Rehabilitation of existing Buildings considers a crucial contributor to most sustainable development aspects. It is a starting point for the redevelopment which promotes social, economic and environmental aspects of sustainability. Both FIFA and UEFA support the need for sustainable stadiums.

The College All-Star Football Classic
THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 22, No. 2 (2000) The College All-Star Football Classic By Jon Grogan INTRODUCTION In early 1934, Chicago mayor Edward Kelly asked the editor and publisher of the Chicago Tribune, Colo- nel Robert McCormick, to help stage a sports spectacle as an adjunct to the city’s Century of Progress exposition. A year earlier, the Tribune hosted the first all-star baseball game at Comisky Park to help boost attendance at the exposition. The game was a financial and promotional success, and it catapulted its organizer, Tribune sports editor Arch Ward, to a preeminent position in the area of sports promotion. After speaking to the mayor, McCormick turned again to his thirty-seven year old sports editor for another idea. Ward subsequently met with his friend, Chicago Bear owner George Halas, and the two tossed around the idea for a football game between a team of the nation’s best collegiate players and the de- fending National Football League champions. Each man saw benefits in staging such a contest. Arch Ward joined the Chicago Tribune in January 1925, fresh from the campus of the University of Notre Dame where he had been Knute Rockne’s press secretary. His primary job at Notre Dame lay in promot- ing Rockne and his “Rambler” (precursor to the “Fighting Irish”) football team to eastern newspapers, par- ticularly those in New York City. After stints as a copyreader and the assistant sports editor, Ward be- came the Tribune’s sports editor in April 1930. Although he lacked the journalistic skills of sports report- ers like Grantland Rice and Ring Lardner, Ward was an accomplished and indefatigable promoter.

The Season of '41
THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 13, No. 4 (1991) The Season of '41 by Stan Grosshandler On January second Stanford, using the resurrected T- formation, defeated Nebraska in the Rose Bowl illustrating the speed and deceptiveness of this formation. The following day the National Intercollegiate Football Rules Committee initiated unlimited substitution and recommended players be numbered according to their position. On the fourth, a Pro All-Star game was played at the Polo Grounds between the 1940 champion Bears and an All-Star team chosen from the rest of the NFL. The Bears won 35- 24. On January sixth President Franklin D. Roosevelt proposed that when the war raging throughout the rest of the world ends all people should be guaranteed four freedoms: speech, worship, from want, and from fear. His new budget has 60% dedicated for national defense. In March the monumental Lend-Lease act allowing the U.S. to supply the Allies with much needed materials was passed by Congress. During the April meetings of the NFL Bert Bell and Art Rooney, co-owners of the Philadelphia Eagles announced they were trading franchises with Lex Thompson who had bought the Pittsburgh Pirates from Rooney the previous year. The entire rosters of each team would swap cities with the former Eagles becoming the Steelers and vice- versa.. Next, the league announced that Elmer Layden, coach and A.D. of Notre Dame, was appointed Commissioner. The old fullback of the Four Horseman would have powers equal to those of Baseball Commissioner Judge Kenesaw Landis. Baseball captured, and held tight, the attention of the nation as Joe DiMaggio compiled his incredible batting streak, Ted Williams attempted to become the first man in a decade to bat .400, and the Dodgers and Cardinals put on an exciting race for the National League pennant.
