  • 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.

  • Historic Background Research and a Ground Penetrating Radar Survey Associated with the Greer Stadium Redevelopment Project in Nashville, Davidson County, Tennessee
    Historic Background Research and a Ground Penetrating Radar Survey Associated with the Greer Stadium Redevelopment Project in Nashville, Davidson County, Tennessee HISTORIC BACKGROUND RESEARCH AND A GROUND PENETRATING RADAR SURVEY ASSOCIATED WITH THE GREER STADIUM REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT IN NASHVILLE, DAVIDSON COUNTY, TENNESSEE by Virgil R. Beasley III, Charles Van de Kree, Ted Karpynec, Meghan Weaver, Travis Rael, Cassandra Medeiros, Elinor Crook, and Cristina I. Oliveira Prepared for: Metro Parks & Recreation. 511 Oman Street Nashville, Tennessee 37203 Prepared by: Tennessee Valley Archaeological Research 2119 Metro Circle SW Huntsville, Alabama 35801 Virgil R. Beasley III Principal Investigator January 2018 ABSTRACT Under contract with Metro Parks & Recreation, Nashville., Tennessee Valley Archaeological Research (TVAR) conducted historical background research and a ground penetrating radar (GPR) assessment of Greer Stadium in anticipation of potential development of the project area. Limited subsurface testing of the targeted areas was also conducted as a means to ground-truth the GPR data. The purpose of the investigation was to provide Metro Parks & Recreation with an assessment of the site in regard to previous disturbances and a recommendation about the potential preservation of archaeological remains in the project area. Investigations resulted in the identification of stratified archaeological deposits and intact cultural features, which likely contain human remains associated with the “contraband camps” that were part of the building of Fort Negley, a Civil War-era fortification designated as archaeological site 40DV189.The GPR survey, coupled with subsurface testing, also revealed that significant portions of the project area have been subjected to extensive land alteration and leveling. The survey indicates that the southwestern portion of the project area includes intact deposits that potentially include human remains.

    State of Tennessee Department of State Tennessee State Library and Archives 403 Seventh Avenue North Nashville, Tennessee 37243-0312 MORRISSEY, RALPH G. (1903-1956) PHOTOGRAPH COLLECTION ca. 1883-1956 (THS Collection) Reprocessed by: Theodore Morrison, Jr. Archival Technical Services Accession Number: THS 484 Date Completed: Feb. 1,1996 Location: VII-C-2-4v (VAULT) Microfilm Accession Number: 1513 MICROFILMED INTRODUCTION This finding aid focuses on the reprocessed photographic collection of Ralph G. Morrissey, literary editor and award-winning photographer for the Nashville Tennessean newspaper and the Nashville Tennessean Magazine. Spanning the years c. 1883-1956, the collection contains numerous black and white photographic prints and negatives which include subjects covered in literary reviews and Morrissey's series of reader photo- quizzes on Nashville architecture and historic sites. The Tennessee State Library and Archives received this collection from Mr. Morrissey's wife, Eleanor Fleming Morrissey, on March 8, 1982. Other subjects included within the collection come from photographs taken by Morrissey during his travels throughout the United States. The collection also includes other photographic media such as color transparencies, color prints and color slides. These materials as donated by Mrs. Morrissey were housed in 3 Paige boxes and contained an alphanumeric index corresponding with the 35 millimeter color slides and black and white 35 millimeter strip negatives, and a partial subject list of photographic prints created by Mr. Morrissey. This collection was previously processed in 1989 and the original order of arrangement has been maintained during reprocessing. Additionally, a comprehensive container list has been created. Prior to the Tennessee State Library and Archives' acquisition, or during the initial processing of the collection in 1989, 651 black and white 35 millimeter strip negatives were transferred to various repositories throughout the United States (see container list for specific sites which received negatives).

  • Down and out in Music City: the Urban Structuration Of
    DOWN AND OUT IN MUSIC CITY: THE URBAN STRUCTURATION OF HOMELESSNESS By Damian T. Williams Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Vanderbilt University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in Sociology December, 2010 Nashville, Tennessee Approved: Professor Richard Lloyd Professor Brooke Ackerly Professor Daniel Cornfield Professor Larry Isaac Copyright © 2010 Damian Terry Williams To the love of my life, Helene Di Iorio, the sweetest person I have ever known and To Nashville’s unhoused men, there but good fortune go I iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Many people have helped me complete this project. Among these are the members of my dissertation committee, who gave me the support, guidance and academic freedom necessary to develop an idiosyncratic and inchoate idea into an intelligible piece of sociological craftsmanship. Richard Lloyd, my dissertation chair, encouraged me to connect my local ethnographic observations to both historical and extra-local processes – his distinctive sociological imagination has profoundly shaped my work since we first crossed paths seven years ago in his seminars on “Contemporary Social Theory” and “Cities in a World Economy.” Intellectual craftsman par excellence, Professor Lloyd was a consistent source of sage conceptual and editorial advice.
