  • Kansas Green Guide – Your Bi-Weekly Guide to Sustainable Living
    Kansas Green Guide – Your Bi-Weekly Guide to Sustainable Living Pro Sports Go Green September 14, 2012 July 22, 2012 Solar panels and recycling bins are becoming as common as hot dog vendors for professional sports teams and their venues. The process of putting the industry's operations on a more sustainable course is important. Not only is the business of big-time sports highly visible in our culture, but it also can use tremendous environmental resources. In addition to the direct environmental benefits, there is also a tremendous educational dividend to these efforts. While only 13 percent of Americans say they follow science, 61 percent identify themselves as sports fans. Below are some highlights of teams' greening efforts with regard to energy, water and waste: Energy: Self-sufficiency - Philadelphia’s Lincoln Financial Field, home of the National Football League’s Eagles, is becoming the first stadium in the US capable of generating 100 percent of its energy on-site through a mix of solar panels, a generator that runs on natural gas and biodiesel and soon, 14 wind turbines. Solar – Staples Center in Los Angeles has a 1,727-panel solar array covering 25,000 square feet of the arena’s roof. The 345.6-kilowatt system supplies 5 to 20 percent of the building’s energy use (depending on load) and produces 525,000 kilowatt-hours annually. Wind – In 2012, Cleveland’s Progressive Field became the first pro sports facility to install a wind turbine, which generates more than 40,000 kilowatt hours per year. Water: Irrigation – San Francisco’s AT&T Park has an irrigation “clock” that uses up-to-the-minute local data to establish zone watering times, saving 33-to-50 percent of water for irrigation.

  • The Psychological and Physiological Effects of the Stanley Cup Playoffs a Review of the Literature Joe Robinson
    The Psychological and Physiological Effects of the Stanley Cup Playoffs A Review of the Literature Joe Robinson Abstract This review examines the influence of the Stanley Cup playoffs on both the players and fans of the National Hockey League. Canada’s most beloved pastime is beginning to gain widespread popularity in the United States. As a result, there has been extensive research into the sport’s psychological and physiological effects in the past few years. A recent sociological study determined that suicide rates in the Canadian province of Quebec can be influenced by the playoffs and its relationship to other factors, such as sex, age, and marital status. Other studies have analyzed the reasons for the 2011 Stanley Cup riots in Vancouver. Expert opinions on this subject vary significantly. Psychology professor Ervin Staub believes the riots were the result of a decrease in testosterone levels of dejected male fans, who used “destructive means to regain their sense of effectiveness” (Alexander). Whereas author Bill Buford explained that the fans simply found it exciting to riot. Journalists have taken a different approach to examining the effects of the NHL playoffs, opting to report on player superstitions, such as playoff beards and jinxes associated with the Stanley Cup. Even fans have contributed to the research effort by providing a unique perspective on the psychological phenomenon known as the bandwagon effect. Medical professionals have researched the physical effects of the playoffs. A 2006 study by speech pathologist William Hodgetts concluded that fans who attend a single, three hour playoff game can potentially suffer serious hearing damage.

  • The Economic Impact of the Redevelopment of the Hartford Civic Center
    The Economic Impact of the Redevelopment of the Hartford Civic Center By Kathryn E. Parr, MA, Research Associate Bill Waite, MBA Research Assistance by: Marcello Graziano Jessica Tassan November 6, 2011 CONNECTICUT CENTER FOR ECONOMIC ANALYSIS Fred V. Carstensen, Director University of Connecticut 341 Mansfield Road, U‐1240 Storrs, CT 06269‐1240 Voice: 860‐486‐0485 Email: [email protected] http://ccea.uconn.edu Aetna funded the CCEA to produce an independent economic evaluation of New England Sports and Entertainment (NESE) proposed redevelopment of the Hartford Civic Center. The views expressed herein are the CCEA’s only and do not reflect those of Aetna or New England Sports and Entertainment. Hartford Civic Center Redevelopment II Executive Summary Opened in 1975, the Hartford Civic Center and Coliseum is one of the oldest venues in the southern New England area.1 At its peak circa 1988, the Center was home to an NHL franchise, the Hartford Whalers and hosted 318 events per year.2 Today, activity at the Center has declined. Its amenities are economically obsolete and its mechanical systems are aging. This report evaluates a plan to modernize and revitalize the Center and bring new entertainment options to the Hartford area. The goal would be to once more make it a hub of entertainment and economic activity in Hartford. The plans include a retrofit of the current structure, continuation of tenant events, increased numbers of other events, new tenants, a new atrium space with sport and other retail stores, a new food court, a new restaurant and sports bar, a new broadcast studio at street level, and a new IMAX theater.

  • Game Changer
    NATIONAL HOCKEY LEAGUE ALL-STAR GAME, THE WINTER CLASSIC AND THE NHL DRAFT As part of its commitment to environmental stewardship, the National Hockey League joined forces with NRDC on sustainability initiatives in 2008, when NRDC assembled an NHL Greening Advisor for each team in the league. The NRDC Greening Advisor for the NHL, like those produced by NRDC for other leagues and organizations, is a web-based resource that offers environmental guidance and strategies to promote more sustainable practices for NHL team and arena operations. “Most of our players learned to skate on outdoor rinks,” Starting in the 2010-11 season, the NHL established a says NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman. “For that magnificent league-wide initiative to work with Rock and Wrap It Up! to tradition to continue through future generations we need donate unused prepared food. All 30 NHL teams committed winter weather—and, as a league, we are uniquely positioned to pack up all prepared but unsold concession food on game to promote that message. We are thrilled to be able to work nights for redistribution to local shelters and other places with the NRDC and to draw upon its vast experience and that serve people in need. Over the course of the initiative’s expertise in greening league events and league and club first full season, NHL clubs provided 163,000 meals to operations." people in need and diverted 105 tons of food from landfills In January 2010, with support from NRDC, the NHL and incinerators across North America. This effort earned formally launched “NHL Green,” an initiative designed to each of NHL’s four Midwestern clubs the U.S.
