The specific research direction and framework of this research are also included.Based on the empirical investigation of the football fans in Liaoning, using structural equation modeling technology, the structure model of the impact mechanism of the event identification on the consumption behavior of fans is completed, and the empirical test and discussion. Firstly, it is proved that the measurement system has some scientific nature, and it is a relatively simple and fitting model to further verify the impact of the event identification on the consumption behavior of fans.
