Chair Sanchez: At this time, what I'd like to do is turn it over to the City Manager to get us up-to-date as to what are the amendments that have been presented on this agreement. At this time, Mr. City Manager, you're recognized for the record. Pedro G. Hernandez (City Manager): Mr. Chairman, Commissioners, good morning. As you know, since February 13, when this item was previously before you, there was a lot of participation by the public. There was a lot of discussion. The meeting was continued to another date. It was changed a few times and is before you properly today. During the last five weeks, this Administration has been working with the County and the Team; has been listening to the public comment, has been listening to your specific concerns, and we're ready today to propose modifications to the original agreements for baseball that were presented on February 13. I consider these initiatives that are the result of the work of the County, the City, and the Team, but specifically, initiatives that are supported by the administration of the County and the administration of the City. The modifications fall in four areas. I would say the number-one area is probably the most significant and is the one that deals with jobs and jobs and the creation of jobs, also the emphasis on providing opportunity to small businesses. The second component deals with the parking agreement, the third one deals with community benefits, and City of Miami Page 4 Printed on 4/10/2009 City Commission Meeting Minutes March 19, 2009 the last one deals with contributions by the Team. So I'm going to go by those components. And you have before you the latest version of all the amendments. I'm not reading the whole document but I'm going to highlight from the different areas the most significant elements.

    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.

  • AFL-NFL Speak, Write, and Research Engage in Substantive Debate Become a Global Citizen
    AHSMUN IV: AFL-NFL Speak, Write, and Research Engage in substantive debate Become a global citizen Chairs: Joseph Weisberg and Matthew Kirchmier AMERICAN FOOTBALL LEAGUE (AFL) & NATIONAL CORPORATE FOOTBALL LEAGUE (NFL) MERGER Introduction Many factors were at play in the 1960s as two professional football leagues started a duel for America’s viewership. The American Football League (AFL), founded in 1959, challenged the established National Football League (NFL) for viewership and fan loyalty. Riding on popular rules that promoted scoring, racial diversity, and robust personalities, the AFL’s success escalated tensions between the two leagues. As player values continued to rise, Pete Rozelle, Tex Schramm, and Lamar Hunt initiated a secret negotiation process that later came to involve all owners. Background In 1959, Lamar Hunt formed the AFL after the NFL rejected his desire for an expansion team. In its inaugural season, the AFL featured 8 teams: the Boston Patriots, Buffalo Bills, Houston Oilers, New York Titans, Dallas Texans, Denver Broncos, Los Angeles Chargers, and Oakland Raiders. Eventually, the AFL expanded to include the Miami Dolphins and Cincinnati Bengals. From the onset, the NFL sought to undermine the newly formed American League. In 1959, Hunt had agreed with an ownership group led by Max Winter to place an AFL franchise in the Twin Cities. Despite its public policy that it would not expand, the NFL offered the ownership group an expansion team in the older, more prestigious National Football League. To further subvert the new league, the NFL expanded to Dallas, which eventually prompted Lamar Hunt to move his Dallas Texans to their current home in Kansas City.

Trumpbour © 2001 Robert C. Trumpbour Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy December 2001 We approve the thesis of Robert C. Trumpbour. Date of Signature _____________________________ _____________________ Richard L. Barton Professor of Communications Associate Dean of Graduate Studies and Research Thesis Adviser Chair of Committee _____________________________ ______________________ Suzanna DeBoef Associate Professor of Political Science _____________________________ ______________________ Patrick Parsons Associate Professor of Communications _____________________________ ______________________ Ronald A. Smith Professor Emeritus of Exercise and Sport Science iii Abstract Stadium construction has occurred at record-breaking level in major metropolitan areas of the United States in the last decade. This dissertation traces media coverage of stadium construction policy throughout the twentieth century and the beginning of the twenty-first century, focusing specifically on newspaper coverage of this issue. The hypothesis that media practitioners in smaller metropolitan areas will be more likely to privilege voices supporting new stadium construction is examined. The case study method is utilized and content analysis is employed to determine media coverage trends in major American metropolitan areas. Cincinnati and Pittsburgh are examined as small market cities, while Boston and New York are explored as larger market cities. Evidence is provided that larger markets adopt a more critical position than small market cities regarding new stadium construction in newspaper opinion content. Large market publications are similar to smaller market counterparts in providing greater opportunity for expression to pro-stadium voices.

  • Vol. 18, No. 1 (1996)
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 18, No. 1 (1996) THE TEN BEST SUPER BOWLS By Bob Carroll Courtesy of Total Sports It's an article of faith among the jaded that the least interesting football game all season is the Super Bowl. Small wonder. The whole season has pointed toward this single meeting. By kickoff, enough hype has been expended to elect three Presidents, introduce your state's latest Lotto game, and launch a new version of Windows. That the game's actual blocking, tackling, and kicking will prove a letdown is as likely as Liz's next marriage not being her last. The jaded can cite a goodly number of blow-outs as evidence that the Roman-numeraled game sucks, but blow-outs have occurred in championship games since long before anyone thought of modifying Bowl with the S-word. That 73-0 lesson the Bears taught the Redskins in 1940 -- still the most one-sided NFL score ever -- was for the championship. In reality, it's probably surprising that so many Super Bowls have been worth watching. How many? Well, certainly one out of three. And with Number XXX in the till, that means at least ten. Of course, "worth watching" can mean different things to different football afficionados. There are Bears fans who loved every last second of XX when the Bruins dismantled the Pitiful Pats 46-10. In Dallas, they were still tuned in to XXVII long after most of us had started surfing USA and Nick at Night for a good re- run. But by Supe Time, most of us have seen our favorite team eliminated in a playoff (or by Week Six if you favor the Jets).
