For more information, please contact [email protected]. ESSAY SPORTS FACILITIES & URBAN REDEVELOPMENT DAVID E. CARDWELL* The 1990s was a decade in which new sports facilities of every type and description were built throughout the United States and Canada. Not since the 1960s when baseball began its major expansion has there been such a boom in new facilities. The decade began with the construc- tion of New Comiskey Park in Chicago in 1991. The following construc- tion boom has continued unabated into the present. What explains this explosion in new design, concepts and construc- tion? It is more than the mere aging of structures (i.e., Wrigley Field is still going strong even though it dates back to 1916). Changes in the economics of the game explain much of the need for new facilities that generate more revenue that can then be retained by the team to pay ever-increasing player salaries. The specifics of the economics of modern professional sports are be- yond the scope of this article. Suffice it to say that the fundamental changes in all major professional sports in the United States resulting from player free agency, increased broadcast revenue, merchandise and other non-game revenue, and the conversion from family to corporate ownership of teams has made the financial bottom line just as important as the team's place in the standings.

  • 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.

  • Trey) Rogers and John C
    ROGERS 233 WORLD CUP SOCCER REPORT John (Trey) Rogers and John C. Stier Department of Crop and Soil Sciences, M.S.U. East Lansing, MI INTRODUCTION In June 1994, the Pontiac Silverdome will host four first-round World Cup soccer games. This is history in the making. Held only every four years, the World Cup will, for the first time ever, be played in the United States. Most importantly, the games at the Silverdome will be played on a natural grass field, a requirement for all World Cup matches and a first for indoor sports stadiums. More than one billion people worldwide will watch the Silverdome games on television. Events associated with the games are expected to pump $120 million into the Detroit-Pontiac economy, much of it from international travelers. In addition to the 1994 games, at least one major international game will be played on natural grass inside the Silverdome in June 1993. MATERIALS & METHODS In 1992, Michigan State University was asked by the Detroit-World Cup host committee and Pontiac Silverdome officials to provide technical assistance for installation and maintenance of a high quality turfgrass field inside the stadium. Insufficient light is the major obstacle to growing turf inside the stadium--approximately only 5% of sunlight penetrates to the stadium floor due to the high density cover. Research began in June 1992, and factors studied included supplemental light, grass species, and types of soil mixes. Nearly 200 wooden boxes, 16 ft2 (4' X 4') and 6 inches deep, were constructed out of 3/4" plywood and filled with one of two different sand and peat mixes.
