ITEM 2.02. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

On March 8, 2011, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing its results for the fourth fiscal quarter and year ended January 29, 2011 and certain other information that is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.

ITEM 7.01 REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE

The Company is furnishing the following information:

Beginning in fiscal 2011, the Company is revising its method for determining its same store sales calculations. Same store sales measure the growth in sales for the same store location for a particular period from the corresponding period in the prior year.

Prior to fiscal 2011, store locations were excluded from the full year or the quarterly same store sales calculation until the beginning of the fiscal year or quarterly period, as applicable, subsequent to the location commencing its 14^th full month of operations following its grand opening or relocation. Beginning in fiscal 2011, a store location will be included in the same store sales calculation in the same fiscal period that it commences its 14^th full month of operations. The Company believes this change will better conform its calculation of same store sales to retail industry practice.

The table being furnished and included herewith as Exhibit 99.2 presents quarterly and full year same store sales results for fiscal 2010 calculated in the same manner as same store sales will be calculated beginning in fiscal 2011. The table will be made available on the investor relations section of the Company’s website at www.dickssportinggoods.com/investors and such figures will be reflected as the Company’s historical same store sales results in the future.
