  • 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.

Whereas, a professional football team was formed in the second−floor editorial rooms of the Green Bay Press−Gazette building on August 11, 1919, and after an under−the−radar public reveal of the team two days later, it was announced that they would be named the Green Bay Packers after the team’s sponsor, the Indian Packing Co.; and Whereas, in their first season, the Packers went 10−1 under manager George Whitney Calhoun and captain Curly Lambeau with a team that was filled mostly by former standouts at Green Bay East and West High Schools and that played home games at Hagemeister Park where they covered their expenses in part by “passing a hat” for voluntary contributions; and Whereas, after two successful seasons as an independent professional football team, the Green Bay Packers joined the American Professional Football Association, soon to become the National Football League, in 1921 as the smallest city in the young league; and Whereas, the Packers survived against the odds in the team’s early years after repeated financial struggles and constant restructuring by the NFL to remove franchises from smaller cities in favor of larger markets, and now thrive in the smallest market and as the only community−owned team in major professional sports; and Whereas, the Green Bay Packers won their first World Championship in 1929, less than a

After winning six of the National Football League’s first 24 championships, the Packers won only 55 games, while losing 107 and tying 3, from 1945 through 1958. No wonder that Packer fans dwelt on the past, and the great legends of the past—Canadeo, Hutson, Herber, Hubbard, Hinkle, Dilweg, Lewellen, Isbell, Michalske, Lambeau. But the greatest legend of all was Johnny Blood, because he was not only a great football player, but also a colorful, flamboyant personality off the field. (His one-time teammate and fellow member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, Clarke Hinkle, once said, “Next to Johnny Blood, Joe Namath looks like Little Lord Fauntleroy.”) I grew up in Green Bay during that period and, by the time I was thirteen and thinking of becoming a writer, I knew that someday I wanted to write a book about this legendary charac- ter.

  • Packers Strong All Year Long
    2016/2017 ANNUAL REPORT PACKERS STRONG ALL YEAR LONG. VISION STATEMENT To become and remain the standard of excellence against which all other organizations in professional sports are measured. MISSION STATEMENT To win championships and deliver excellent guest experiences while being guided by our core values. Secondary Mark PRESIDENT’S LETTER Dear Shareholders: The Packers had another exciting year in 2016, with an electrifying, eight-game winning streak that propelled us to the NFC Championship Game, our second such appearance in the last three seasons. It marked the eighth consecutive season we made the playoffs – a team record – and we captured the division title for the fifth time in the last six seasons. This continued success in a very competitive league, spearheaded by Ted Thompson and Mike McCarthy, gives me confidence that we’ll continue to be in position to compete for the Super Bowl championship. On the field, our players are among the most talented in the league, led by quarterback Aaron Rodgers. On both sides of the ball, we are fortunate to have a balance of veteran leaders, versatile playmakers and up-and-coming young players that we expect to contribute to another extraordinary season. Off the field, our business operations have continued to be successful, with revenue surpassing $440 million on the strength of increases in both national and local revenue. Our net income and profit from operations remain strong as well, with our net income positively impacted by relocation fees from the three teams moving to different cities. We continued to host fans year-round for Lambeau Field Tours and visits to the Packers Hall of Fame, Packers Pro Shop and 1919 Kitchen & Tap.
