For a better campus sporting experience: Scale development and validation of the collegiate sportscape scale

A collegiate sportscape scale is developed to measure the elements contributing to students' sport-related experiences on campus. The results revealed a 14-item scale. Specifically, the collegiate sportscape scale consists of four factors: sport and physical education classes (4 items), sport facilities (4 items), varsity teams (3 items), and intramural sports (3 items). The scale was found to be a valid and reliable measure to assess students' sport-related experience on campus. Furthermore, collegiate sportscape positively influenced students' loyalty toward the university both directly and indirectly through satisfaction. This scale can be useful for administrators to better understand students' experience on campus.
