    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.

Simone 2 To Michael and Tessa 3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS A driver fails without the support of a solid team, and I thank my friends, who supported me lap-after-lap. I learned a great deal from my advisor Jack Davis, who when he was not providing helpful feedback on my work, was always willing to toss the baseball around in the park. I must also thank committee members Sean Adams, Betty Smocovitis, Stephen Perz, Paul Ortiz, and Richard Crepeau as well as University of Florida faculty members Michael Bowen, Juliana Barr, Stephen Noll, Joseph Spillane, and Bill Link. I respect them very much and enjoyed working with them during my time in Gainesville. I also owe many thanks to Dr. Julian Pleasants, Director Emeritus of the Samuel Proctor Oral History Program, and I could not have finished my project without the encouragement provided by Roberta Peacock. I also thank the staff of the Samuel Proctor Oral History Program. Finally, I will always be grateful for the support of David Danbom, Claire Strom, Jim Norris, Mark Harvey, and Larry Peterson, my former mentors at North Dakota State University. A call must go out to Tom Schmeh at the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame, Suzanne Wise at the Appalachian State University Stock Car Collection, Mark Steigerwald and Bill Green at the International Motor Racing Resource Center in Watkins Glen, New York, and Joanna Schroeder at the (former) Ethanol Promotion and Information Council (EPIC).

    No. 19-001 FREE Wi-Fi SERVICES @ COUNTY PARKS

    County of Los Angeles Internal Services Department Request for Information (RFI) No. 19-001 FREE Wi-Fi SERVICES @ COUNTY PARKS 1.0 PURPOSE The County of Los Angeles (County) Internal Services Department (ISD) is releasing this Request of Information (RFI) to obtain information from firms that that can provide a free Wi-Fi service with open access to all social media sites for the public at County Parks within the jurisdiction of the County Department of Park and Recreation (DPR). Specifically, the County is seeking information from firms interested in entering into a Public/Private Partnership (PPP), or similar agreement, wherein the County would grant a firm(s) advertising privileges at County Parks in exchange for implementation and ongoing provision of free Wi-Fi services. Information received in response to the RFI may be used by the County for planning purposes. Vendors are advised that the County reserves the right to use any information gathered in response to this RFI to develop future solicitations. This RFI does not commit the County to contract for any services whatsoever. The County shall not be liable in any way or have any responsibility for any costs incurred in connection with the preparation, submittal, or presentation of any response to this RFI. 2.0 BACKGROUND DPR strives to provide residents and visitors with quality recreational opportunities across its 182 County parks. Free Wi-Fi service is currently available at only 30 County parks. While other parks offer computers, the lack of Wi-Fi access renders them inadequate for many park users’ needs. In accordance with a motion approved by the County Board of Supervisors (Board) in August 2019, this RFI will enable the County to gather market information and to gauge the vendor community’s interest in entering into a PPP with the County.

  • Byron White's Rookie Season

    Byron White's Rookie Season

    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 18, No. 6 (1996) BYRON WHITE'S ROOKIE SEASON By John Hogrogian Nineteen thirty-eight was a good year for Byron White. On New Year's Day, the 20-year-old senior led the unbeaten Buffaloes of the University of Colorado into the second annual Cotton Bowl game in Dallas. The Owls of Rice University beat Colorado 28-14 before about 37,000 fans. In a strong effort for the losers, White threw one touchdown pass and ran 53 yards with an interception for the other Colorado touchdown. The Cotton Bowl capped a superb season for White. Every major selector had picked him for the All- American backfield. The powerful 185-pound tailback was the star runner, passer and kicker in the Colorado single-wing offense, and he also excelled in the defensive secondary. Although Clint Frank of Yale won the Heisman Trophy, "Whizzer" White was the most acclaimed college football player of the 1937 season. With football over, Byron White took to the basketball floor for Colorado. The Buffaloes compiled a 10-2 conference record and were invited to compete in the first annual National Invitational Tournament in the Madison Square Garden in March. The Buffs would play NYU in the semi-final round on March 14, then, if successful, would play for the championship on March 16. The New York Times described Colorado as "a high-scoring outfit built around Jim (Swisher) Schwartz, a great shotmaker, and Byron (Whizzer) White, the All-American football back." Schwartz averaged an outstanding 17.7 points per game.

    The City Is Divided Into Many Neighborhoods, Many of Which Were Towns That Were Annexed by the Growing City

    The city is divided into many neighborhoods, many of which were towns that were annexed by the growing city. There are also several independent cities in and around Los Angeles, but they are popularly grouped with the city of Los Angeles, either due to being completely engulfed as enclaves by Los Angeles, or lying within its immediate vicinity. Generally, the city is divided into the following areas: Downtown Los Angeles, Northeast - including Highland Park and Eagle Rock areas, the Eastside, South Los Angeles (still often colloquially referred to as South Central by locals), the Harbor Area, Hollywood, Wilshire, the Westside, and the San Fernando and Crescenta Valleys. Some well-known communities of Los Angeles include West Adams, Watts, Venice Beach, the Downtown Financial District, Los Feliz, Silver Lake, Hollywood, Hancock Park, Koreatown, Westwood and the more affluent areas of Bel Air, Benedict Canyon, Hollywood Hills, Pacific Palisades, and Brentwood. [edit] Landmarks Important landmarks in Los Angeles include Chinatown, Koreatown, Little Tokyo, Walt Disney Concert Hall, Kodak Theatre, Griffith Observatory, Getty Center, Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Grauman's Chinese Theatre, Hollywood Sign, Hollywood Boulevard, Capitol Records Tower, Los Angeles City Hall, Hollywood Bowl, Watts Towers, Staples Center, Dodger Stadium and La Placita Olvera/Olvera Street. Downtown Los Angeles Skyline of downtown Los Angeles Downtown Los Angeles is the central business district of Los Angeles, California, United States, located close to the geographic center of the metropolitan area. The area features many of the city's major arts institutions and sports facilities, a variety of skyscrapers and associated large multinational corporations and an array of public art, unique shopping opportunities and the hub of the city's freeway and public transportation networks.
