Yankee Stadium

1039) To understand the objectives one must know the definition of fan zone and stadium security as defined in the articles. Fan zones are where fans can watch the matches on oversize televisions drink and party while in designated area where it can be controlled and supervised like a stadium. “Stadium security rings constituted the first fenced barrier to the stadium for arriving fan groups. Restricted to holders of match tickets, accredited staff members of the press and…

Number 8 Is Retired Lawrence Peter “Yogi” Berra, the baseball Hall of Fame catcher, died Tuesday of natural causes at the age of 90. He was known by many people because of his memorable sayings. One being “90 percent of the game is half-mental.” He also has another one referring to a once popular restaurant, he says, “Nobody goes there anymore. It’s too crowded.” But, some of the “Yogi-isms” continue to ring true like, “It ain’t over till it’s over.” What should be remembered is that Yogi…

Cats VS Crows 53 thousand middle aged drunk blokes jumping out of their seats howling at the umpires to give the boys a free. This is the atmosphere that I am most familiar with. Usually the winter weekends begin with an hour long train ride into the city along with the agonising hope that the train will go express to Adelaide. “Ding”, a rush of red, blue and yellow rush out the doors. My dad and I squeeze through the electric crowds on the way to the oval, it is difficult not to smile with…

Field in Atlanta, Georgia, is something I believe people must experience at some point in their lifetime. Watching the Braves play on the television is a daily ritual for my family, but nothing compares to seeing the 2-D version of the players and stadium coming to life right before my eyes when I visit Turner Field. Excitement builds up inside of me as my family and I make the trek to enter the baseball…

I used to go through the motions not making anything out of my life. That was until my dad took me to a Twins game. Ticket in hand I was excited. On this mild day in June I was going to my first Twins game in the new stadium. The sights and sounds of the city of Minneapolis filled my senses. The scrapping of the metro coming to a halt is all I hear. Ticket vendors were doing anything to sell their tickets for tonight's game. Many people dressed in Minnesota Twins attire unpacked from the train…

Walking up and down the vast multitude of stairs at Fenway Park is nothing short of a battle. Paired with a thirty-pound case of Italian Ices, I am challenged to maintain a cheerful salesman's attitude and my breath. This forces me to frequently rush through encounters with those I'm selling to. However, some encounters are quite different. On a sweltering day in July, I was lucky enough to be selling Italian ice instead of hot pizza or sticky cotton candy. These frosty treats were in high…

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. Creating facilities for privately owned sports teams is an issue that has generated increasing scrutiny and controversy in recent years. Due to the high cost of stadium construction, local and state governments are generally asked for financial…

responsible for the cost of a new stadium in their city? It is a major question in today's society. In an article on pbs.org it states since the 1960’s, 91 sports stadiums have been built with public funding, 22 of them being fully paid for by the public (Elaine S. Povich). Instead of having the franchise owner fund these stadiums, which seems very reasonable considering they own the team, the public spends their money on these enormous stadiums. Football stadiums can take years to…

However, in 2016 the new US Bank Stadium opened upon the ground that used to hold the HHH Metrodome, this new stadium costed over 1 billion dollars, and fifty-percent of it was either bankrolled by the state of Minnesota or the city of Minneapolis. US Bank stadium is a prime example of government being involved where it is not necessary. Professional Sports organizations are damaging the public through over-taxation, and…

If I was a poor uneducated white twenty-five year old male from a farm family in england around 1730 and I was given the choice to settle in one of the following; the New England, the middle, or the southern colonies, I would choose the New England. I would choose this region mainly because eliminating the south as a place to settle is easy because of how difficult life was there compared to New England. Environmentally, the climate of the New England Colonies were much more cold than middle…
