This paper is posted at ScholarlyCommons. https://repository.upenn.edu/curej/213 For more information, please contact [email protected]. Follow the Leader: The Effect of Elite Support on Ballot Referendums for Publicly Financed Sports Stadiums Abstract Since the 1960s, most professional sports facilities have been financed through a mix of private and public funds. Team owners contribute private capital to the project, but the majority of the funding comes from the taxpayer. These public dollars are drawn from the supplementation of existing taxes, or the creation of new taxes in the cities or surrounding counties where the sports franchise operates, and are usually subject to a public vote. In most cases, local citizens do not support the use of taxpayer dollars to fund professional sports stadium subsidies. Previous research demonstrates that the local politicians and corporate executives who benefit from hosting a professional sports franchise can influence oterv opinion by reframing the tax increases as a means to remain a “major league city,” and by claiming that the economic value of the project will exceed its costs.

APPLICATION OF THE PUBLIC TRUST DOCTRINE TO THE PITTSBURGH STADIUM AND EXHIBITION AUTHORITY Chris Dumbroski* I. INTRODUCTION Sport stadiums exist as the modern Coliseums, a testament to the popularity of American sports. Stadiums represent cities, fans and the teams that play in them. Older stadiums, such as Boston's Fenway Park, Chicago's Wrigley Field and Green Bay's Lambeau Field, con- tinue to grow in stature and are popular tourist attractions.' However, many once popular stadiums became out-dated and undesirable; this trend held particularity true with stadiums build in the 1960s and 1970s. As teams outgrew stadiums, they pushed cities and states to build new state-of-the-art stadiums with public funds. A majority of cities complied; while other cities saw their sports teams leave. The relocations of the Baltimore Colts to Indianapolis, the Cleveland Browns to Baltimore and the Minnesota North Stars to Dallas2 are examples of teams moving because of cities' reluctance to build new complexes.3 Twice the Pittsburgh Pirates ("Pirates"), a Major League Baseball ("MLB") franchise, and the Pittsburgh Steelers ("Steelers"), a Na- tional Football League ("NFL") franchise, joined the push for modern * JD., 2010, DePaul University College of Law; LL.M.

  • WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA HISTORY | WINTER 2016-17 47 Saul Kronzek Holds a Butchered Chicken Outside His Shop in Highland Park, 1987
    CHAPTER 3 A Hard Working Town ittsburgh’s legacy of iron, glass, and steel bestowed on this place an enduring reputation as a hard-working town. Sprawling mills shaped neighborhoods and dominated the regional landscape, served by a Pnetwork of rails and barges. Though the steel industry largely vanished a generation ago, this is still the image many have of Pittsburgh: a place of heat, smoke, long hours, dangerous jobs, mill towns full of bars and churches, and a never-quit work ethic. Photographs at the History Center from U. S. Steel, Mesta, and J&L supply ample evidence of the city’s resilient people, though not everyone labored in the mills. Pittsburgh required brick makers, welders, tailors, and butchers; the city attracted innovators, entrepreneurs, and fi nanciers. Nor was the workforce exclusively male— many young women worked in Pittsburgh’s banks, schools, and offi ces. They did much of the work in the winding department at Westinghouse, ran the switchboards at Kaufmann’s department store, or learned to drive a bus or fl y a plane. All these occupations and many more are refl ected in the photo collections at the History Center. Workers at Harbison Walker making refractory brick, Hays Works, 1920s.
