Emirates Stadium

Tiger Stadium, I had a whole day and night to pick on and aggravate my beautiful granddaughter. Life does not get much better than that! Our seats in the stadium were located just above cloud level. My acrophobia, which usually kicks into high gear on the first wrung of a ladder, never loosened its grip on me the entire game. Fortunately, most people were too busy tending nosebleeds to notice my white knuckles gripping the seats. Nevertheless, I thoroughly enjoyed being in Tiger Stadium.…

There are many different organizational culture aspects found at the Lincoln Electric Company. They have a long history of leading the industry standard in specific facets such as providing employees the best place to work and maintaining loyalty amongst customers, to name a few. My understanding of the culture at Lincoln Electric Company is one of respect for employees, respect for upper management, a sense of community, and brand loyalty. Respect for employees is demonstrated in…

Both authors have comparable views on sports with common themes such as stereotyping, respect towards athletes, and viewing an athlete as a hero. William Moller opens his short story “We, the Public, Place…

Sometimes it’s difficult for me to remember every place has a history regardless if residents care for it or not. However, it’s the most difficult when I think about the borough I live in, The Bronx. During my senior year of high school, I received an invitation from The Bronx County Historical Society to join an event. The society invited valedictorians from every Bronx High School to attend this awards reception. This event took place outside next to the Museum of Bronx History where the hosts…

“boom!” the crack of the bat echos around the stadium as the crowd begins to cheer almost at once. Everyone looks to the person standing next to them with hands held high screaming at the top of their lungs and jumping in rejoicement. Although there are people from many cultures and all different walks of life, so many different emotions, senses, and feelings are experienced at a baseball game that brings everyone together. The crowd of the stadium is what brings it to life. In one section you…

In a topic that is widely discussed on campus and seems like a no brainer to many has had a bunch of people working, wondering, and wishing. From 1897 to 1986 Wichita State University played competitive football at many different levels including the KCAC, CIAC, and our current conference of the Missouri Valley. Boasting a 375-402-47 record and 14 conference titles the Shockers were at best a sub-par team. Over history the Shocker football team endured some tough times and none were more…

As soon as my mom arrived we helped him to his feet and to the trailer. “I called Oak Ridge, they have a spot ready for him, we need to hurry.” We arrived at the equine hospital and eased him into the large metal building. The helplessness in his eyes had turned to fear. “He was laying down when we got to the barn this morning and he wasn’t acting normal,” She said as she struggled to keep Jazz calm. Knowing what it meant when horses laid down we knew something was definitely wrong. Hours…

For the first 12 years of my life, I have dealt with loss of friends and relatives through death. However the loss of my dog sargent was much more dreadful. Not only did I lose my dog Sargent, I also lost a close family member. He was much more than any ordinary dog, he was and still is family. I will remember him forever. Going back to before I was born, my parents got a puppy and they named him Sargent. Sargent was a sheltie, he had thick white and brown fur.Later on after they got Sargent…

In 1959, Chavez Ravine, a small rural community found just north of the heart of Los Angeles, was gravely disrupted as it’s occupants were displaced to make way for construction of the Dodgers Stadium. There is no doubt that the decision to build a new stadium on the site of the former area caused serious repercussions for the newly arrived Los Angeles Dodgers,their owner Walter O’Malley, and the predominantly Mexican-American community forced to leave and relocate their homes and lives…
