Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Operations – Dick's Sporting Goods, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, referred to as "the Company", "we", "us" and "our" unless specified otherwise) is a leading omni-channel sporting goods retailer offering an extensive assortment of authentic, high-quality sports equipment, apparel, footwear and accessories through a blend of dedicated associates, in-store services and unique specialty shop-in-shops. The Company also owns and operates Golf Galaxy, Field & Stream and other specialty concept stores, and Dick's Team Sports HQ. The Company offers its products through a content-rich eCommerce platform that is integrated with its store network and provides customers with the convenience and expertise of a 24-hour storefront. Fiscal Year – The Company's fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to the end of January. Fiscal years 2016 , 2015 and 2014 ended on January 28, 2017 , January 30, 2016 and January 31, 2015 , respectively. Principles of Consolidation – The Consolidated Financial Statements include Dick's Sporting Goods, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Cash and Cash Equivalents – Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase. Cash equivalents are considered Level 1 investments and totaled $81.6 million and $35.2 million at January 28, 2017 and January 30, 2016 , respectively. Cash Management – The Company's cash management system provides for the reimbursement of all major bank disbursement accounts on a daily basis. Accounts payable at January 28, 2017 and January 30, 2016 include $152.5 million and $135.1 million , respectively, of checks drawn in excess of cash balances not yet presented for payment. Accounts Receivable – Accounts receivable consist principally of amounts receivable from vendors and landlords. The allowance for doubtful accounts totaled $3.2 million and $2.7 million as of January 28, 2017 and January 30, 2016 respectively. Inventories – Inventories are stated at the lower of weighted average cost or market. Inventory costs consist of the direct cost of merchandise including freight. Inventories are net of shrinkage, obsolescence, other valuation accounts and vendor allowances totaling $176.4 million and $113.5 million at January 28, 2017 and January 30, 2016 , respectively. Property and Equipment – Property and equipment are recorded at cost and include capitalized leases. For financial reporting purposes, depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives: Buildings 40 years Leasehold improvements 10-25 years Furniture, fixtures and equipment 3-7 years Computer software 3-10 years For leasehold improvements and property and equipment under capital lease agreements, depreciation and amortization are calculated using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the assets or the lease term. Leasehold improvements made significantly after the initial lease term are depreciated over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the remaining lease term, including renewal periods, if reasonably assured. Depreciation expense was $203.1 million , $178.9 million and $159.1 million for fiscal 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , respectively. Renewals and betterments are capitalized and repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Closed Store Reserves – The Company evaluates its long-lived assets to assess whether the carrying values have been impaired whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of these assets may not be recoverable based on estimated undiscounted future cash flows. An impairment loss is recognized when the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset plus eventual net proceeds expected from disposition of the asset (if any) are less than the carrying value of the asset. When an impairment loss is recognized, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its estimated fair value as determined based on quoted market prices or through the use of other valuation techniques. The related expense is recorded within selling, general and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company recognizes a liability for costs associated with closed or relocated premises when the Company ceases to use the location. The calculation of accrued lease termination and other costs primarily includes future minimum lease payments, maintenance costs and taxes from the date of closure or relocation to the end of the remaining lease term, net of contractual or estimated sublease income. The liability is discounted using a credit-adjusted risk-free rate of interest. The assumptions used in the calculation of the accrued lease termination and other costs are evaluated on a quarterly basis. The current portion of accrued store closing and relocation reserves is included within accrued expenses and the non-current portion is included within long-term deferred revenue and other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The related expense is recorded within selling, general and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Income. Goodwill – Goodwill represents the excess of acquisition cost over the fair value of the net assets of acquired entities. The Company assesses the carrying value of goodwill annually or whenever circumstances indicate that a decline in value may have occurred. The goodwill impairment test is a two-step impairment test. In the first step, the Company compares the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value. The Company determines the fair value of its reporting units using a combination of a discounted cash flow and a market value approach. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of the net assets assigned to that reporting unit, goodwill is not impaired and the Company is not required to perform further testing. If the carrying value of the net assets assigned to the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, then the Company must perform the second step in order to determine the implied fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill and compare it to the carrying value of the reporting unit's goodwill. If the carrying value of goodwill exceeds the implied estimated fair value, an impairment charge to selling, general and administrative expenses is recorded to reduce the carrying value to the implied estimated fair value. A reporting unit is the operating segment, or a business unit one level below that operating segment, for which discrete financial information is prepared and regularly reviewed by management. Intangible Assets – Intangible assets consist primarily of trademarks and acquired trade names with indefinite lives, which are tested for impairment annually or whenever circumstances indicate that a decline in value may have occurred. The Company estimates the fair value of these intangible assets based on an income approach using the relief-from-royalty method. The Company's finite-lived intangible assets consist primarily of customer lists, favorable lease assets and other acquisition related assets. Finite-lived intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful economic lives and are reviewed for impairment when factors indicate that an impairment may have occurred. The Company recognizes an impairment charge when the estimated fair value of the intangible asset is less than the carrying value. Self-Insurance – The Company is self-insured for certain losses related to health, workers' compensation and general liability insurance, although we maintain stop-loss coverage with third party insurers to limit our liability exposure. Liabilities associated with these losses are estimated in part by considering historical claims experience, industry factors, severity factors and other actuarial assumptions. Pre-opening Expenses – Pre-opening expenses, which consist primarily of rent, marketing, payroll and recruiting costs, are expensed as incurred. Rent is recognized within pre-opening expense from the date the Company takes possession of a site through the date of store opening. Earnings Per Common Share – Basic earnings per common share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock, plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period, using the treasury stock method. Dilutive potential common shares include outstanding stock options, restricted stock and warrants. Stock-Based Compensation – The Company has the ability to grant restricted shares of common stock, restricted stock units and stock options to purchase common stock under the Dick's Sporting Goods, Inc. 2012 Stock and Incentive Plan. The Company records stock-based compensation expenses based on the fair value of stock awards at the grant date and recognizes the expense over the related service period. Income Taxes – The Company utilizes the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes and provides deferred income taxes for temporary differences between the amounts reported for assets and liabilities for financial statement purposes and for income tax reporting purposes, using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the relevant taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the Consolidated Financial Statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that will more likely than not be realized upon ultimate settlement. Interest and penalties from income tax matters are recognized in income tax expense. Revenue Recognition – Revenue from retail sales is recognized at the point of sale, net of sales tax. Revenue from eCommerce sales is recognized upon shipment of merchandise. Service-related revenue is recognized as the services are performed. A provision for anticipated merchandise returns is provided through a reduction of sales and cost of goods sold in the period that the related sales are recorded. Revenue from gift cards and returned merchandise credits (collectively the "cards") is deferred and recognized upon the redemption of the cards. These cards have no expiration date. Income from unredeemed cards is recognized on the Consolidated Statements of Income within selling, general and administrative expenses at the point at which redemption becomes remote. The Company performs an evaluation of the aging of the unredeemed cards, based on the elapsed time from the date of original issuance, to determine when redemption becomes remote. Cost of Goods Sold – Cost of goods sold includes: the cost of merchandise (inclusive of vendor allowances, inventory shrinkage and inventory write-downs for the lower of cost or market); freight; distribution; shipping; and store occupancy costs. The Company defines merchandise margin as net sales less the cost of merchandise sold. Store occupancy costs include rent, common area maintenance charges, real estate and other asset-based taxes, general maintenance, utilities, depreciation, fixture lease expenses and certain insurance expenses. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses – Selling, general and administrative expenses include store and field support payroll and fringe benefits, advertising, bank card charges, information systems, marketing, legal, accounting, other store expenses and all expenses associated with operating the Company's corporate headquarters. Advertising Costs – Production costs of advertising and the costs to run the advertisements are expensed the first time the advertisement takes place. Advertising expense, net of cooperative advertising, was $304.9 million , $276.3 million and $248.7 million for fiscal 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , respectively. Vendor Allowances – Vendor allowances include allowances, rebates and cooperative advertising funds received from vendors. These funds are determined for each fiscal year and the majority are based on various quantitative contract terms. Amounts expected to be received from vendors for the purchase of merchandise inventories are recognized as a reduction of cost of goods sold as the merchandise is sold. Amounts that represent a reimbursement of costs incurred, such as advertising, are recorded as a reduction to the related expense in the period that the related expense is incurred. The Company records an estimate of earned allowances based on the latest projected purchase volumes and advertising forecasts. Segment Information – The Company is a specialty omni-channel retailer that offers a broad range of products in its specialty retail stores primarily in the eastern United States. Given the economic characteristics of the store formats, the similar nature of the products sold, the type of customer and method of distribution, the Company's operating segments are aggregated within one reportable segment. The following table sets forth the approximate amount of net sales attributable to hardlines, apparel and footwear for the periods presented (in millions): Fiscal Year 2016 2015 2014 Hardlines $ 3,574 $ 3,264 $ 2,992 Apparel 2,756 2,553 2,461 Footwear 1,529 1,403 1,316 Other 63 51 45 Total net sales $ 7,922 $ 7,271 $ 6,814 Construction Allowances – All of the Company's store locations are leased. The Company may receive reimbursement from a landlord for some of the cost of the structure, subject to satisfactory fulfillment of applicable lease provisions. These reimbursements may be referred to as tenant allowances, construction allowances or landlord reimbursements ("construction allowances"). The Company's accounting for construction allowances differs if the Company is deemed to be the owner of the asset during the construction period. Some of the Company's leases have a cap on the construction allowance, which places the Company at risk for cost overruns and causes the Company to be deemed the owner during the construction period. In cases where the Company is deemed to be the owner during the construction period, a sale and leaseback of the asset occurs when construction of the asset is complete and the lease term begins, if relevant sale-leaseback accounting criteria are met. Any gain or loss from the transaction is included within deferred revenue and other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and deferred and amortized as rent expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. The Company reports the amount of cash received for the construction allowance as construction allowance receipts within the financing activities section of its Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows when such allowances are received prior to completion of the sale-leaseback transaction. The Company reports the amount of cash received from construction allowances as proceeds from sale leaseback transactions within the investing activities section of its Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows when such amounts are received after the sale-leaseback accounting criteria have been achieved. In instances where the Company is not deemed to be the owner during the construction period, reimbursement from a landlord for tenant improvements is classified as an incentive and included within deferred revenue and other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The deferred rent credit is amortized as rent expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Landlord reimbursements from these transactions are included in cash flows from operating activities as a change in deferred construction allowances. Leases – Escalating rent payments, rent abatements and rent holidays are considered in the calculation of minimum lease payments in the Company's capital lease tests and in determining straight-line rent expense for operating leases. The Company records any difference between the straight-line rent amount and amounts payable under the lease as part of deferred rent within long-term deferred revenue and other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Contingent payments based upon sales and future increases determined by inflation related indices cannot be estimated at the inception of the lease and accordingly, are charged to operations as incurred. The Company records contingent rent within accrued expenses on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Intangibles - Goodwill and Other In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2017-04, " Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test of Goodwill Impairment ". This update modifies the concept of impairment and simplifies how an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. ASU 2017-04 is effective for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests during fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early application is permitted and prospective application is required. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this guidance will have a significant impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements. Income Taxes In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, " Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory ". This update requires the income tax consequences of intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory to be recognized when the intra-entity transfer occurs rather than deferring recognition of income tax consequences until the transfer was made with an outside party. ASU 2016-16 is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods therein, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early application is permitted as of the beginning of the interim or annual reporting period. A modified retrospective approach should be applied. The Company plans to adopt ASU 2016-16 during the first quarter of fiscal 2017. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this guidance will have a significant impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements. Statement of Cash Flows In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, " Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force) ". This update addresses eight specific cash flow topics with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice for certain aspects under Topic 230. ASU 2016-15 is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods therein, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early application is permitted as of the beginning of the interim or annual reporting period. If early adopted, an entity must adopt all of the amendments during the same period. The Company plans to adopt ASU 2016-15 during the first quarter of fiscal 2017. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this guidance will have a significant impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements. Stock Compensation In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, " Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting ". This update simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities and classification on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods therein, beginning after December 15, 2016, with early application permitted. If early adopted, an entity must adopt all of the amendments during the same period. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this guidance will have a significant impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements, however, the Company's effective income tax rate will be impacted by the volume of share-based award activity during each reporting period. Leases In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, " Leases (Topic 842) ". This update requires an entity to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and to disclose key information about the entity's leasing arrangements. ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods therein, beginning after December 15, 2018, with early application permitted. A modified retrospective approach is required. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-02 on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements but anticipates that it will result in significant right of use assets and related liabilities as all of the Company's retail locations and the majority of our supply chain facilities are categorized as operating leases. Measurement of Inventory In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, " Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory ". This update requires an entity that determines the cost of inventory by methods other than last-in, first-out (LIFO) and the retail inventory method (RIM) to measure inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. ASU 2015-11 is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods therein, beginning after December 15, 2016. Prospective application is required. Early application is permitted as of the beginning of the interim or annual reporting period. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this guidance will have a significant impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements. Contracts with Customers In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, " Revenue from Contracts with Customers ". This update requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Additionally, the update (1) specifies the accounting for some costs to obtain or fulfill a contract with a customer and (2) expands disclosure requirements for revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. In August 2015, the FASB subsequently issued ASU 2015-14, " Revenue from Contracts with Customers - Deferral of the Effective Date ", which approved a one year deferral of ASU 2014-09 for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. In March 2016, April 2016, and December 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, " Revenue from Contracts with Customers - Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net) ", ASU 2016-10, " Revenue from Contracts with Customers - Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing ", and ASU 2016-20, " Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers" , respectively, which further clarify the guidance for those specific topics within ASU 2014-09. In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12, " Revenue from Contracts with Customers - Narrow Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients ", to reduce the risk of diversity in practice for certain aspects in ASU 2014-09, including collectibility, noncash consideration, presentation of sales tax and transition. These updates permit the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. Early application is permitted as of the original effective date for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. These ASU's will most likely change the way the Company accounts for sales returns, our customer loyalty program, gift card breakage and certain other promotional programs. Based on current estimates, we do not expect these provisions of the ASU to have a material impact on our financial statements. The Company is continuing to evaluate which transition approach it will utilize and the impact these standards will have on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements upon adoption.

Stock-Based Compensation and Employee Stock Plans	Stock-Based Compensation and Employee Stock Plans The Company has the ability to grant restricted shares of common stock, restricted stock units and options to purchase common stock under the Dick's Sporting Goods, Inc. 2012 Stock and Incentive Plan (the "Plan"). As of January 28, 2017 , shares of common stock available for future issuance pursuant to the Plan were 8,247,527 shares. The following represents total stock-based compensation recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income for the fiscal years presented (in thousands): 2016 2015 2014 Stock option expense $ 9,506 $ 8,211 $ 7,903 Restricted stock expense 24,096 21,077 18,372 Total stock-based compensation expense $ 33,602 $ 29,288 $ 26,275 Total related tax benefit $ 11,718 $ 10,290 $ 9,200 Stock Option Plans – Stock options are generally granted on an annual basis, vest 25% per year over four years and have a seven -year maximum term. The fair value of each stock option granted is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes ("Black-Scholes") option valuation model. The assumptions used to calculate the fair value of options granted are evaluated and revised, as necessary, to reflect market conditions and the Company's experience. These options are expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, which is considered to be the requisite service period. Compensation expense is recognized only for those options expected to vest, with forfeitures estimated at the date of grant based on the Company's historical experience and future expectations. The fair value of stock-based awards to employees is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes valuation with the following assumptions: Employee Stock Option Plans Black-Scholes Valuation Assumptions 2016 2015 2014 Expected life (years) (1) 5.40 5.41 5.23 Expected volatility (2) 29.20% - 31.93% 30.38% - 42.07% 31.97% - 44.48% Weighted average volatility 31.01 % 32.67 % 36.28 % Risk-free interest rate (3) 1.07% - 1.90% 1.28% - 1.74% 1.44% - 2.39% Expected dividend yield 1.03% - 1.59% 0.98% - 1.12% 0.90% - 1.13% Weighted average grant date fair value $ 12.56 $ 16.28 $ 17.31 (1) The expected term of the options represents the estimated period of time until exercise and is based on historical experience of similar awards giving consideration to the contractual terms, vesting schedules and expectations of future employee behavior. (2) Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company's common stock over a timeframe consistent with the expected life of the stock options. (3) The risk-free interest rate is based on the implied yield available on U.S. Treasury constant maturity interest rates whose term is consistent with the expected life of the stock options. The assumptions used to calculate the fair value of options granted are evaluated and revised, as necessary, to reflect market conditions and experience. The stock option activity from February 1, 2014 through January 28, 2017 is presented in the following table: Shares Subject to Options Weighted Average Exercise Price per Share Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life (Years) Aggregate Intrinsic Value (in thousands) Outstanding, February 1, 2014 4,954,047 $ 28.55 3.19 $ 118,784 Granted 559,722 53.78 Exercised (1,175,540 ) 22.22 Forfeited / Expired (256,931 ) 44.42 Outstanding, January 31, 2015 4,081,298 $ 32.83 3.00 $ 78,432 Granted 812,482 56.97 Exercised (773,773 ) 26.64 Forfeited / Expired (145,495 ) 51.38 Outstanding, January 30, 2016 3,974,512 $ 38.29 2.94 $ 51,930 Granted 1,143,326 47.79 Exercised (1,348,241 ) 22.28 Forfeited / Expired (208,512 ) 50.01 Outstanding, January 28, 2017 3,561,085 $ 46.71 3.88 $ 22,638 Exercisable, January 28, 2017 1,681,131 $ 41.77 2.09 $ 17,875 Vested and expected to vest, January 28, 2017 3,346,290 $ 46.45 3.76 $ 22,061 The aggregate intrinsic value reported in the table above is based on the Company's closing stock prices for the last business day of the period indicated.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	Fair Value Measurements ASC 820, " Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures ", outlines a valuation framework and creates a fair value hierarchy for assets and liabilities as follows: Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2: Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions. Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of January 28, 2017 and January 30, 2016 are set forth in the table below: Level 1 Description January 28, 2017 January 30, 2016 Assets: Deferred compensation plan assets held in trust (1) $ 64,512 $ 53,040 Total assets $ 64,512 $ 53,040 (1) Consists of investments in various mutual funds made by eligible individuals as part of the Company's deferred compensation plans (See Note 13). The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and certain other liabilities approximated book value due to the short-term nature of these instruments at both January 28, 2017 and January 30, 2016 . The Company uses quoted prices in active markets to determine the fair value of the aforementioned assets determined to be Level 1 instruments. The Company's policy for recognition of transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy is to recognize any transfer at the end of the fiscal quarter in which the determination to transfer was made. The Company did not transfer any assets or liabilities among the levels of the fair value hierarchy during the fiscal years ended January 28, 2017 and January 30, 2016 . Additionally, the Company did not hold any Level 2 or Level 3 assets or liabilities during fiscal 2016 and fiscal 2015 .

Summary of Significant Accounti

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	12 Months Ended

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Fiscal Year	Fiscal Year – The Company's fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to the end of January. Fiscal years 2016 , 2015 and 2014 ended on January 28, 2017 , January 30, 2016 and January 31, 2015 , respectively.
Principles of Consolidation	Principles of Consolidation – The Consolidated Financial Statements include Dick's Sporting Goods, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements	Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents / Cash Management	Cash and Cash Equivalents – Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase. Cash equivalents are considered Level 1 investments and totaled $81.6 million and $35.2 million at January 28, 2017 and January 30, 2016 , respectively. Cash Management – The Company's cash management system provides for the reimbursement of all major bank disbursement accounts on a daily basis. Accounts payable at January 28, 2017 and January 30, 2016 include $152.5 million and $135.1 million , respectively, of checks drawn in excess of cash balances not yet presented for payment.
Accounts Receivable	Accounts Receivable – Accounts receivable consist principally of amounts receivable from vendors and landlords. The allowance for doubtful accounts totaled $3.2 million and $2.7 million as of January 28, 2017 and January 30, 2016 respectively.
Inventories	Inventories – Inventories are stated at the lower of weighted average cost or market. Inventory costs consist of the direct cost of merchandise including freight. Inventories are net of shrinkage, obsolescence, other valuation accounts and vendor allowances totaling $176.4 million and $113.5 million at January 28, 2017 and January 30, 2016 , respectively.
Property and Equipment	Property and Equipment – Property and equipment are recorded at cost and include capitalized leases. For financial reporting purposes, depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives: Buildings 40 years Leasehold improvements 10-25 years Furniture, fixtures and equipment 3-7 years Computer software 3-10 years For leasehold improvements and property and equipment under capital lease agreements, depreciation and amortization are calculated using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the assets or the lease term. Leasehold improvements made significantly after the initial lease term are depreciated over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the remaining lease term, including renewal periods, if reasonably assured. Depreciation expense was $203.1 million , $178.9 million and $159.1 million for fiscal 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , respectively. Renewals and betterments are capitalized and repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Closed Store Reserves	Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Closed Store Reserves – The Company evaluates its long-lived assets to assess whether the carrying values have been impaired whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of these assets may not be recoverable based on estimated undiscounted future cash flows. An impairment loss is recognized when the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset plus eventual net proceeds expected from disposition of the asset (if any) are less than the carrying value of the asset. When an impairment loss is recognized, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its estimated fair value as determined based on quoted market prices or through the use of other valuation techniques. The related expense is recorded within selling, general and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company recognizes a liability for costs associated with closed or relocated premises when the Company ceases to use the location. The calculation of accrued lease termination and other costs primarily includes future minimum lease payments, maintenance costs and taxes from the date of closure or relocation to the end of the remaining lease term, net of contractual or estimated sublease income. The liability is discounted using a credit-adjusted risk-free rate of interest. The assumptions used in the calculation of the accrued lease termination and other costs are evaluated on a quarterly basis. The current portion of accrued store closing and relocation reserves is included within accrued expenses and the non-current portion is included within long-term deferred revenue and other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The related expense is recorded within selling, general and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Income.
Goodwill	Goodwill – Goodwill represents the excess of acquisition cost over the fair value of the net assets of acquired entities. The Company assesses the carrying value of goodwill annually or whenever circumstances indicate that a decline in value may have occurred. The goodwill impairment test is a two-step impairment test. In the first step, the Company compares the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value. The Company determines the fair value of its reporting units using a combination of a discounted cash flow and a market value approach. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of the net assets assigned to that reporting unit, goodwill is not impaired and the Company is not required to perform further testing. If the carrying value of the net assets assigned to the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, then the Company must perform the second step in order to determine the implied fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill and compare it to the carrying value of the reporting unit's goodwill. If the carrying value of goodwill exceeds the implied estimated fair value, an impairment charge to selling, general and administrative expenses is recorded to reduce the carrying value to the implied estimated fair value. A reporting unit is the operating segment, or a business unit one level below that operating segment, for which discrete financial information is prepared and regularly reviewed by management.
Intangible Assets	Intangible Assets – Intangible assets consist primarily of trademarks and acquired trade names with indefinite lives, which are tested for impairment annually or whenever circumstances indicate that a decline in value may have occurred. The Company estimates the fair value of these intangible assets based on an income approach using the relief-from-royalty method. The Company's finite-lived intangible assets consist primarily of customer lists, favorable lease assets and other acquisition related assets. Finite-lived intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful economic lives and are reviewed for impairment when factors indicate that an impairment may have occurred. The Company recognizes an impairment charge when the estimated fair value of the intangible asset is less than the carrying value.
Self-Insurance	Self-Insurance – The Company is self-insured for certain losses related to health, workers' compensation and general liability insurance, although we maintain stop-loss coverage with third party insurers to limit our liability exposure. Liabilities associated with these losses are estimated in part by considering historical claims experience, industry factors, severity factors and other actuarial assumptions.
Pre-opening Expenses	Pre-opening Expenses – Pre-opening expenses, which consist primarily of rent, marketing, payroll and recruiting costs, are expensed as incurred. Rent is recognized within pre-opening expense from the date the Company takes possession of a site through the date of store opening.
Earnings Per Common Share	Earnings Per Common Share – Basic earnings per common share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock, plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period, using the treasury stock method. Dilutive potential common shares include outstanding stock options, restricted stock and warrants.
Stock-Based Compensation	Stock-Based Compensation – The Company has the ability to grant restricted shares of common stock, restricted stock units and stock options to purchase common stock under the Dick's Sporting Goods, Inc. 2012 Stock and Incentive Plan. The Company records stock-based compensation expenses based on the fair value of stock awards at the grant date and recognizes the expense over the related service period.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes – The Company utilizes the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes and provides deferred income taxes for temporary differences between the amounts reported for assets and liabilities for financial statement purposes and for income tax reporting purposes, using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the relevant taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the Consolidated Financial Statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that will more likely than not be realized upon ultimate settlement. Interest and penalties from income tax matters are recognized in income tax expense.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition – Revenue from retail sales is recognized at the point of sale, net of sales tax. Revenue from eCommerce sales is recognized upon shipment of merchandise. Service-related revenue is recognized as the services are performed. A provision for anticipated merchandise returns is provided through a reduction of sales and cost of goods sold in the period that the related sales are recorded. Revenue from gift cards and returned merchandise credits (collectively the "cards") is deferred and recognized upon the redemption of the cards. These cards have no expiration date. Income from unredeemed cards is recognized on the Consolidated Statements of Income within selling, general and administrative expenses at the point at which redemption becomes remote. The Company performs an evaluation of the aging of the unredeemed cards, based on the elapsed time from the date of original issuance, to determine when redemption becomes remote.
Cost of Goods Sold	Cost of Goods Sold – Cost of goods sold includes: the cost of merchandise (inclusive of vendor allowances, inventory shrinkage and inventory write-downs for the lower of cost or market); freight; distribution; shipping; and store occupancy costs. The Company defines merchandise margin as net sales less the cost of merchandise sold. Store occupancy costs include rent, common area maintenance charges, real estate and other asset-based taxes, general maintenance, utilities, depreciation, fixture lease expenses and certain insurance expenses.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses	Selling, General and Administrative Expenses – Selling, general and administrative expenses include store and field support payroll and fringe benefits, advertising, bank card charges, information systems, marketing, legal, accounting, other store expenses and all expenses associated with operating the Company's corporate headquarters.
Advertising Costs	Advertising Costs – Production costs of advertising and the costs to run the advertisements are expensed the first time the advertisement takes place. Advertising expense, net of cooperative advertising, was $304.9 million , $276.3 million and $248.7 million for fiscal 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , respectively.
Vendor Allowances	Vendor Allowances – Vendor allowances include allowances, rebates and cooperative advertising funds received from vendors. These funds are determined for each fiscal year and the majority are based on various quantitative contract terms. Amounts expected to be received from vendors for the purchase of merchandise inventories are recognized as a reduction of cost of goods sold as the merchandise is sold. Amounts that represent a reimbursement of costs incurred, such as advertising, are recorded as a reduction to the related expense in the period that the related expense is incurred. The Company records an estimate of earned allowances based on the latest projected purchase volumes and advertising forecasts.
Segment Information	Segment Information – The Company is a specialty omni-channel retailer that offers a broad range of products in its specialty retail stores primarily in the eastern United States. Given the economic characteristics of the store formats, the similar nature of the products sold, the type of customer and method of distribution, the Company's operating segments are aggregated within one reportable segment. The following table sets forth the approximate amount of net sales attributable to hardlines, apparel and footwear for the periods presented (in millions): Fiscal Year 2016 2015 2014 Hardlines $ 3,574 $ 3,264 $ 2,992 Apparel 2,756 2,553 2,461 Footwear 1,529 1,403 1,316 Other 63 51 45 Total net sales $ 7,922 $ 7,271 $ 6,814
Construction Allowances	Construction Allowances – All of the Company's store locations are leased. The Company may receive reimbursement from a landlord for some of the cost of the structure, subject to satisfactory fulfillment of applicable lease provisions. These reimbursements may be referred to as tenant allowances, construction allowances or landlord reimbursements ("construction allowances"). The Company's accounting for construction allowances differs if the Company is deemed to be the owner of the asset during the construction period. Some of the Company's leases have a cap on the construction allowance, which places the Company at risk for cost overruns and causes the Company to be deemed the owner during the construction period. In cases where the Company is deemed to be the owner during the construction period, a sale and leaseback of the asset occurs when construction of the asset is complete and the lease term begins, if relevant sale-leaseback accounting criteria are met. Any gain or loss from the transaction is included within deferred revenue and other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and deferred and amortized as rent expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. The Company reports the amount of cash received for the construction allowance as construction allowance receipts within the financing activities section of its Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows when such allowances are received prior to completion of the sale-leaseback transaction. The Company reports the amount of cash received from construction allowances as proceeds from sale leaseback transactions within the investing activities section of its Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows when such amounts are received after the sale-leaseback accounting criteria have been achieved. In instances where the Company is not deemed to be the owner during the construction period, reimbursement from a landlord for tenant improvements is classified as an incentive and included within deferred revenue and other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The deferred rent credit is amortized as rent expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Landlord reimbursements from these transactions are included in cash flows from operating activities as a change in deferred construction allowances.
Leases	Leases – Escalating rent payments, rent abatements and rent holidays are considered in the calculation of minimum lease payments in the Company's capital lease tests and in determining straight-line rent expense for operating leases. The Company records any difference between the straight-line rent amount and amounts payable under the lease as part of deferred rent within long-term deferred revenue and other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Contingent payments based upon sales and future increases determined by inflation related indices cannot be estimated at the inception of the lease and accordingly, are charged to operations as incurred. The Company records contingent rent within accrued expenses on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements	Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Intangibles - Goodwill and Other In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2017-04, " Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test of Goodwill Impairment ". This update modifies the concept of impairment and simplifies how an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. ASU 2017-04 is effective for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests during fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early application is permitted and prospective application is required. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this guidance will have a significant impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements. Income Taxes In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, " Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory ". This update requires the income tax consequences of intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory to be recognized when the intra-entity transfer occurs rather than deferring recognition of income tax consequences until the transfer was made with an outside party. ASU 2016-16 is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods therein, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early application is permitted as of the beginning of the interim or annual reporting period. A modified retrospective approach should be applied. The Company plans to adopt ASU 2016-16 during the first quarter of fiscal 2017. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this guidance will have a significant impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements. Statement of Cash Flows In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, " Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force) ". This update addresses eight specific cash flow topics with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice for certain aspects under Topic 230. ASU 2016-15 is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods therein, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early application is permitted as of the beginning of the interim or annual reporting period. If early adopted, an entity must adopt all of the amendments during the same period. The Company plans to adopt ASU 2016-15 during the first quarter of fiscal 2017. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this guidance will have a significant impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements. Stock Compensation In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, " Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting ". This update simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities and classification on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods therein, beginning after December 15, 2016, with early application permitted. If early adopted, an entity must adopt all of the amendments during the same period. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this guidance will have a significant impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements, however, the Company's effective income tax rate will be impacted by the volume of share-based award activity during each reporting period. Leases In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, " Leases (Topic 842) ". This update requires an entity to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and to disclose key information about the entity's leasing arrangements. ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods therein, beginning after December 15, 2018, with early application permitted. A modified retrospective approach is required. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-02 on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements but anticipates that it will result in significant right of use assets and related liabilities as all of the Company's retail locations and the majority of our supply chain facilities are categorized as operating leases. Measurement of Inventory In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, " Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory ". This update requires an entity that determines the cost of inventory by methods other than last-in, first-out (LIFO) and the retail inventory method (RIM) to measure inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. ASU 2015-11 is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods therein, beginning after December 15, 2016. Prospective application is required. Early application is permitted as of the beginning of the interim or annual reporting period. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this guidance will have a significant impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements. Contracts with Customers In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, " Revenue from Contracts with Customers ". This update requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Additionally, the update (1) specifies the accounting for some costs to obtain or fulfill a contract with a customer and (2) expands disclosure requirements for revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. In August 2015, the FASB subsequently issued ASU 2015-14, " Revenue from Contracts with Customers - Deferral of the Effective Date ", which approved a one year deferral of ASU 2014-09 for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. In March 2016, April 2016, and December 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, " Revenue from Contracts with Customers - Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net) ", ASU 2016-10, " Revenue from Contracts with Customers - Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing ", and ASU 2016-20, " Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers" , respectively, which further clarify the guidance for those specific topics within ASU 2014-09. In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12, " Revenue from Contracts with Customers - Narrow Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients ", to reduce the risk of diversity in practice for certain aspects in ASU 2014-09, including collectibility, noncash consideration, presentation of sales tax and transition. These updates permit the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. Early application is permitted as of the original effective date for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. These ASU's will most likely change the way the Company accounts for sales returns, our customer loyalty program, gift card breakage and certain other promotional programs. Based on current estimates, we do not expect these provisions of the ASU to have a material impact on our financial statements. The Company is continuing to evaluate which transition approach it will utilize and the impact these standards will have on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements upon adoption.
