Kingsford Stadium Construction Case Study

Decent Essays
This study will investigate how the hypothetical construction of the Kingsford stadium would affect the housing values of the surrounding areas. It will analyse property values from other areas and compare them with values after a stadium has been built in that area. The methodology of ‘Hedonic analyses’ are used to assess the value differentials between dwellings in the close proximity to the site and compare that to similar builds in different areas.
The impact of economic and social factors of a new stadium build in Kingsford is currently being debated, with Aberdeen City Council making a decision in the near future on whether to allow the construction to go forward or not.
Aim

It wasn't denied the project most likely will be more in the neighborhood of $200 million when completed. Before doing the math, which shows that is more than $60,000 for each of the proposed 3,000-plus additional seats -- all in luxury suites most of us will only see through binoculars -- understand a big part of that money is for the new athletic facility that will have underground parking so, as one former trustee said, it will keep the administration from…

    Wedgefield Area School Dispute Leaders in Orange County for the better part of a decade have been attempting to get approval for a new school in the neighborhood of Wedgefield, due to major population of the schools in the surrounding area.

(Breen, Roth) This issue arose a few years ago when the economy was growing and many people moved into the Wedgefield and Timber Springs area, causing the public school system to become very overcrowded.…

    With dozens of professional sports stadiums built in the past decade, and many more on the way, it is time to put a halt to public-funded stadiums due to their lack of economic productivity. This is what Raymond Keating argues in his 1997 editorial ‘We Wuz Robbed! The Subsidized Stadium Scam.’ He believes that since taxpayers continue to lose more and more money from taxes and subsidies each year, Congress should eliminate tax breaks for financing stadium construction.…

    A commonality throughout professional football is that teams and their owners love new and enormous stadiums. In the 1950’s and the early days of professional football, stadiums were privately owned playing facilities designed to stay away from public finance (Swindell, Rosentraub, 1998, p. 11). Soon enough, with the growth in popularity of football, it became more common for teams to utilize resources of the state and local government and build publicly funded facilities (Swindell, Rosentraub, 1998, p. 11). NFL Teams can now “convince” the public to pay for the multi-million dollar facilities that they want even though it could have a negative impact on the community. Owners can do this by threatening to leave, expressing economic potential, and promoting the effects on team performance.…

    Sports Facilities & Government Funding is something that is helpful for only owners, teams, and state governments when basic services is left out with not many things. Government funding leaves basic services with nothing. The government is really not being fair to the people who make the stadiums for the owners, team (players), and fans. Subsidized venues should get all of the credit for their help and support for stadiums, owners, and players.…
