Abstract: Abstract Regarding the increasing scarcity of public funds, measures to allocate public money efficiently are becoming more and more important. In the sports sector, most of the public funds are spent on the construction and operation of sports facilities in professional spectator sports as well as recreational sports. Since all public authorities are faced with recreational sports while the number of public authorities faced with professional spectator sports is restricted, strategies to (1) save public money and/or (2) reallocate public money more efficiently, particularly in the recreational sports facility sector, are auspicious for all public authorities.
