Sports Stadia– Catalyst for Urban Regeneration of the Local Community? Sports Stadia– Catalyst for Urban Regeneration of the Local Community? A theoretical study on the role of sports stadia in the urban regeneration of the local community including a comparative case study of stadia in England (New Wembley, Emirates Stadium, New Anfield, New White Hart Lane) and the Netherlands (New Kuip) Dennis Blom Universiteit van Amsterdam Masterthesis Urban and Regional Planning Supervisor: Menno van der Veen The Hague, June 2014 Title: Sports Stadia – Catalyst for Urban Regeneration of the Local Community? University of Amsterdam Faculty of Social Sciences Master Urban and Regional Planning Supervisor: Menno van Veen 20th of June, 2014 Dennis Blom Noordland 38 2548 WB, The Hague [email protected] 0623226226 UvA no: 10547096 Pagina | 2 Preface The present master’s thesis is the end of my one-year Master Urban and Regional Planning at the University of Amsterdam. I have had the opportunity to build this research around strong personal interest which derive from my personal real-life experiences as a football fan and football player. All my life I have been fascinated about new sports stadia. Every time a new stadium is built, I want to know everything about it. For me it was very special to include the new Kuip case in this research, because as a youth player of Feyenoord I played several times a pre-match in the Kuip. I decided to examine the new Kuip, because it is today a hot topic in the Netherlands. Unfortunately, the plans were during my research still at an early stage so I could not examine the new stadium plans in detail. Though, it was interesting to see the difference between the English urban regeneration stadia and the new Kuip case at this early stage. I hope I contributed to the international debate and on the sly I hope to contribute to the final new Kuip plans from an urban planning viewpoint. For me, writing this thesis has been a rewarding and thought-provoking experience. During this research I found out that many beautiful stadia that offers many economic benefits to the club owners or football clubs, are often not good in terms of urban regeneration. In the context of economic crisis it seems for me desirable stadia should be designed for clubs and public spill-overs. In this way stadia also have value for disadvantaged local communities. Consequently, because of this research I currently look at stadia very different than I was used to. At first the inside of the new stadia and the outside with respect to flagship architecture was very interesting for me, now I’m more into the role of stadia within local communities. I would also like to use this preface to thank a number of people. First of all my parents, friends and fellow students for their interest and stimulating words while writing this thesis. I could not have done it without them. I also have to thank my thesis supervisor Menno van der Veen. The pleasant cooperation, suggestions and feedback have sent me in the right direction. Finally, I hope this study inspires and helps other people to carry out similar research on the impact of sports stadia on urban regeneration of disadvantaged areas. In addition, I hope policy makers become more aware of the importance of sports-related regeneration and the creation of an integrated area-based strategy with the building of new or renovation of existing stadia. In this way the expensive stadia will also produce positive spill-overs and public benefits, instead of focusing on the benefits for the respective clubs. Dennis Blom The Hague, June 2014 Pagina | 3 Abstract Anywhere around Europe, from England to Spain, stadia are built or upgraded for mainly economic reasons. Often the stadia projects are focused on the interests of the sports teams, and not on the value of stadia for the local community. The use of constructing or upgrading sports stadia as a tool for regenerating cities has become very popular in Europe, and especially in England, recent years. In England clubs and stadia are very much attached to the local community. Therefore the clubs in general do not relocate to out-of-town locations, which is for instance very common in Germany. This is also the reason the German stadia are do not have value for the local community in terms of urban regeneration, and the English “urban regeneration stadia” do. The English sports stadia are often the centre of a development of an area and thus seen as catalyst for urban regeneration of a neighbourhood. However, there is some disagreement about the benefits of stadia. Are stadia really a catalyst for urban regeneration of a local community? Numerous authors have criticized the value of the economic promises. The benefits of sports stadia are also questioned because the benefits for the local community have been poorly researched. Although there are many views on the positive and negative effects of sports stadia, theoretical insight on what conditions stadia must meet in order to actually have a function for a local community is missing. This research has therefore a theoretical perspective, which means that based on existing literature, expert interviews, own research and a policy analysis of several case studies a number of conditions are formulated which (future) stadia must meet to have value for local community. Aim is to investigate how stadia can act as a catalyst for urban regeneration in disadvantaged working-class quarters. This eventually leads to recommendations, conditions which stadia must meet, that is very relevant to today’s practice of building or upgrading stadia within disadvantaged working-class quarters like the case of the new Kuip in Rotterdam. This research provides evidence to suggest that sports stadia can have a positive impact on a disadvantaged working-class quarter, but that stadia must meet certain conditions in order to actually act as a catalyst and have value for a local community.

  • Chapter 2 Economic Model of a Professional Football Club in France
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Stirling Online Research Repository Chapter 2 Economic model of a professional football club in France Nicolas Scelles and Wladimir Andreff The economic model of football clubs is a revenue model but also a cost model in relation to their objective. It can be defined as the search for balance between revenues, costs and objective, and the latter can vary: profit maximization, sporting maximization under strict constraint (“hard” constraint), or “soft” budget constraint (Andreff, 2009). In France, the revenue model of football clubs has evolved with time. This mutation fits in the switch from an SSSL (Spectators-Subventions-Sponsors- Local) model to an MMMMG (Media-Magnats-Merchandising-Markets-Global) model at the European level (Andreff & Staudohar, 2000). Before 1914, sport financing came mainly from practitioners (Bourg et Gouguet, 2001, p. 19). Thereafter, with competitions as spectacle, spectators have become the primary source of revenue, ahead of the subsidies granted by the local authorities and industry patrons. Advertising revenues have gradually become more and more important and, in the 1960s and 1970s, sponsorship increased significantly as firms were seeking more direct identification in terms of audience, image, reputation and sales (Andreff et Staudohar, 2000, p. 259) . In France, during the 1970s, operating revenues of first division football clubs came mainly from the spectators, supplemented by subsidies and sponsorship. The SSSL model was at its peak, with its “L” finding its justification in the fact that the revenues were generated from local or national residents. The 1980s is the starting point of a continuous increase in the share of TV rights income for French clubs.

Samenvatting Euroborg NV en FC Groningen hebben gezamenlijk een plan uitgewerkt om tot de realisatie te komen van een Topsportzorgcentrum (hierna: TsZC) in de stad. Beide initiatiefnemers hebben het plan uitgewerkt in een business case. Deze business case is mee ontwikkeld door toekomstige gebruikers van het complex, Inter-Psy en VNO-NCW. Voor de stad Groningen is het TsZC in meerdere opzichten een waardevolle toevoeging. Het college is dan ook content met het feit dat Euroborg NV, Inter-Psy, VNO-NCW en FC Groningen hun gezamenlijke ambities tot een concreet plan hebben gemaakt. Het TsZC vervult ook een duidelijke rol om de regionale voetbalclub FC Groningen toekomstbestendig te maken. Het TsZC is onderdeel van het strategisch plan van FC Groningen dat de toekomstige selectie meer regionale spelers kent. FC Groningen wil daarmee nog meer uitdrukking geven aan het regionale karakter van FC Groningen.
