Cities and Sports Stadiums: A Planning Handbook
| PUBLISHER | McFarland & Company (04/20/2009) |
| PRODUCT TYPE | Paperback (Paperback) |
Throughout the United States, community development is increasingly focused on multi-use stadiums and arenas. Local governments and organizations are revitalizing their communities through these projects, which provide the best inner-city venues for sports, entertainment, cultural events, and business expositions.
The first section of this book reveals how cities negotiate, approve, finance, design, and build stadiums and arenas. The second section includes case studies demonstrating measures and safeguards to take so the planned project will be a fiscal and political success. A final section examines the future of sports facilities.
