Multi-Use Entertainment Venue Noise/Sound Study and Lighting Discussion Points/Concerns Timing of the Release of the Studies Design incorporated most modern state of the art technology designed to direct sound within the Venue. The studies was performed following completion of the design for an aggressive design/build project schedule. The studies were performed based on the state of the art technology recognizing the urban setting that exists. Current noise/sound study only covers impact of Baseball Activities Most other activities outside of baseball will not utilize the sound system of the Venue. Events such as fireworks and concerts require a separate permit. Option is already being pursued to perform a separate study regarding the Impact of Concerts and Fireworks – challenges include unknowns regarding concert setups that vary based on the show/act, and the design of the Fireworks show, which is not complete Projection of 300 events being held at the Venue is alarming when noise/sound There will be 70 home games (35 fireworks displays), study only accounts for 70 ballgames approximately 3 to 4 concerts the first year. Other events will be smaller in-door events or community oriented or activities that will have significantly less impact than baseball, concerts or fireworks. Multi-Use Entertainment Venue Other Discussion Points/Concerns Traffic Study The study is being finalized for submittal to SCDOT. Upon approval, it will be released and community meetings will be scheduled. The traffic study is being performed by a consultant and pertains to the entire development and not the Venue in isolation. Parking Plan The parking plan for the first year of the Venue is being developed and will be released once complete. Concern Regarding Attendees Parking within Surrounding Neighborhoods This concern is being taken into account in the development of the parking plan.

It should be noted these levels will be intermittent, typically lasting in intervals of no more than 30 seconds at a time during the game. • Stadium, First Base Building, Babcock, and Ensor Buildings geometry as provided by POPULOUS • Terrain from the site topographical data • Foliage, winds, other future buildings not included in model to provide conservative estimate • Crowd noise not included in the model; not controlled by facility and consists of many individual sources so sound travels less far Wrightson | Johnson | Haddon | Williams Environmental Noise Model - Results Wrightson | Johnson | Haddon | Williams Columbia, South Carolina Noise Ordinance Prohibits any person from creating sound in excess of the sound pressure levels noted in the following table. Wrightson | Johnson | Haddon | Williams Environmental Noise Model - Results Wrightson | Johnson | Haddon | Williams Discussion • Noise levels from the sound systems for baseball use meet the applicable City of Columbia Noise Ordinance outside of the Planned Use Development • As discussed previously, noise levels are for typical minor league baseball games, and are typically intermittent • Typical ambient noise levels for an urban neighborhood are approximately 55 dBA – While the loudspeaker system could still be audible and noticeable because of the speech and musical content, typical stadium operations would not be louder than those ambient levels in an urban residential area Wrightson | Johnson | Haddon | Williams QUESTIONS?

    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.

In total, the new player development system includes 179 teams across 17 leagues in 43 states and four provinces. Including the AZL and GCL, there are 209 teams across 19 leagues in 44 states and four provinces. That includes the 150 teams in the PDL and AZL/GCL along with the four partner leagues: the American Association, Atlantic League, Frontier League and Pioneer League. The long-time Triple-A structure of the International and Pacific Coast Leagues have been replaced by Triple-A East and Triple-A West. Triple-A East consists on 20 teams; all 14 from the International League, plus teams moving from the Pacific Coast League, the Southern League and the independent Atlantic League. Triple-A West is comprised of nine Pacific Coast League teams and one addition from the Atlantic League. These changes were made to help reduce travel and allow Major League teams to have their affiliates, in most cases, within 200 miles of the parent club (or play at their Spring Training facilities). triple-a clubs & affiliates midwest northeast southeast e Columbus (Cleveland Indians) Buffalo (Toronto Blue Jays) Charlotte (Chicago White Sox) Indianapolis (Pittsburgh Pirates) Lehigh Valley (Philadelphia Phillies) Durham (Tampa Bay Rays) a Iowa (Chicago Cubs) Rochester (Washington Nationals) Gwinnett (Atlanta Braves) s Louisville (Cincinnati Reds) Scranton/ Wilkes-Barre (New York Yankees) Jacksonville (Miami Marlins) Omaha (Kansas City Royals) Syracuse (New York Mets) Memphis (St.
