  • An Analysis of the American Outdoor Sport Facility: Developing an Ideal Type on the Evolution of Professional Baseball and Football Structures
    AN ANALYSIS OF THE AMERICAN OUTDOOR SPORT FACILITY: DEVELOPING AN IDEAL TYPE ON THE EVOLUTION OF PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL AND FOOTBALL STRUCTURES DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Chad S. Seifried, B.S., M.Ed. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2005 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Donna Pastore, Advisor Professor Melvin Adelman _________________________________ Professor Janet Fink Advisor College of Education Copyright by Chad Seifried 2005 ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to analyze the physical layout of the American baseball and football professional sport facility from 1850 to present and design an ideal-type appropriate for its evolution. Specifically, this study attempts to establish a logical expansion and adaptation of Bale’s Four-Stage Ideal-type on the Evolution of the Modern English Soccer Stadium appropriate for the history of professional baseball and football and that predicts future changes in American sport facilities. In essence, it is the author’s intention to provide a more coherent and comprehensive account of the evolving professional baseball and football sport facility and where it appears to be headed. This investigation concludes eight stages exist concerning the evolution of the professional baseball and football sport facility. Stages one through four primarily appeared before the beginning of the 20th century and existed as temporary structures which were small and cheaply built. Stages five and six materialize as the first permanent professional baseball and football facilities. Stage seven surfaces as a multi-purpose facility which attempted to accommodate both professional football and baseball equally.

    I ¡Qt>. 565 MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL PRINCIPAL PLAY-BY-PLAY ANNOUNCERS: THEIR OCCUPATION, BACKGROUND, AND PERSONAL LIFE Michael R. Emrick A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate School of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY June 1976 Approved by Doctoral Committee DUm,s¡ir<y »»itti». UNIVERSITY LIBRARY 11 ABSTRACT From the very early days of radio broadcasting, the descriptions of major league baseball games have been among the more popular types of programs. The relationship between the ball clubs and broadcast stations has developed through experimentation, skepticism, and eventual acceptance. The broadcasts have become financially important to the teams as well as the advertisers and stations. The central person responsible for pleasing the fans as well as satisfying the economic goals of the stations, advertisers, and teams—the principal play- by-play announcer—had not been the subject of intensive study. Contentions were made in the available literature about his objectivity, partiality, and the influence exerted on his description of the games by outside parties. To test these contentions, and to learn more about the overall atmosphere in which this focal person worked, a study was conducted of principal play-by-play announcers who broadcasted games on a day-to-day basis, covering one team for a local audience. With the assistance of some of the announcers, a survey was prepared and distributed to both announcers who were employed in the play-by-play capacity during the 1975 season and those who had been involved in the occupation in past seasons.

  • Lsu Tiger Stadium
    CASE STUDY LSU TIGER STADIUM Owner: Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, LA Project Engineer/Designer: Engensus, LLC, Baton Rouge, LA Repair Contractor: Python Corporation, Lacombe, LA Material Supplier/Manufacturer: Sika Corporation US, Lyndhurst, NJ ICRI Award Winner Award of Merit Special Projects Category The Louisiana State University “Bengal Tigers” are one of the most successful college football programs today boasting 3 NCAA national champi- onships and 14 conference championships. Located on LSU campus in Baton Rouge along the Mississippi River, Tiger Stadium is an iconic struc- ture. It is known as “Death Valley” for being one of the loudest and most difficult stadiums for opposing teams to play. Construction of this historic stadium began in the early 1920’s and opened with a capacity of 24,000. Now Tiger Stadium has increased its capacity to hosting 92,000 die-hard fans. On game day Tiger Stadium becomes the 6th largest city in the State of Louisiana. The north end zone, constructed in 1936, was experiencing concrete deterioration on the outer surface due to insufficient concrete cover on the reinforcing bars and cracks that had developed around the new windows installed prior to the façade restoration adding some complications. The façade had minor spot repairs of spalls and surface cracks and was littered with abandoned anchor bolt holes. LSU wanted to restore this façade while maintaining the historic look. The original stadium was formed with 2” x 6” horizontal planks, which are visible between the planks in the concrete. It was critical to restore the finish and maintain the formed planks look.

  • La Veterinaire 2016 the News Magazine of the Louisiana State University School of Veterinary Medicine LETTER from OUR DEAN
    La Veterinaire 2016 The News Magazine of the Louisiana State University School of Veterinary Medicine LETTER FROM OUR DEAN When I first came to LSU from Cornell, I was aware that LSU had a live mascot but not how important he is the LSU community. I quickly learned that, for Tiger fans, Mike the Tiger embodies the spirit of LSU. This was never more apparent than when Mike VI was diagnosed with spindle cell sarcoma in May 2016. I am so proud of the faculty and staff who worked together to examine and diagnose Mike VI under the direction of Dr. David Baker, Mike’s veterinarian and the director of our Division of Laboratory Medicine. Dr. Baker took over the care of Mike V in 1996 and selected Mike VI in 2007. Mike VI’s diagnosis was just the first step. The next was to determine if Mike could be treated, and, if so, how and where. Dr. Baker consulted with veterinary specialists both within and outside of the LSU community, and we partnered with the Mary Bird Joel D. Baines, VMD, PhD, became dean of Perkins - Our Lady of the Lake Cancer Center (Cancer Center) to give Mike stereotactic the LSU SVM on September 1, 2014. He radiotherapy, or SRT—to our knowledge the first time this treatment has been done on came to LSU from the Cornell University a live tiger. With fingers crossed, the treatment appears to have been successful, and College of Veterinary Medicine, where we hope to have Mike VI with us for many more months.
