  • 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.

  • JANUARY 1940 BUILDING NEWS 31 Room No
    BUILDING NEWS ARCHITECTURAL RECORD 30 MUSEUM WING FEATURES CONTROL OF LICHT AND ATMOSPHERE A. E. DOYLE & ASSOC IA TE, Architects SECOND STAGE in the reconstruction of the Portland, Oreg., Museum of Art. the new wing in memory of Josephine and Solomon Hirsch, constitutes a further development of the design principles evolved by the same architects in the first unit built in 1932. The terms of the Hirsch bequest were such that the new addition had to be used exclusively for exhibition purposes. Since the Museum also sponsors an active art school, this meant that the affhitects had not only to organize all the units into a workable whole. but think also "in terms of future and final development-which may eventually occupy the full city block of 200 by 200 ft." Aside from problems of plan, the main con­ cern, at·r·ording to the architects, "was to pro­ vide an economical, dignified, safe, and well­ lighted structure." How well they succeeded is apparent. The new Hirsch wing follows and develops the precedent set in their first unit (right, below) with a confident and formal clarity which marks a notable advance in muse~1m design. The need for economy has actually been exploited-as in the adroit use of Roman Travertine trim for common briC"k walls \facing page). Major emphasis has been laid always on performance-the best possible en­ vironment for canvases, tapestries, sculpture, and "·orks of art. In this connection, both the lighting ( p. 34) and system for atmospheric control ( p. 33) merit attention. Sculpture courtyard between original building and the new wing.
