  • Play Ball: Assessing the Economic Impact of Small Market Baseball Teams
    PLAY BALL: ASSESSING THE ECONOMIC IMPACT OF SMALL MARKET BASEBALL TEAMS By Jeffrey S. Keesler A THESIS Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF URBAN AND REGIONAL PLANNING Urban and Regional Planning 2012 ABSTRACT PLAY BALL: ASSESSING THE ECONOMIC IMPACT OF SMALL MARKET BASEBALL TEAMS By Jeffrey S. Keesler This study examines the economic impact that the construction of the Lansing Lugnuts baseball stadium (Cooley Law School Stadium) in Lansing, Michigan had on the businesses surrounding the stadium. The Lansing Lugnuts are in the Midwest Baseball League (MBL), a single-A baseball league in the upper Midwest. The goal of this study is to determine whether or not constructing a stadium in a post-industrial city in the Midwest can be a catalyst for seasonal economic growth in the surrounding district. The study will examine privately owned properties in Lansing, MI that directly surround the Lansing Lugnuts baseball stadium, named Cooley Law School Stadium, as well as properties in two other zones within the city of Lansing. This is a mixed-methods study utilizing publicly available GIS parcel data for businesses located directly adjacent to Cooley Law School Stadium, as well the other two business zones. In addition, the study contains the results of a survey of business owners near the stadium. Dedicated to my beautiful and phenomenal wife, Venessa, without whom all of this would never have been possible. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First, I would like to acknowledge my wife, Venessa, for her patience, love, and unending support throughout not only this thesis project and my graduate school, but also our marriage of 12 years.

Melissa Lilje Professor Nancy Wonch Dr. Yvonne Camaal Canul This Advisory Committee includes individuals involved with our schools in Lansing. It also includes those doing work with our children and residents to help increase resources and tools for education. Many others not listed also provided feedback and input. This vision will continue to evolve throughout the campaign. P r o a c t i v e P l a t f o r m: A n d y S c h o r City and Schools I am the proud parent of two children in the Lansing School District. As mayor, I look forward to promoting the innovation and progress being made in our public schools. We need to prioritize familiarizing those with young children-- and those about to have children-- with the unique offerings our district has to offer, emphasizing Lansing as a district to choose. I will formalize a relationship between the Mayor’s office and the Lansing School District aimed at better showcasing and promoting the important improvements that we have made (and will continue to make). Moving forward, I would also like to see the City of Lansing partner with Ingham County, private partners, and the LSD to offer important wraparound services in our schools to help more directly address our community’s human service and socioeconomic needs. Additionally, I am committed to developing relationships with all of our schools (traditional public, private, and charter) as well as our higher education institutions in service of our community’s children.
