“…Based on Funk and James' findings, the present study postulated that when sport fans experience nostalgia, it reminds them of the attachment they feel towards the sport. In other words, when individuals are continuously exposed to objects, people or events that trigger nostalgic feelings (Cho et al, 2014), the attachment towards the sport intensifies, strengthening the psychological commitment (Funk & James, 2006;Gladden & Funk, 2001). Hence, the following hypothesis was developed: H1: Nostalgia positively affects satellite fans' psychological commitment.…”

“…When satellite fans desire to relive the memories, it is not easy for them to have the physical aspect of a fan experience compared to local fans due to geographical distance. In other words, the perceived negative situation of satellite fans could generate strong nostalgic feelings (Cho et al, 2014), and sport fans' psychological commitment produces their behavioral intentions (Tachis & Tzetzis, 2015;Tapar et al, 2017). Moreover, Sedikides et al (2016) contended nostalgia as a positive emotion that has the capacity to yield psychological benefits, such as well-being.…”

Sport tourists have the potential to create a significant impact on the development of regional economy and tourism. Especially, satellite fans who enthusiastically support foreign-based teams through media platforms are now drawing attention in the fields of sport and tourism. However, despite the attention from academia and industry, it has not been much studied on factors influencing satellite fans' psychological and behavioral responses. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to extend theoretical evidence of the relationships among satellite fans' nostalgia, psychological commitment, subjective well-being, and travel intention. Data were collected from satellite fans of European professional football leagues in Singapore. The findings showed all hypothesized relationships identified to be significant except for the direct path from satellite fans' nostalgia to travel intention. However, the indirect effects of nostalgia on travel intention were established through psychological commitment and subjective well-being. The findings of this study shed light on the role of nostalgia on satellite fans' psychological and behavioral outcomes. As a result, this provided a fresh perspective for sport tourism marketers to strategize new marketing styles that utilize nostalgic elements to generate satellite fans' nostalgia.

“…In the field of spectator sport, stadium experience is considered 'original' as compared to experiencing it via media (Gumbrecht, 1999). In other words, it is necessary to distinguish between direct and indirect experiences (Cho et al, 2017;Cho et al, 2014), and individuals could have more positive memories through direct experience (Merchant and Ford, 2008). As such, perceived environmental quality and a unique stadium atmosphere are important factors in understanding why sport consumers attend the stadium, as opposed to spectating from home (e.g., Holt, 1995;Wakefield and Boldgett, 1999;Wakefield and Sloan, 1995).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the impact of perceived environmental quality of the stadium on fans’ future intentions to attend a game by highlighting the moderating effect of team loyalty. Design/methodology/approach Using latent moderated structural equations modeling, this study tested the direct impacts of stadium factors on consumers’ desire to stay and revisit intentions and the moderation effects of team loyalty based on Mehrabian and Russell’s environmental psychology behavioral model. Findings The results showed significant direct effects of team loyalty and desire to stay on revisit intentions. The stadium environment influenced desire to stay and revisit intentions only by the interactions with team loyalty. More specifically, higher loyalty led to higher desire to stay and revisit intentions, whereas fans’ positive experience of stadium environment intensified the effect. Originality/value The authors highlight the significant role of desire to stay on revisit intentions by incorporating the cognitive-affective system of human behavior. In addition, this study provides essential information for identifying the interaction effects of environmental factors and team loyalty on consumer behavior in sport settings.

“…Broadcasters are known to maintain extensive and digitally cataloged archives of content, which are often used to fill programming blocks or when sporting events are postponed or canceled. Although rebroadcasted content may hold nostalgic and sentimental value for some (Heetae, Ramshaw, & Norman, 2014), the lack of an uncertain outcome or any new content means that it is only a short-term or stop-gap solution. Whenever possible, new content that facilitates the audience's learning of new information, even in the case of an event they have previously watched, is likely to increasingly engage consumers.…”

Beginning in early March 2020, sport in the United States entered an unprecedented period of hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The postponement, suspension, and cancellation of live sporting events impacted every professional and amateur sport organization, from the National Basketball Association to the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing, high school sports to college football, and even esports leagues. Although the abrupt cancellation of live sporting events was disruptive, it did create opportunities for the production of new media and consumption opportunities for sport leagues, teams, and their fans through different types of sport media broadcasts. This commentary examines how the U.S. sport industry developed media content strategies using new, mixed, and rebroadcasted content, across multiple broadcast and streaming platforms, to provide sport consumption opportunities to fans who were largely quarantined at home. This research contributes to the existing scholarship on live and rebroadcasted mediated content, while providing guidance to content owners and rights holders facing uncertainty in the marketplace.
