  • Capitalizing on Stadia Investment Through Strategic Integration with the Urban Neighborhood
    Capitalizing on Stadia Investment through Strategic Integration with the Urban Neighborhood A thesis submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Architecture in the department of Architecture of the College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning by Emily Adams Bachelor of Science in Architecture University of Cincinnati May 2015 Committee Chair: M. McInturf, M.Arch. Committee Member: A. Kanekar, Ph.D. ii Abstract Sports have a special place in many people’s hearts. Stadiums create a venue for fans to witness their teams duke it out against competition in an emotional atmosphere riddled with tradition. While stadiums have been part of regions’ major infrastructure since Ancient Greek and Roman times, costs of modern stadiums have soared in recent years. The extreme investment associated with new stadiums is a hurdle for both cities and franchises. Stakeholders in stadium infrastructure can only capitalize on their investment by scheduling a variety of different types of entertainment to draw from the largest possible customer base. For a stadium to be an integral part of the urban fabric, it must perform at a much higher utilization rate than today’s standard. Local businesses must be incorporated into plans for stadia development. To better serve the diverse user group, a surround of hospitality spaces including bars, restaurants, and hotels must be present to allow for a customizable experience. Ease of transportation is another vital component of a successful stadium district. Ultimately, experiences hosted in stadia need to be versatile enough to excite a wide variety of users and offer them a customizable experience to cater to their personal traditions.

  • USTA/Midwest Section History
    USTA/Midwest Section History The USTA/Midwest Section has a deep history, one that includes great players and a network of volunteers and staff that has helped shaped the sport of tennis on a national and international level. The Beginning The USTA/Midwest Section (Western Tennis Association) has a rich tennis history spanning over a hundred years. It was five years before the turn of the 20th century that the Western Lawn Tennis Association was founded on July 13, 1895, when about 20 of the leading tennis players in the Midwest came together at the Chicago Beach Hotel in Chicago, Illinois. Initially, the Western Lawn Tennis Association (WLTA) governed all tennis clubs west of the Alleghenies, thus the "Western" name. However, Indiana, Ohio and Kentucky broke away and created the Tri-State Tennis Association until they merged again in 1920. Depending on which criterion is used, the sectional boundaries in 1895 or the current boundaries, tennis came to the Midwest via Cincinnati or Chicago. Cincinnati saw the first tennis court constructed, first tennis club, the nation's oldest league and one of the first national circuit tournaments. However, because Cincinnati was part of the Tri-State Tennis Association, to some historians Western tennis began in Chicago. The city hosted several prestigious tournaments and many of the earliest events. Chicago may claim the start of tennis in the Western Lawn Tennis Association because it hosted the first Western Tennis Championships. As the end of the 19th century came to a close, tennis was starting to explode in many directions. In 1896 the WLTA joined the United States National Lawn Tennis Association (USNLTA).
