Michael Stanfield Named
National Sports Forum MVP


SAN DIEGO, CA – The National Sports Forum, the largest cross-team sports sales and marketing conference in North America, is pleased to announce its 2011 Steering Committee MVP and Rookie of the Year in preparation for the upcoming 2012 National Sports Forum in Oklahoma City, OK (January 30-February 1, 2012).

The 2011 NSF Steering Committee “Most Valuable Player” Award was awarded to Mike Stanfield, Vice President, Ticket and Suite Sales, New Orleans Saints. The award goes to person who performed the best of the 21-member committee. This is the second time that Mike has taken home the NSF Steering Committee MVP Award.

Entering his 12th season with the club, Michael Stanfield is responsible for all of the Saints’ consumer marketing efforts – directing the sale of season and group tickets, supervising the lease of the Superdome’s luxury suites, overseeing the sale of all team merchandise as well as maintaining the club’s high standards of customer service and retention.

Under his direction, the team has surpassed the majority of the club’s ticket sales milestones, including selling out on a season-ticket basis for the first time in franchise history in 2006 – a feat that has reached five-straight seasons. In 2008 and 2009, the club leased every Superdome suite as well. Saints official merchandise has grown annually into the NFL’s top seller, and Stanfield also supervises the ticket, suite sales and box office personnel on a daily basis.

Stanfield has spearheaded another innovative program unique to the sports industry in launching and supervising an advertising sales staff for WVUE-TV, which was purchased by Saints Owner Tom Benson in 2008.

In 2007, Stanfield completed the Stanford Business School's Executive Education NFL-Stanford Program for Managers, an educational program and honor known league-wide as an important training ground for promising executives.

Stanfield is on the Board of Directors for the Saints Hall of Fame, and a member of the Super Bowl XLVII Host Committee and National Sports Forum Steering Committee. A sports industry public speaker, Stanfield has given presentations at many national events.

A graduate of St. Leo University (Fla.), Stanfield and his wife, Stacey, have a daughter, Olivia Grace and live in Kenner.
