Remember the Cleveland Rams?
THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 7, No. 4 (1985) Remember the Cleveland Rams? By Hal Lebovitz (from the Cleveland Plain Dealer, January 20, 1980) PROLOGUE – Dan Coughlin, our bubbling ex-baseball writer, was saying the other day, “The Rams are in the Super Bowl and I’ll bet Cleveland fans don’t even know the team started right here.” He said he knows about the origin of the Rams only because he saw it mentioned in a book. Dan is 41. He says he remembers nothing about the Rams’ days in Cleveland. “Probably nobody from my generation knows. I’d like to read about the team, how it came to be, how it did, why it was transferred to Los Angeles. I’ll bet everybody in town would. You ought to write it.” Dan talked me into it. What follows is the story of the Cleveland Rams. If it bores you, blame Coughlin. * * * * Homer Marshman, a long-time Cleveland attorney, is the real father of the Rams. He is now 81, semi- retired, winters in his home on gold-lined Worth Avenue in Palm Beach, Fla., runs the annual American Cenrec Society Drive there. His name is still linked to a recognized law firm here – Marshman, Snyder and Corrigan – and he owns the Painesville harness meet that runs at Northfield each year. The team was born in 1936 in exclusive Waite Hill, a suburb east of Cleveland. Marshman vividly recalls his plunge into pro football. “A friend of mine, Paul Thurlow, who owned the Boston Shamrocks, called me. He said a new football league was being formed.

The Hall of Honor and the Move to Tier One Athletics by Debbie Z
The Hall of Honor and the Move to Tier One Athletics By Debbie Z. Harwell rom its earliest days, the University of Houston rose to Fthe top in athletics—not in football or basketball as you might expect, but in ice hockey. The team competed for the first time in 1934 against Rice Institute in the Polar Wave Ice Rink on McGowan Street. It went undefeated for the season, scoring three goals to every one for its opponents. The next year, only one player returned, but the yearbook reported that they “represented a fighting bunch of puck- pushers.” They must have been because the team had no reserves and played entire games without a break.1 The sports picture changed dramatically in 1946 when the University joined the Lone Star Conference (LSC) and named Harry H. Fouke as athletic director. He added coaches in men’s tennis, golf, track, football, and basketball, and a new director of women’s athletics focused on physical education.

Exhibition Place Master Plan – Phase 1 Proposals Report
Acknowledgments The site of Exhibition Place has had a long tradition as a gathering place. Given its location on the water, these lands would have attracted Indigenous populations before recorded history. We acknowledge that the land occupied by Exhibition Place is the traditional territory of many nations including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee and the Wendat peoples and is now home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit and Metis peoples. We also acknowledge that Toronto is covered by Treaty 13 with the Mississaugas of the Credit, and the Williams Treaties signed with multiple Mississaugas and Chippewa bands. Figure 1.

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.
