Frazer Submitted to the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering on May 20, 2005 in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Engineering in Civil and Environmental Engineering ABSTRACT As existing open-air or fully enclosed stadia are reaching their life expectancies, cities are choosing to replace them with structures with moving roofs. This kind of facility provides protection from weather for spectators, a natural grass playing surface for players, and new sources of revenue for owners. The first retractable-roof stadium in North America, the Rogers Centre, has hosted numerous successful events but cost the city of Toronto over CA$500 million. Today, there are five retractable-roof stadia in use in America. Each has very different structural features designed to accommodate the conditions under which they are placed, and their individual costs reflect the sophistication of these features.

  • The Impact of Retro Stadiums on Major League Baseball Franchises
    ABSTRACT MENEFEE, WILLIAM CHADWICK. The Impact of Retro Stadiums on Major League Baseball Franchises. (Under the direction of Dr. Judy Peel). The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of “retro” stadiums on professional baseball franchises. Retro stadiums, baseball-exclusive facilities modeled on classic architectural designs of the past, were built at an increasing rate beginning in 1992 with Baltimore’s Camden Yards. This study analyzed changes in franchises’ attendance, winning percentage, revenue and team value in the seasons following a team’s relocation to a retro stadium. Retro stadiums were found to positively increase attendance, revenue and team value for franchises at a higher rate than teams that did not build retro stadiums. An analysis of these variables and a discussion of the results for all individual franchises that constructed retro stadiums during the 1992-2004 period are presented in this study.

Clara’s decisions are crucial to what TV viewers see on-screen. To his left sits producer Doug Walton, who’s in Multiple monitors and split screens can show previews from 20 or more different charge of structuring the cameras used to cover a Blue Jays baseball game. entire broadcast. It’s a double operator job and constant communication is crucial. “If [Troy] doesn’t know what I’d like to do and vice-versa, that’s when the wheels fall off. It’s just a case of constantly telling him what I’m thinking. He needs to hear me, I need to know he’s heard me and he makes it happen every time. As long as the communication is there everything is fine,” said Walton. We’re a few innings into the game. There’s unwavering concentration within the broadcast truck and every second is meticulously calculated.
