallworth Stadium for an outstanding night of all-star high school
football. In addition to the game itself,Bayou Bowl included a Celebrity Golf Tournament held
at Eagle Point Golf Club with some 140 players and 30 celebrities. Tuesday evening was the
dinner at Luna's sponsored by Luna's,Bear Estrada and Ohmstede. The players enjoyed
mariachi players and a"grito"contest which was won by a Louisiana player. Thursday night a
dinner was hosted at Bridgewater Events. Royal Purple Raceway hosted the players and coaches
on Friday evening with street races. The player's banquet held at the Memorial High School on
Saturday included the presentation of player ring certificates,autographed footballs to players and
coaches,and Profit Plus Water Bottles. This year's banquet attendance was MC'd by Channel
13's Sports Reporter Bob Slovak and the keynote address was presented by Jackie Sherrill. This
event was catered by Roosters who served their famous chicken fried steak.
We were extremely pleased to have the support of Channel 13 this year and look forward to
working with them again next year. Their publicity of the game assisted us tremendously in the
Houston viewing area. They brought Bayou Bowl to a new level of exposure. We do believe that
having the game live decreases the number of local game goers but it is worth the sacrifice to
have the added exposure.
Bayou Bowl week included many activities for the players including:
• Check in on Tuesday for players at two Baytown hotels(Comfort Suites and La Quinta
East)with local cheerleaders to welcome and lunch served by Sonic. "Goody"bags
filled with snack items were prepared by the Baytown Chamber of Commerce.
• Photo shoot/media day was also on Tuesday
• Thursday afternoon was spent at Pirate's Bay Waterpark with lunch provided by Jason's
Deli
• Friday afternoon was spent at the Kemah Boardwalk.
• The Friday night dinner was provided by Chick-Fil-A.
• The pre-game dinner on Saturday was held at the San Jacinto Mall and catered by Chili's.
• Pizzas were purchased for late night snacks&team meetings from Double Dave's.

In addition to all of this,the Bayou Bowl Golf Tournament was again held on the Friday prior to
the game and featured some 170+players. 36 teams of 4 with a celebrity player for most of the
teams. There were some 30 or more celebrities in town to play in the tournament. Rusty Senac,
Chambers County Commissioner,chaired the Golf Tournament for the second year,and he and
his committee put on a great event.
As you can see,it was a full week of activities and most of those activities supported local
businesses. The game brings many visitors to our area including parents,family members and
golfers. From all appearances,there were more Louisianan visitors this year than ever before.
As we all know,the economy has affected all non-profits and certainly has taken it's toll on this
event.
Bayou Bowl books 100 rooms for five nights for this game for players and coaches. In addition,
we have discovered from our research that many of the hotel rooms were filled during that
weekend. We have calculated that with the many areas of expenditure for this event Bayou Bowl
has an economic impact of more than$500,000 for Baytown.
Room tax alone generated more than$4,000 in city sales tax which will return to the City. In
addition,there was sales tax generated from visitors during that week to include meals, shopping,
gasoline,etc. This is an estimated amount of approximately$6,000. This is a total sales tax
income of at least$10,000. Bayou Bowl purchases meals,t-shirts,awards,printing services and
much more from local businesses. All of this has an impact on our local economy.
In addition to this,the City of Baytown receives unlimited publicity on our community. The
advertising done before the event and the advertising that we receive when the game is televised
is immeasurable. Baytown receives exposure to many cities in Louisiana and to many
surrounding communities with the newspaper and radio advertising of the game. Bayou Bowl is
by-far one of the two best exposures that Baytown receives from events(the other being Royal
Purple Raceway Natl.Race).
The Bayou Bowl Board is extremely appreciative of the financial participation and the support
that we receive from the City of Baytown. We hope that we can depend on your support in the
future.
Thank you again for your support of the Bayou Bowl.
