    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.

    Houston Baseball Lesson.Rtf

    July 11, 2004----- HOUSTON---In the diverse sphere of American cities, Houston is a wild pitch. The nation's fourth largest metropolitan area is a rockin' 640 square miles of zoning-free combustion. There's boisterous billboards and strip malls, silver skyscrapers and blue bayous. The big ol' Astrodome was once the Eighth Wonder of the World. It now sits like a forsaken wedding ring in the shadow of the new Reliant Stadium, the home of the NFL's Houston Texans. The downtown skyline incorporates a 100- foot turquoise Ferris wheel that's part of a 16-month-old aquarium complex. Even the proudest locals don't take that sea world-to-the-sky touch sitting down. And did I mention furniture stores? Jim "Mattress Mack" McIngvale's Gallery Furniture on I-45 North sells more furniture per square foot of retail space than any store in the world. Mattress Mack's fast- talking showroom incorporates 100,000 square feet. "Big enough, bad enough, bold enough to do whatever you want," says G.J. "Jordy" Tollett, president and chief executive officer of the Greater Houston Convention and Visitors Bureau in a conversation over a downtown cocktail. "We're entrepreneurial: 'If you're going to do that there, I'm going to do that over here.' Everybody wants to outdo everybody. That's the way Houston grew from the 1940s to five years ago when people started to think, 'If we talk about this together, we can make Houston better.' We've since focused on that." For the second time this year, the sports world focuses on Houston as it hosts baseball's 75th Annual All-Star Game Tuesday at Minute Maid Park.

  • City of Sugar Land Article

    City of Sugar Land Article

    Sugar Land Makes It To The Big Leagues by Chuck Kelly, longtime Sugar Land resident During Major League Baseball's winter meeting in 1960, Houston was awarded a National League franchise. The new owners, all prominent Houstonians, named the team the Colt .45s and announced they would start play in April 1962. In the winter of 1961, the owners began constructing a temporary wooden stadium just north of the eventual site of the Astrodome, roughly where Reliant Center is now located. Houston and neighboring towns like Sugar Land were excited about the new team, but there was no frenzied promotion like there is today. The three Houston newspapers carried stories about the development of the new team, and the Colt .45s opened their stadium's construction site to the public. There wasn't much to see except a dusty parking lot and a rapidly assembled stadium behind a chain -link fence, but fans could visit a temporary building where they could get pennants, decals, caps, schedules and other items meant to drum up interest. Sugar Land's interest cranked up a notch or two in March 1962 when a local newspaper, The Triad, announced that Luman Harris, third base coach for the Colt .45s, would move his family to Sugar Land. Several Sugar Land families are now connected with professional sports, but the Harris family was the first, and Sugar Land was a small town of roughly 2,500 people back then. Their arrival in Sugar Land was big news. The Triad article detailed Lum's baseball background. He had pitched for the Washington Senators and coached in the big leagues for several years.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. Yi necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

Roman Mejias: Houston's first major league Latin star and the troubled legacy of race relations in the lone star state. Source: Nine Publication Date: 22-SEP-01 During the 1999 baseball season, businessman and owner of the Houston Astros Drayton McLane was involved in a controversy with the Texas Hispanic community. According to Marco Comancho, general manager of KTMD Television and a subsidiary of the Telemundo, and Rod Rodriguez, the station's sales manager, McLane made disparaging and belittling comments regarding Mexicans and Mexican Americans shortly before a dinner honoring the businessman with the Houston Advertising Federation's Trailblazer Award for service to the community. An outraged McLane vehemently denied having uttered any remarks that might be construed as racist. Following an investigation of the incident, Telemundo's chief executive, Roland Hernandez, apologized to McLane, stating that he found no evidence of racially biased comments being made by the baseball owner. In a prepared statement, a relieved McLane insisted, "Having spent a lifetime honoring the values of integrity and honesty, this episode has been unsettling. Despite a rush to judgment by some, this action by Telemundo, hopefully, will help to speed the healing process." (1) But if McLane devoted his life to the values of integrity, honesty, and community service, why were so many in the Hispanic community
