  • ABSTRACT Title of Document: [Re]Integrating the Stadium
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: [Re]integrating the Stadium Within the City: A Ballpark for Downtown Tampa Justin Allen Cullen Master of Architecture, 2012 Directed By: Professor Garth C. Rockcastle, FAIA Architecture With little exception, Major League Baseball stadiums across the country deprive their cities of valuable space when not in use. These stadiums are especially wasteful if their resource demands are measured against their utilization. Baseball stadiums are currently utilized for only 13% of the total hours of each month during a regular season. Even though these stadiums provide additional uses for their audiences (meeting spaces, weddings, birthdays, etc.) rarely do these events aid the facility’s overall usage during a year. This thesis explores and redevelops the stadium’s interstitial zone between the street and the field. The primary objective is to redefine this zone as a space that functions for both a ballpark and as part of the urban fabric throughout the year.

Jordan North Carolina State University Landscape Architecture 444 Prof. Fernando Magallanes December 7, 2012 Jordan, J. The Origination of Baseball and Its Stadiums 2 Abstract Baseball is America’s Pastime and is home for some of the most influential people and places in the USA. Since the origination of baseball itself, fields and ball parks have had emotional effects on Americans beginning long before the creation of the USA. In this paper, one will find the background of the sport and how it became as well as the first ball parks and their effects on people in the USA leading up to the discussion about Wrigley Field in Chicago, Illinois. Jordan, J. The Origination of Baseball and Its Stadiums 3 Baseball. This one word could represent the American pastime and culture. Many believe it to be as old as dirt. Peter Morris in his book, Level Playing Fields, explains “Baseball is sometimes said to be older than dirt. It is one of those metaphors that sounds silly on its face but that still resonates because it hints at a deeper truth. In this case, the deeper truth is that neither baseball nor dirt is quite complete without the other” (Morris, 2007). Morris practically says that baseball cannot thrive without proper fields to play on or parks to play in. Before describing early playing fields and stadiums in baseball, one must know where the sport and idea originated from in the first place.

  • BASEBALL: the OLD DAYS (Originally Published July 1977)
    BASEBALL: THE OLD DAYS (Originally published July 1977) A recent article in Sports Illustrated on Roger Marris brought back memories of baseball—the baseball that once was played more than fifty years ago. In 1961, Marris broke the old Babe Ruth record and, with Mantle batting behind him in the clean-up spot, made up half of the combination the Home Run Twins, which belted out a total of 115 homers that season. Marris' career in the lime-light was relatively short lived as compared to heroes like Ruth and DiMaggio, who preceded him and Mantle who outlasted him. But Marris and Mantle weren't even born fifty years ago. My own baseball heroes were guys you never heard of, like "Deadpan" Bob Dowie, "Oyster Joe" Martina and Ollie Tucker. They used to play for the New Orleans Pelicans back in the 1920s, and they played in old Alex Heinemann’s ballpark on the corner of Tulane and Carrollton Avenues next to the railroad tracks and the New Basin Canal where the Fontainebleau Hotel now stands. Alex was a crusty, cigar-smoking, elderly bachelor, a supposedly philanthropic gent who loved all children. He was especially fond of young boys wearing tight britches. After Alex died, they changed the name of his park to Pelican Stadium. Anyway, in those days, unless you lived in one of the eleven major league cities, the real baseball heroes were those in your hometown, playing in a league like the old Class AA Southern Association or, over here in Georgia, the Sally League. Sure, we kept up with the majors and knew about the Indians and Senators, and about John McGraw's Giants or Connie Mack's Athletics, and the big stars like Tris Speaker, Ty Cobb, Babe Ruth, Walter "Big Train" Johnson, "Dizzy" Vance and Hank De Berry, but they were just sport page names of teams and players we read about but never saw unless they happened to come through town for a preseason exhibition with the local club.
