Urban Sports Stadium Construction and Development

Sports Stadium Introduction The majority of Americans have had an experience of attending professional sports events on arenas or at a stadium. It is extremely difficult to forget the masses converging on a frequently huge arena, ballpark, or stadium. An approach to these amenities is frequently a spin of patrons from various backgrounds, merchandising, fumes of the local food retailers and restaurants as well as patrons surrounding the stadium (Ahlfeldt and Maennig 630 ). Individuals attending these events come from different parts of the region, emerging from buses, parking lots, and trains emptying into the immediate stadium neighborhood. Being close to a professional sport or mega-event facility being just before the game leaves some doubt of the community vitality they are affecting. In this regard, this paper argues whether or not the construction of the stadium results in an urban renewal.
