The budget for investing in a digital sports arena can be influenced by various factors. Here is a rough analysis:
1. Venue related expenses
· Rent: Rent varies greatly in different cities and locations. In the bustling commercial districts of first-tier cities, the monthly rent per square meter may range from 200 to 500 yuan or even higher; in non-core areas of second- and third-tier cities, it may cost 50-200 yuan per square meter per month. If it is a 1000-square-meter venue, the monthly rent in first-tier cities may be 200000 to 500000 yuan, and in second- and third-tier cities it may be 50000 to 200000 yuan. Usually, 3-6 months' rent needs to be reserved as an initial investment. The initial rent investment in first-tier cities is about 600,000 to 3 million yuan, and in second- and third-tier cities it is about 150,000 to 1.2 million yuan.
· Venue renovation and decoration costs: The decoration style and grade determine the cost level. If a high-end venue with a sense of technology and fashion is created, the decoration cost per square meter may reach 2000-5000 yuan; intermediate-level decoration costs approximately 1000-2000 yuan per square meter; simple basic decoration costs 500-1000 yuan per square meter. A venue of 1000 square meters requires 2-5 million yuan for high-end decoration, 1-2 million yuan for medium decoration, and 500,000 to 1 million yuan for basic decoration.
2. Equipment procurement cost:
The digital sports arena requires various equipment, and the following is a rough budget for equipment in different areas.

· Overall: For a venue of 2000-3000 square meters, the equipment investment is approximately 1.5-2 million yuan, and the equipment budget for a venue of 1000 square meters can be estimated proportionally at around 0.5-1 million yuan.
3. Personnel costs:
Professional technical personnel, customer service personnel, marketing personnel, fitness coaches, etc. need to be recruited. The average salary of employees in first-tier cities is relatively high, and the monthly personnel salary expenditure may be between 100,000 and 300,000 yuan; in second- and third-tier cities, the cost is relatively low, around 50,000 to 150,000 yuan per month. In the early preparation stage, it may be necessary to pay personnel salaries for 1-3 months as preparation costs, which are approximately 100000 to 900000 yuan in first-tier cities and 50000 to 450000 yuan in second- and third-tier cities.
4. Operating expenses
· Water and electricity costs: The electricity consumption of equipment operation, lighting, air conditioning, and other facilities in the venue, as well as daily water usage, may range from 10000 to 50000 yuan per month, or approximately 120000 to 600000 yuan per year.
· Equipment maintenance fee: Regular maintenance, repair, and replacement of equipment may cost 50000 to 150000 yuan per year.
