Trumpbour examines the political institutions, commercial entities, civic leadership, and media organizations that influenced stadium construction. The author analyzes three significant recent historical periods: the Progressive Era, when modern fireproof stadiums were first built; the late 1960s and early 1970s, when multipurpose stadiums were built in downtown areas to promote urban redevelopment; and the late 1990s, when retro ballparks were designed to accommodate commercial and entertainment space. Charting this evolution, Trumpbour argues that there has been a dramatic shift in the role of the media, with media access emerging as a vital element in setting the ground rules for the debate on stadium construction." -- Stadiums Design and construction. 279875 Local Stades Conception et construction 301700 lcc 6 First edition GV413 General T78 2007 226145 226145 0 0 lcc 0 0 4 4 33 2012-05-03 Amazon 24.23 493399 0 General GV413 T78 2007 91000000025593 2019-09-27 00:00:00 1 34.23 2012-05-03 6
