In the past, the event had easily drawn many bands but tastes changed and it had become harder and harder to attract participants. The event was due for a makeover. FIRST ATTEMPTS AT REFORM: My first Band Day at Miami was in 2010. After reviewing past practices, I made some changes... • Instituted a “5th Quarter” option that allowed bands that requested, an opportunity to perform their own show following the game. The MUMB always performed at the end. • Added opportunities for HS bands to perform in our tailgating areas. • Seated all HS bands around us in the stadium. In previous years, they were seated away from us. • Expanded Athletic Department logistical support. In the past, they marketed the event but were largely absent day-of-game. This caused issues with buses, parking, managing gates, etc. as necessary details were not always communicated to all game-day staff or the duties were assigned to “less-capable” department employees. CONTINUED CHALLENGES: By 2015, the last year we held “Band Day”... • We were struggling to attract ten bands. Ones that did attend tended to be non- competitive and small. Miami football was routinely in the bottom ten in rankings. • Many high school students were not enthusiastic owing to being compelled to attend. • Miami students still felt disconnected from the HS bands. It was a juxtaposed experience rather than an integrated one. • Vast majority of bands left immediately following half-time. • Department of Athletics was increasingly vocal about wanting to see tangible income from event. o There was no charge for bands to participate, the belief being that these bands would bring their own entourages of parents to games, purchasing tickets and concessions. Unfortunately, most bands brought only their chaperones. o There was a proposal to charge each student a fee to participate. I was adamantly opposed, citing that we could not, via a high school band director, compel them to participate while simultaneously charging admission. I considered it a STRONG negative recruitment tact and was prepared to withdraw our support of the event. REBRANDING-MIAMI UNIVERSITY HONORS MARCHING BAND IN 2016 • Needed a new model. This idea was freely borrowed from Jeff Fuchs at UNC. • Design as a true recruiting event. Accept students who wished to attend and participate. • Honors Band model is a known commodity and experience. • Wanted to create a true immersive experience for the HS students AND my own. The idea was to “become an MUMB member for the day.” Participants were adopted into our sections, rehearsed with us, ate lunch with us, did our pregame concert with us, performed on field with us, and were in the stands with us, not beside us, for all in- game play. • I was willing to charge a participation fee for this model. The students were self- selecting to attend and a participation fee is expected in this type of experience. Fee was to be $20 including lunch, t-shirt, parking, and game admission for one adult. Family discounts were provided for additional tickets. RESULTS OF OUR FIRST HONORS BAND • Miami had won less than five games in three years as of September 9th, 2016, the date of the event.

  • 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.

DREAMS AND PLANS: A CASE STUDY OF THE FOOTBALL FACILITIES OF THE UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA A Dissertation Presented to the Graduate School of Clemson University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy Educational Leadership by Misty B. Soles August 2018 Accepted by: Robert C. Knoeppel, Committee Chair D. Matthew Boyer Michael Godfrey Mindy Spearman ABSTRACT Intercollegiate athletics are an integral part of colleges and universities in the United States and have been for decades. Large athletic facilities expenditures began in the interwar period, the period between the two World Wars, with widespread construction of on-campus stadiums. Currently, athletic facilities expenditures are experiencing a second nationwide spending spree that began around the turn of the century. This study considers the types of athletic facilities, motivations for those facilities, and financial models used to pay for those facilities at the University of Georgia. The study concentrates on facilities constructed solely or primarily for football during two chronological periods: the interwar period and the 2000-2017 period.
