INTRODUCTION What if I said that a place that is revered by many-a place that has moved millions to tears of joy and pangs of heartache-no longer exists? Every few years, a memorable historic stadium is demolished to make way for a new luxury venue that a team can call home. Yet, for many fans, the modem stadiums lack the charm of the old ballparks. Fans see these replacements as crimes against their cultural history. Communities confront stadium proposals with cries to protect the aging giants. But, there are tremendous costs involved with historic preservation, especially the protection of sports facilities, which stand in contrast to the costs associated with preservation of residential or commercial buildings.

  • Stadium Roof? a Retractable Plan
    BASEBALL A63 [PLAYOFF BUZZ ANTHONY RIEBER] [email protected] Stadium roof? A retractable plan DETROIT ince it apparently rains every day in New York now, the ques- Stion has been asked a lot recently: Why doesn’t 3-year-old Yankee Sta- dium have a retractable roof? If it did, then Friday’s suspen- sion of Game 1 of the ALDS would not have happened. The rain that threatened play dur- ing the resumption of Game 1 Saturday would have bounced harmlessly off the roof. So, too, would the drops that pelted Derek Jeter when he struck out in the ninth inning of Sunday’s Game 2. Rain delays? Gone. Rainouts? None. Trying to figure out whether to go to the stadium or stay home when you spent hundreds of dollars on tickets? A thing of the past. Stadiums built for the Yan- kees and Mets cost more than $2 billion. So why didn’t any- one think to put lids on the darn things? It turns out retractable domes were part of the new sta- dium planning for both teams. NEWSDAY PHOTO / J. CONRAD WILLIAMS JR.

  • Sports and the Rhetorical Construction of the Citizen-Consumer
    THE SPORTS MALL OF AMERICA: SPORTS AND THE RHETORICAL CONSTRUCTION OF THE CITIZEN-CONSUMER Cory Hillman A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2012 Committee: Dr. Michael Butterworth, Advisor Dr. David Tobar Graduate Faculty Representative Dr. Clayton Rosati Dr. Joshua Atkinson © 2010 Cory Hillman All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Dr. Michael Butterworth, Advisor The purpose of this dissertation was to investigate from a rhetorical perspective how contemporary sports both reflect and influence a preferred definition of democracy that has been narrowly conflated with consumption in the cultural imaginary. I argue that the relationship between fans and sports has become mediated by rituals of consumption in order to affirm a particular identity, similar to the ways that citizenship in America has become defined by one’s ability to consume under conditions of neoliberal capitalism. In this study, I examine how new sports stadiums are architecturally designed to attract upper income fans through the mobilization of spectacle and surveillance-based strategies such as Fan Code of Conducts. I also investigate the “sports gaming culture” that addresses advertising in sports video games and fantasy sports participation that both reinforce the burgeoning commercialism of sports while normalizing capitalism’s worldview. I also explore the area of licensed merchandise which is often used to seduce fans into consuming the sports brand by speaking the terms of consumer capitalism often naturalized in fan’s expectations in their engagement with sports. Finally, I address potential strategies of resistance that rely on a reassessment of the value of sports in American culture, predicated upon restoring citizens’ faith in public institutions that would simultaneously reclaim control of the sporting landscape from commercial entities exploiting them for profit.

  • The Assembly State of New York Albany
    THE ASSEMBLY STATE OF NEW YORK ALBANY RICHARD L. BRODSKY CHAIRMAN Assemblyman 92ND District Committee on Corporations, Authorities Westchester County and Commissions Testimony of Assemblyman Richard Brodsky Mr. Chairman and Members of the Sub-Committee: I am pleased to be able to transmit to you a copy of the Interim Report into Public Financial Assistance for the New Yankee Stadium, and to testify on the federal issues involved in the Stadium project. The Report is based on previously secret and undisclosed legal documents, sworn testimony before Committees of the Legislature, and direct discussion with involved public and private persons. It sets forth the actions of various public and private parties as the New York Yankees and public officials sought and achieved a package of public benefits that total about one billion dollars. The Report concludes that, in spite of public claims by elected officials and the Yankees, there are almost no new permanent jobs, private investment, or local economic impact resulting from the taxpayer subsidies, the bonds were used for private benefit1, and that the public is paying for the cost of construction of the new Stadium.2 The Report further finds that the massive ticket prices announced by the Yankees, which will make Yankee games largely unaffordable to the very taxpayers who are paying for it, could have been mitigated if City officials had made affordable ticket prices a condition of the massive subsidies. The City refused to do so, instead, the using bond proceeds to acquire a luxury suite

Their role in shaping public opinion through their media interests, and their mastering of the world of business and trade is pivotal to the world economy. As a group they are the most successful in terms of income and wealth and they have reached the highest echelons or the pinnacle of power in every field. Jews are the masters of Hollywood, they are the masters of all forms of media, radio, and television. They are masters of trade and commerce and banking, medicine, and law. The following lists we believe prove this reality. Jewish Lists The lists below are available on the internet.
